We were supposed to homeschool

yesterday afternoon. But, it was so nice outside, with the sun shining and no wind at all. I suggested to the kids to go play outside for a while. A few moments turned into over three hours! They were having so much fun, enjoying the sun and fresh air, the sliding, the running, making snowmen, playing with each other and the cats. I just could not ask them to come back inside to finish our schooling.

When they came back inside, they were exausted. It was almost time for dinner and all they wanted to do was put their pj's on and read a book. So, they did.

I envy the freedom they get with our lifestyle. They do not always realise it but they have what many children would love to have. I know, I talked to a friend recently and she says her son tells her often how my daughter is so lucky to be homeschooling. How he would love to be too. Yes, she is thinking about it :) I sure hope she decides to do it, it would be so much fun to have someone close to me homeschool. I could teach her kids English and she could teach math to mine :D
