Meet Luc, Outlaw Extraordinaire and a scary gentleman indeed.
That’s a root he found in the park mulch, perfectly gun shaped. This is what little boys do: they find weapons in the simplest of objects. I know some moms try to limit, prevent, or disallow gun-play, but this seems like a [...]
I’m having a string of funny kid posts at the moment. Enjoy, because next is probably a string of depressed writer posts, or how-to farm posts, and they are not nearly as amusing. Of course, if I’m doing the farming, it can get pretty ridiculous pretty quickly. But that’s another story.
Anyway, Luc, who recently [...]
Just overheard! Hot off the game play!
Luc: Okay, let’s pretend we just got married.
Sophie: Okay. You kiss me.
Luc: Okay. [kiss]
Sophie: Now what do we do?
Luc: We just had all that Get Married Cake, so we ate all the cake and now we’re tired so we’re going to go to bed.

Sophie, 6, is learning to write. It is so cool to watch her excellent mind figure this stuff out. We don’t do any formal training (we’re unschoolers after all), but she is surrounded by words and books and text and stories and writers, plus the easy-going expectation that, of course, when she wants to, she’ll [...]
After an hour or two of hanging out, watching some tv and just being silly…
…it’s time for a walk.
Maybe I should call it a run?
Two of the best things in the world about having a puppy [...]
I caught this happening outside yesterday morning and ran to get the camera.
What are they doing? Reenacting some animalistic cave-dweller scene? It was very purposeful and ritualistic whatever it was. It had lines and specific poses. It had a soundtrack.
I can’t tell you how much I love eavesdropping on [...]
Bleh. Turns out I was blowing my nose a million times not because I was cold (or not just because of that) but rather, because I was getting a cold. I’ve been the Mucous Monster for three days now, croaking feebly from the bed, “Kids, stop fighting…” It’s pathetic. No writing, no yoga, no guitar [...]
Here’s another sweet picture I found while trying to wade through the 500 photos on my camera’s memory card.
This was taken on the first day of school—we know because there is a school down the road from us and we had seen the line of bumper to bumper cars trying [...]

It’s morning, we’re first waking up, and Luc looks up at me with a gasp. “Mom!” he says in this sweet, surprised voice. “I just remembered my dream!”
I am instantly intrigued. “What was it?”
“Chicken butt!” Peels of giggles.
What? You don’t know about Chicken Butt? It’s a kid joke. Basically, you say, [...]
Time for another game of What’s-On-Our-iPod! First I’ll just say that our ipod touch remains our most beloved game platform, over the ps2, the nintendo DS, and running neck and neck with the PC only it probably wins because it has the added advantage of being mobile. As I’ve said before, I had no idea [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
