It sound sliek your little men are much like ours. :-) and, yes, they do much rather like active productivity rather than desk work. Today, they are chasing down an owl that has been heard near the goat barn...it has them all astir...what kind of owl? How big? big enough to carry off one of the newborn kids? Great fun! I love this aspect of teaching boys. blessings to you and yours today.Julianne Primerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790167589331156382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-83554424654203283242014-03-01T01:24:49.275-08:002014-03-01T01:24:49.275-08:00I almost cried after reading the list.

Your children are blessed to have you as parents. It sounds really fun being a woodsman (or woodswoman haha).Emmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-48680248993537248182014-02-26T19:38:04.566-08:002014-02-26T19:38:04.566-08:00Love this!

We live in the country and our home has an indoor wood burning fireplace that we use non stop from the end of October until Spring. But, it would feel like forever to our little woodsmen and so we have set up an outdoor fire pit now, too. We don't know how to start fire with flint though...maybe you could do a tutorial? :-)<br />Our boys love outdoor skills and the adventure of exploring, hunting and gathering. Please, do share more of these posts...they are very affirming to us who like a little bit of a different home learning experience. Boys at our house would rather be practicing being pioneers than sitting at a school table. :-)<br />Thank you for such a fun post!~Kristin~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07414904472345377597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-13073035783473840602014-02-26T16:13:28.949-08:002014-02-26T16:13:28.949-08:00Dear Annon,

We will be doing more Little Woodsmen posts, they boys daily activities are very fun, though obscure from most of the populace. Another foot of snow and we can defenestrate the children, a great winter pastime. :-) Julianne Primerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790167589331156382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-52997882085549726742014-02-26T16:09:52.816-08:002014-02-26T16:09:52.816-08:00Deanna,

I do that in many areas...then have to work hard to catch up. Manners with the littles is my next project to tackle. I am thinking of Lindsay, the wedding and you...prayers for a blessed time!Julianne Primerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790167589331156382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-21400477215641129932014-02-26T16:06:42.150-08:002014-02-26T16:06:42.150-08:00Dear Huisvrou,

One of the children stole my "Betsy socks" and I had to go hunt them down. :-)Julianne Primerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790167589331156382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-52159081847907542582014-02-25T08:08:13.291-08:002014-02-25T08:08:13.291-08:00Oh Julianne,

I think I may include some of this learning into our school year for the younger ones. They haven't had as much practice as the older ones.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!<br />DeannaDeanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-57626152529061379512014-02-24T19:07:21.673-08:002014-02-24T19:07:21.673-08:00Hi Julianne!

I hope you are all recovering from the illness in your last post. I've been praying for your family. So many of those nasty germs hanging around this year.<br />I'm so glad the socks are keeping your feet warm in this snowy weather. We have about 7 inches of predicted "flurries" so far today and it's still piling up out there. I can only imagine how much you have at your house.<br />Blessings always my friend,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36556945.post-23700207358859053542014-02-24T17:08:51.277-08:002014-02-24T17:08:51.277-08:00Oh my!

Now that they are teens, it's more difficult to get them interested in much to do outside......well with us parents that is. Now let my dad (grandfather that hangs the moon) mention going camping, and every single one of his grandkids are ecstatic! Not to mention my brother and I get pretty ecstatic too. Thanks for a great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
