I take the responsiblity very seriously..(can you tell?) and look for every opportunity to teach them. The curriculum I chose helps me know what to expound on when I get the opportunity and covers any gaps. But it's not all they do. It's more of a guide.
As they get older, they will naturally need to aquire the skills to be able to provide for their future families. This will require more and more discipline at studies and preparing for college. Can I help them with this? Can I do it? DARN TOOTIN'!
When we were done riding, I sent them down the path through my woods alone to find the "Witch's circle" and explore it for themselves.
(hehehe) Before you guys freak out, I am not a witch (I hope you know that!)... but there is a very cool little secret clearing in my woods that has intrigued me since I moved in here. When I moved in here, the place was a mess and overgrown, all except this nicely groomed path out to a nicely maintained grassy clearing in the middle of my woods... There is a cool wooden chair in the middle of it, and a fire pit. I named it the witch's circle, and like to create intrigue in the minds of visitors who try to figure out what the former residents did out there.
