My Inspiration..

I finally got to meet a woman who has inspired me over the past 6 years. We meet up in Tucumcari NM and had some fun. I wasnt as fun as I could of been since I cried several times (sorry holly). The kids had a blast though. They played, swam, played at the park and got to hang out in a really cool RV. Oh and they got to stay in a fantastic little cabin. When I was alone in the cabin I cried a lot. Just wondering HOW I will raise my kids the way I feel is right, all alone? I look at them and continue to wonder how I will do it. I did not sleep again that night but layed there cryiing to myself with Khyro on my legs, J on my back and M across my head. I could hear them breathing and it made my heart ache. Ok, enough sob stuff onto the fun pics.

Homeschooling the Enki way.... first few days

Well we have officially started! I get excited every evening getting what we need ready. Reading over our weekly story, nature story and craft. I dont have the true rhythm down yet. But after 2 weeks I am getting close. The kids respond so well to a set rhythm and this is my goal for them and myself, to know what is coming next each day. Khyro did his first craft from Enki craft book. It is a ribbon staff. He was excited at first and then became very frustrated. I read him the story of a fox chasing a rabbit that I borrowed from another Enki HS mom. He didnt quite understand it, so I read it again. By the 4th ribbon he was able to do it himself. Afterwards he just sat there like he was emberassed? I let him know how proud I was of him. He then asked if he could leave it there to show his dad, of course! I let him know that now he could get a pair of shoes that he can tie all on his own, he was very happy about that!!

Mother Earth's creations

"Mom, did mother earth make this for us"? khyro asks. I turn around and he had pulled out a huge carrot from our little garden. I told him that "yes, mother earth took the seeds we planted had the root children hug them tight to keep them warm until they grew. Now they are big enough to eat". So, Khyro and Journey pulled up all of the carrots that were ready. They were so amazed by the process J decided to pull up a cucumber and yanked up the entire plant. We had to replant it, started to look a bit sad.
