Mia: Who? What? What’s going on? Why is it so dark in here?
Mama: Mia let your eyes adjust to the barn. Slow down. Now, who’s here? Are the little people back?
Meadow: Is it the little people?
Mia: Daisy has one.
Minty:What?
Mama: Don’t say What – its rude.
Minty: Well what am I supposed to say? When? Why would I say When when I mean what?! I know which when it is – it is now. What’s wrong with What?
Hairy: Don’t talk to your mother like that.
Meadow: A little people – I see a little people. Daisy HAS one.
Mama: Tell her to put it down. Minty move out of my way. I need to see.
Meadow: Don’t eat it Daisy. Its just little. Mama said put it down.
Daisy: I am trying to ignore it but it won’t go away.
Minty: No licking either. Mama said no licking the little people.
Mia: Aaaah! Did you see that? I’m telling on you Daisy. Mama, she scared it. She gave it the look. Daisy scared the little people person on purpose.
Mama: Daisy. Be good.
Minty: I can run rings around them though! Watch.
Mama: Don’t tease them Minty. They are only little. They just want to be friends… miss c said they are coming twice a week for a while. We are to help them with their lessons while their own Mama has a break. So be nice. Pay attention. You might learn something too.
Good morning. For a little while, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, three of the builders children will come to the Farmy for their homeschooling. As well as their regular lessons I have designed a few units based on the farm. This week we are studying sheep and wool. They will be arriving soon so I had better get busy with the chores.
We have a strange day weather wise. It is 21F (-6c) now, at 6am and it will keep dropping from here to 2F (-16). So we have already reached our high for the day.
Have a lovely day – we will be having a lively one.

Oh how wonderful! three wee kiwi’s to share your farmy.
Hmmm………. does that mean all the residents need to be on their best behaviour?
I must be a kid at heart as I would love to come visit you for sure and your fun farm!
Ohh, is going to be fun! The band seems very intrigued…Have a nice day C! 🙂
Homeschooling is hard work and a lot of fun! How lovely for you to participate in these children’s life in this way. To this day, my children remember those wonderful people who took on the role of teacher during their homeschooling years.
Their Mum needs a little time to gather herself, it is hard work for a mum of five (two of whom are very tiny) to home school. This way she gets a wee break and I get to activate my slumbering mind.. c
Aw! Cute!
How nice for both of you a perfect way to help each other 🙂 The animals will grow to love those little faces full of wonder ENJOY! Could you keep that weather out there 🙂 brrrr and he is hunting the beach tonight he is NUTS I swear but last night he found 4 rings to gold and two silver 🙂
Fantastic! Enjoy your time with all these lovelies!! And so nice that you can help another momma out. I’m sure this time that the kids spend on the farmy and taking a few their lessons from someone as accomplished and interesting and fun as you, will be beneficial for everyone.
I bet the “little ones” momma is so thankful to have the blessing of a little extra time. How fun to spend a couple of days with miss c!
I love that you’re teaching the children and that you’re teaching them real life things about the farm. It’s the best way to learn. They’re going to love it. 🙂
Fun post, Miss C!
