There's a joke on the commune...Miss Delicious calls me "Wally" as she knows of my love for Waldorf education and laughs at my attempts (mostly pathetic) to mimic their philosophy in our "organic" form of pre-schooling...

I'm not sure the Waldorf school down the street would appreciate the "creative play" these crazy kids were into today.

Meet Simpleville's SWAT team...hence the "lakeboarding life jackets (via-Bee)"--said to be their SWAT vests (via-Next Door #1).

How would the Waldorf school view my son's very commercial t-shirt, paired with his synthetic rain boots, complete with very sharp manual hedge trimmers?

I'm not sure I can live up to the name anymore...this photo certainly acts as evidence to a non-Wally-like way of living...although, we are working in nature, he's near "one" with the dirt, and he's learning an awful lot through mirroring his guardians... let's call it a wash, a Wally-wash at that.

On a different note, a very exciting note and an answer to prayers....remember my post regarding maintaining a healthy diet while living on a very tight budget? Well, He always comes through, my friends...as Kid and I were trimming today, our neighbor behind us asked us if we would like 1/4 of a purely grass-fed cow! They were making room for a new cow and had over 1/4 of a cow left from last year. I now have an abundance of healthy, delicious, and FREE meat! God is so very good. He's probably a bit Wally Himself, don't you think?
