One of the benefits we enjoy as a homeschooling family is that on those rare and special occasions when family or friends come to visit, we are able to schedule our "breaks" to coincide. This flexibility served us well this past month of March when Auntie Erinn came to visit for three weeks! :)
This means that during that time we did not follow the "plans," yet the beauty is that since educational opportunities abound while traveling, creating artwork, listening to music, and playing--we really never took a break from "school" itself. However, since we did not follow our "plans," I will not be reporting on our little students' March progress and activities.
April is off to a great beginning here--inside and out. Today we savored the unusual delight of a day with the temperature at sixty degrees Fahrenheit! We rarely saw that temperature all of last SUMMER season, so it was a WELCOME TREAT! The daffodils are in their glory right now--gazillions of them everywhere, chasing the crocuses, and ushering in the beautiful blooming season. The sun arose in our sky at 6:30 AM and set at 7:30 PM. This alone is enough to put a dreamy smile on one's face--no really, after the "dark" months with the sun up at 8:00 AM and setting by 3:50 PM this REALLY puts a smile on one's face. I'm sure we will not have any more nice, warm days for a while, but I am thankful for THIS one.
