Yes, we are having a holiday! No school, specifically. But my eyes are opened to see all of the learning that naturally takes place at home. Because this isn't one of a few scheduled holidays, we aren't rushing into filling the day with together time. As homeschool provides opportunity to have much together time, we have decided to spend our day of together time just being us!
We began our morning with a 3 mile bike ride. Yes, that arrangement of the donut shop and park in the middle sure make for a great break! No, we didn't choose to go into detail about the dog droppings we found at the base of the slide, or the God-provided Mrs. Tonya to help with our frustrated Toddler, or the construction worker with the miracle wrench to solve the frustrated Toddler...well, he fixed the loosened training wheels, of course! Rather, we are thinking and writing of sewing;;;what else!
Our favorite second-hand shop is also along the path. And Student and I have been eyeing fabric to go together for a local Christmas project for Foster Children in the area. Looking to have 900 quilts donated for Christmas gifts, we are ready with our fabric!
Student is looking to make a small quilt, her first self-lead quilt. And with our other circus fabric and flannel, we plan to include a message of strength and courage as The Lord our God is with us wherever we go...to parallell the images of lion tamers and such from the ol' circus days. So, we'll see if we can turn these fabrics into projects for our next Final Friday!
