Out of the Gate

Primo started a blog last year.  One post, then forgot about it until a few weeks ago.  Now he's started it back up again, and posts almost every day.  He doesn't overthink it, just jumps in and rattles on about whatever is on his mind.
Here is his mama, trying to take a leaf from his book.  I've had a book on blogging out of the library for two months.  I've laid awake thinking of names for this blog, like I did when I was pregnant with Snorzy ( boy number three, but I didn't know that then and it was the thought of having to name a girl that kept me up nights).
I want to write about my adventures in homeschooling and raising my three sons.  About cooking and crafting and sometimes feeling ambivalent about my life's work.

For now, I have to take a moment to congratulate myself, just for having begun.

Primo today: duct tape creations, some for the Flea Market Craft Fair on Friday, some just for himself.

Radish today:  in the darkened back room, experimenting with a flashlight and some construction paper, learning about the color spectrum (while Primo at the same time was doing Snap Circuits experiments in the living room.  Good day for science learning in our homeschool!)

Snorzy today:  first word, "bath", while taking a rare morning bath.
