Our Simple Life

Back to School

Since we don't take summers off from school we just take breaks throughout the year as we need them. They're not usually planned except in the case of the weeks before and after Christmas. Well, we've just finished an unplanned week and a half break. I have been focusing on our home; organizing and simplifying a LOT so I just decided it was a good time for time off. The weather has been fabulous so M and J have been outside more and I've taken them to a park almost every day in the afternoon.

Speaking of which, I guess they have been doing "school". Autumn changes teach a lot about science. Geese have been flying overhead in their migrating "V"; squirrels have been busy collecting acorns so they can eat throughout the winter; leaves on M and J's favorite climbing trees are changing beautifully and then dropping to the ground. :)

Anyway, today we'll start back having organized school in addition to "real life" school.
