Playing Hooky

Shhh….We played hooky from school yesterday. Oh, my son still did a little bit of school-work. He finished reading a library book he picked up two days ago. He is supposed to read everyday for at least 30 minutes. He just did that in the car.

My husband needed to go out of town for some business. We decided to tag along. Hey, we were getting a free lunch and we needed the break! It was glorious and we felt free and lighthearted. We enjoyed seeing the autumn colors on the trees. We enjoyed the crisp air. We enjoyed the classroom that Mother Nature has provided and not the one in our home.

Oh, we still have a spelling and vocabulary test to do. We’ll do those sometime today and leave the rest for next week. Sometimes the best learning that you can do is to simply walk away and come back to it a little later. It is refreshing for the mind and soul. I’m glad we homeschool and can do that!
