Yesterday I woke up to the sound of rain. It was a cold and dreary Friday. The perfect day to stay home. Annie did not go to school. We didn't do school (well, Audrey worked on her Faces of History paper.) We did things around the house (some Spring cleaning, some laundry, some cooking.) We practiced piano, played with Play-Doh, and watched TV. Soccer was cancelled. I let Audrey skip ballet. I kept thinking how lucky we were to just take this day to relax, especially with our busy weekend coming up. Freedom like this is one of my favorite things about our homeschooling journey. We're not taking a full week off for Spring Break, so a day off here and there is a nice alternative. Especially days where we can snuggle in our PJs.
