Suncatchers

Oh how our backyard sparkles in the sunshine now. Some pics of the 130+ cd's that we made into suncatchers on our 'mental health' day (just a fancy phrase for playing hookey) lol

Thanks Andrew & Lorraine for donating to the cause. We love them!

What We Did Today...

Today is a school day.

However...

We skipped school today :)

Remember the poem I posted earlier? The one about spending more time with your kids?

It was a good day!

We made suncatchers for our yard, went to a homeschool potluck with some good friends, met up with some old friends, came home, made some hummus and homemade chewy pretzels and then zonked out on the couch cuddled up to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I think every homeschooling family needs one of these days every once in a while. I'm glad I got that poem today.

Take some advice from me. Go give your kid a hug and tell them how much they mean to you. They aren't going to be living at home forever and these days are just passing by too quickly.
