Another Lovely Benefit Of Homeschooling

Like many of you we have been having some unusually warm weather for our area this time of year.
No complaints here!

I couldn't possibly keep my kids couped up in the house to do math, reading, science, blah blah blah...

so I sent them into the vitamin D filled outdoors to get their play on.  As the day progressed I started to feel a little guilty: 'I know they should come in and get some schooling done, but it's too nice out!'  I was a little conflicted.  One day turned into two, the temperature just kept right on rising...

Then reality set in.

'Why am I worried about this??  Public and private schools give their kids vacation time...why can't I?'

Thus prompted another wonderful, joyful benefit of being a homeschooling family:

WE don't have to pre-schedule our vacations...WE can take them whenever we like....like when the weather hits 80 DEGREES in the freakin' middle of MARCH!! Wahoooey!!

And boy did we :)

Of course, we didn't do nothing.  That week my kids learned to garden with my hubby (he took a few days off from work to spend with us) and I learned to just relax and enjoy my family....

...and hang my clothes out on the line of course :)
