We are no longer selling to Hobgoblins: we discovered they they are fond of eating household pets! We can't take the chance of them gobbling up cute little Harpo!
Whereas Brownies are protective to families and love to help with chores!
Brownie: legendary kind of creature popular in folklore around Scotland and England. Customarily brownies are said to inhabit houses and aid in tasks around the house. However, they do not like to be seen and will only work at night, traditionally in exchange for small gifts or food. They take quite a delight in porridge and honey. They usually abandon the house if their gifts are called payments, or if the owners of the house misuse them. Brownies make their homes in an unused part of the house. They were also known as the guardians of dragons.

I love the wifi ready option! If I could fit, I'd move in in a heartbeat...
How much are the taxes and what are the neighbors like??? :)
Hey Tara, You should hear Noah describe all the stuff inside the house. It's pretty awesome!
There's been some fairies interested but we're holding out for goblins!

Hi Sharon,
Hobgoblins never pay taxes and the neighbors are a little kooky!
You are so cute and funny!!
yes the Olympic Opening Ceremonies were on up here at around 8:00 am on CBC... I think I heard that they were showing them in the States tonight on CNN..
This is fabulous, just fabulous!
.....My favorite blog post of the day!!!!!
btw....what Spiderwick Chronicles unit study are you using?
Hey Tammy, Thanks! I made up our own:) I couldn't find much on the Internet. That's pretty much how we do our homeschooling. We only use math work books and I even make up a lot of the math Noah does. Like we also have been doing Civil War lessons and we used plastic Civil War soldiers for math counters to learn multiplications. Also made up math stories to go along with the Civil War unit.
Now I'll brain storm some Spiderwick math, ETC....
He's working on a "McPherson Chronicle" filling it with fairies and creatures. That will help with his drawing, writing and imagination skills. He made a "seeing stone" from air dry clay.
Still thinking about some other activities to go along with this theme. The next two weeks he has another Civil War, A Harry Potter and a Michigan Archaeologist day camps coming up. Busy! Like your kids!!!
Oh, I am so glad that Harpo will be safe.
I must be part brownie! I don't like it when gifts are considered payments or obligations either. Brownies are very wise to throw their gifts out into the universe and let them scatter where they may.
Yes, we live and learn. We feel bad about discriminating against goblins but family and pet safety come first!
You are like a little brownie! lol....
Anet, you added more since I was here... I love what you wrote on little Brownies..........I wish some would come and live here!!
Hey Gwen, yes Brownies would make much better houseguest than a goblin! I could use a few brownies for sure! We are having too much fun with this homeschooling unit!
oh we so love spiderwick...and I want to live in that wonderful home...it is lovely.
wouldn't it be fantastic if our lives looked that simple...but of course we would all need that wifi...giggle!
I think I remember brownies from a C.S. Lewis book . . .?
how cute!! actually adorable...
