Glimpses of learning

Homeschooling is really a misnormer, we don't do school and then not, we learn all day. So when the books are hastily tucked back in the cabinet and the kitchen counter cleared of any lunch evidence I often find the boys exploring and learning in the innovative ways.
Old clothes, pillows, a bag of zip ties, Mindstorm, and a Rubber band gun along with lots of creativity lead to DLF - dear large friend - who attacked Bob with rubber bands when he walked through the door. The DLF had a voice activated computer inside his bulky chest and Bob's "Hi I am home" is all it took to trigger the barrage of rubber bands.
The DLF is now hanging out under Lukas' bed and I have stopped short in the track many a times this week, thinking it is one of our precious boys who is hiding out, only to once again realize that it is only DLF.


Our house is just the right size for four people, so Bob is suggesting that DLF finds a new home in the next few days... I am guessing he too was fooled one too many times by the large body hunched over seemingly hiding out while there are chores to be done.
