back in the saddle

i haven't update this blog in so long...partially, just not knowing what to write or not putting aside the time to write, but so many things have been happening that much of the time i just didn't even think about it...so, back in the saddle and writing again.
so much is going on and has been going on...the kids are learning to read and write, they still need a lot of work on it, but the are 5 years old i don't expect them to be proficient any time soon. we've had our difficulties at school learning to grip the pencil, needing extra help writing, being distracted/low attention span, being teased, etc... but they are really blooming and blossoming in to wonderful and unique little dudes...choosing to wear blue nail polish to school despite adversity, wanting to grow hair long or wear gnome or viking hats to school (i crocheted the gnome hat, but bought the viking hats, but have since found patterns to crochet viking hats with detachable beards, which we may have to do), discussing and discovering ideas such as belief systems, and using our third eye and diversity...connor and declyn both have fairy friends that most people can't see, so they tell people all they need to do is use their third eye...unfortunately, most people do not/will not get the concept, but i encourage them to continue with their quests. connor has been showing great interest in the god thor (he's a super hero and a god, so that is extra cool) and declyn is more interested in the green man and stories of avalon and fairies, so i figure that we'll get books on both...read up on norse mythology and on green men and celtic myths and fairie stories, let them choose their paths as we go, let them decide what is right for them, they may change here and there, i know i've had my own variances and adaptations on my path. i hear from both teachers about how well behaved the boys are and how sweet and affectionate they are and how rare it is that they have a child so affectionate and connor's teacher loves the "apple notes" that i send in, saying that they help perk him up and lift his spirits and that she loves reading them to him because they are so special and so heartfelt. declyn is a special child in many ways...he has had extremely vivid dreams and nightmares since infancy and often seems "out of his body" or "in his own little world", usually because he sort of is...he does what some people spend a lot of time trying to do, but comes naturally to our family...he goes into the astral realm and sees 2 worlds at once...but he needs to learn to control it some so we are learning meditation techniques and making astral protection amulets and a special dream pillow and dream catcher for him. i'm sure some people are going to think it's crazy, but if anyone knows what indigo children are, they'll know just how special these "children" are (many indigoes are not children anymore). well, i'll leave it at that for the moment...i may come back in a day or two wth my gnome and elf hat pictures. peace and love to you all!
