Saint Patrick’s Day Shakes

Nan brought the goodies for St. Patrick’s Day milkshakes, mint extract and all.  Nan also made some soda bread with Johanna and Tabitha.  This was, um, lunch.  Really.  I don’t think we ate anything else.

This is really funny.  The boys have been practicing at the Charles Finney school for the upcoming production of The Sound of Music.  They’ve made some new friends and reconnected with some formerly homeschooled boys they used to know.  One of their new friends often inquires about homeschooling.  One day they took the iPod with them to take photos of themselves in the costumes.  Nigel decided to mess with their new friend C. and showed him this picture, stating, “This is what it’s like to homeschool.” 
C gaped and opined how lucky Nigel is.
Then one of the former homeschooler boys looked over C’s shoulder and said emphatically, “THAT is not what homeschooling is like!”
Busted.
