Today was our new biweekly homeschool meet up.
This time a park i havent been to yet, ( most of them!!) But i really needed the interaction. Nothing to say about the kids. I NEED IT lol. Im too social to have no interaction ever. One of the moms is like me, Maybe more loud haha. Shes honest, and loud and talkative like I am. Its nice. Shes a bit more out there then I am. But ill take it. Another mom is super quiet. Shes really introverted and started this up so that her kids can maybe be less introverted. They are pretty introverted haha. Another mom is plenty friendly too. I mean it all works. I know i dominate conversation. I feel bad about it sometimes. But i really am an extrovert. I love talking and chatting with other moms. We talk kids, homeschool stuff, events. interests. The one who started it, the introvert told me she was happy im so extroverted. It helps because she never knows what to say. I said nothing is off limits with me. Ill chat up anything anyone anywhere haha.
We ended up being there 3.5 hours chatting! The one loud mom and I seemed like we hit it off pretty well. Her 9 year old really liked my 5 year old daughter. So thats awesome. And they do live right around the corner. Maybe 5 minutes on the scooters/bikes, 10 minute walk. The older kids are 11 and 14, Mine are 12 and 15. So about the same ages. My boys arent too sure about her girls. But they will manage haha. I think they will get to be friendly.
While we were at the park this boy saw us ( there were like 8 teenagers) he hopped the fence and latched onto my older two boys. B told me hes 14, almost 15, homeschooled, one of 8. And hopes we come back because he wants to visit more with the boys. I said no problem lol. We can do that. He dosent have a phone yet. But he will for his birthday next week. I also found out that B has been texting some of the other kids from the group. So im really happy about that. Hes been talking with one girl who is 16. She used to do gymnastics and is into art. im not sure what they talk about. Hes of the couch and plays games lol. But hey, if it works it works.
It helps for the nephews and my younger two boys too. I mean its just good.
Friday we are doing a nature walk at a nature center. I think ill bring my camera and do some shots while we enjoy the time out. Maybe we will see some wildlife. We have seen some deer, some elk. bluebirds! Lots of hawk lol. I hope to see more wildlife :) I love nature. It goes deep into my soul. I need nature in my life and living in the middle of this city, this concrete jungle is rather suffocating sometimes.

Oh my i was looking at my beautiful freckle faced L today. He has the most beautiful bright blue eyes. and SO many freckles. Hes even getting them on his forehead now. It was just a few spattering two years ago. Hes really his mamas boy. I have a lot of freckles too :) Missy girl has a couple, most of my kids have a couple. But my L, has so many! Its so beautiful. I know for me growing up, being freckled was a constant source of teasing. But for L, Hes really sensitive. And i hope no one teases him. Because it really is pretty. With his bright blue eyes and blonde hair. I just had to take a couple photos of him. He has these half moon eyes when he smiles. Like upside down moons. Its really cute. :)

Ch has green eyes like me. With gold rings around the iris. They are so bright and fun. I wish he could look at me easier. He tends to look away, hard for him to meet peoples gaze. So you only see them for the moment. He just looks and looks away. He CAN meet your eyes, But he dosent really do it much. I love when i can get a photo of him looking at me. So often hes side eyeing me, or looking away.... Its just. Hard. Hes such a different kid you know…

Oh so my friend is having a baby, ive made her things for her first two boys. I have a strong feeling this one is a girl. I picked up some really pretty patterned yarn in aqua, mint, orange, and yellow. Then a solid aqua. I think im going to make her a blanket. Maybe seeing shes only a few hundred miles away. I can actually give it to her and meet her in person lol.

ok i best get going. I feel much better for getting some interaction with some people. Now its time to finish my knitting and then do some spionning :)
