Well we completed the first of our projects for Advent. This beautiful Advent Wreath (see 10/15 entry) was lovingly created by my three oldest children (Hope -14, Lenny -almost 11, & Lily – 6). When I told Hope that we were going to do the project, she declared “I love unschooling!!!!”. While we are not unschoolers, I have been trying to embrace the things I’ve been learning in Elizabeth Foss’ book, Real Learning and become more of a “Relaxed Homeschooler”. Apparently, Hope is enjoying my transformation from rigid to relaxed.
P.S. My daughter Lily is dressed in last year’s sheep costume for the Christmas Nativity play at church. I’ve been asked to make a new one for this year’s tableau – one that doesn’t have packing peanuts attached to it (not my creation).
Lovely! Beautiful children, beatiful wreath!
