"When the weather fails you,
just change your plans!" (A wise proverb from a South Carolina philosopher! :-) Today was supposed to be warmer, but when it dipped to 27 last night. . .I had a feeling we would not be going to this zoo today with some friends. I knew the boys were disappointed (Why did I say anything to them in the first place?!), and I really was not in the mood to plan a school day. Instead we had a "Fun Day" at school complete with an educational movie about pioneers,
stories,
painting,
cookie baking,
and games.
In the end, it was a great school day for the boys, and as a South Carolina philosopher once said, "When parents interact positively with their kids, it makes just about anything exciting."

There are two BIG smiles behind those cookies! (And Daddy probably smiled when he saw them, too!) How blessed are the little boys with a Mommy who figures out how to turn disappointment into something fun -- and educational! -- Much love to all of you!

Looks like lots of fun! There's more to learning than sticking a nose in a book all the time! Your boys are learning lots of different things.

The SC philosopher is nothing but a misplaced Yank! :-)
