Learn Nothing day was July 24th.
We failed miserably. It was raining so we stayed inside. We tried not to watch TV or go outside or clean or cook, but Lil'Bug really wanted to play a new board game and we had to eat.......
Then we just had to read books. The rain let up and Lil'Bug escaped to the back yard where she found a new bug and some ripe-ish tomatoes. We made a salad for lunch and she experimented with what toppings taste good together.
Then, I couldn't stop her, she got out the crayons and paint.....
You get the idea.

How Can You Learn Nothing?
Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).

Cool Beans
Win the Essential Babywearing Stash from Along for the Ride (one Beco Butterfly, one Hotsling baby pouch, one BabyHawk Mei Tai, one Zolowear Ring Sling, and one Gypsy Mama Wrap)
Over the course of the week I have been approached three times, twice by children, about the "puppy" in my baby carrier. Um, no, it's a baby.....to which the reaction is surprise and shock.
Why is it that people expect a puppy in a baby carrier and children on leashes? (Thanks LD) Also, nobody ever worries about spoiling a puppy by holding her too much or answering a cry in the middle of the night. Bah.

First Harvest of Summer 2008
A small first harvest. We'll blame the tons of rain.
Ok, if we are being honest, the one red tomato is the only early one that survived Lil'Bug's budding culinary artistry, ala green tomato secret soup for the birds. Secret as in hidden for a week in the heat and found by a, "Hmmmmm, what is that awful smell and where is it coming from?"
First tomato was quickly eaten as was the first pepper.
Ha ha. The tot gets the prize.
What's this? A small green pepper? Mmmmm. Yum. Wait a minute.
What happened next? Mama had to put the camera away and assist with an emergency mouth is burning OMG help crisis from the tot who licked the pepper seeds out of the case. A Serrano pepper. Water, milk, strawberry ice cream, lots of tears, and eventually just time. Learning happens everyday!

Cute Pictures of the Wee Ones
Pirate Kung Fu Warrior Princess. I don't know. That is what she called herself.
The "masters" helped her train all day at the park. She is to become the dragon panda tiger warrior. Or something.
It is not a hair do. I can't make it "do" anything but stand straight up. Her hair will actually pop off hats. It is almost two+ inches long. Yes, she is once again asleep. Really she is awake sometimes!
