Last week was Winter Break around here.  We go about 6 or 7 weeks on and then take a week off.

So Mama can breathe.  And kids can be kids.

We all like this routine very much.

Blesses me to watch and see what they find to fill these vacation days.  It’s a little taste of unschooling that makes me smile.

Thankful…
