Not Back to School Picnic!

Last week we met up with one of our homeschooling groups for a "Not Back to School Picnic." We all get together and enjoy the park in the beginning of the school year, which is far less crowded now that most kids are back in school.

It's a wonderful experience to wake up in the morning and not have to rush around waking sleeping children, packing lunches, and rushing them off to school. We are fortunate enough to get up and go at our own pace in the mornings.

All of the parents usually have a smile on their face at some point, the kind of smile that we all recognize. It's the smile that says "This is nice!"

It definitely is not without challenge, and some days  think it would be so much easier to ship them off for 8+ hours a day. But truthfully, I don't think it would be easier at all!

Look at how unfortunate these weird, sad, and unsocialized children appear! ;)

I am so grateful for our network of homeschoolers!
