Bean Teepee

We finally got round to building the bean teepee which I promised my kids we would make...
It was originally done by a homeschool mom on a forum I belong to and when my 11yo son saw it he wanted to make it for his brother to play in. It is still a work in progress, so far we have planted some granadilla plants and today we are going to plant some runner bean and pea seeds.

Where Oh Where does the time go!?

I have been wanting to update this blog for months, and somehow just never seem to find a spare moment to do so - actually I should be outside working in the garden, or working on the pile of accounting work lying on my desk as I sit here and type this. My now two year old is demanding that we go outside...
So much has happened, that I would love to post about, we are still happily homeschooling, heading in a more and more unschool direction as time passes - schooling the kids has simply become part of sharing our lives with them. Ryan is now two and #3 is due in about 1 1/2 months.

Only time will tell if I manage to post here more often...
