School, schmool

Posted in Schooling

We school year-round, so I feel no guilt in announcing random vacation days. Yesterday, the boys and I worked on our bedrooms. I don't know why, but my bedroom has always been the "junk room"...you know the room where you put things you don't know where else to put? The mending that needs doing, the pictures that are supposed to be in albums, the odd sock, the fabric scraps from the sewing marathon two weeks ago, the present for a nephew's birthday next week...that room.  No more! My room is no longer a dumping ground.  I spend a lot of time in there...I should like being in there. The boys' room is also much improved, but it is hard to keep 50+ books, a rock collection, a metal detector, the largest paper airplane collection in the world, clothing, etc., neat and tidy in a small room.  Well, my room is tidy, now, so I won't feel like a hypocrite when I'm after the boys to pick up their room...

 

No school today, either.  We ran to the post office and walmart this morning.  While in Walmart, we decided to make a fall wreath to hang on the front of the house.  We had so much fun picking out just the right colored flowers and ribbons!  We're planning on assembling our masterpiece this afternoon, and we're going to do it in a non-permanent fashion, so that we can change out the decorations for each season.  It will be a fun project, and a lovely way to welcome people coming through the front door.  Maybe today should be considered a school day!

Sounds like you all had a wonderful day. I love Fall and all that it brings. Cool, crisp air and all the wonderful colors of the leaves as they change. Your wreath sounds beautiful.
