Good Day Sunshine

Last weekend was gorgeous.  After a long winter with way too much rain for a mom of four to handle, it was so nice to finally see the sun, get outside, and enjoy ourselves.  After the boys finished up their individual work, we ran a billion errands.  Exhausted, I unloaded the groceries, fed everyone lunch, put the baby to bed, and decided that I needed to find a way to spend the rest of the day outdoors.  So, I left the lectures and lessons I had planned for tomorrow, and we hit the yard for some hands-on education.  Asa and Ivey worked on collecting worms for a compost bin.  Asa put dirt, food scraps, worms, and a little water into a formula can, poked holes in the top, and put it in a dark place so the worms can get to work.  Asa finished up the day by reading a book, and Addison sat outside and read for the entire afternoon.  It turned a crazy errand-running day into a relaxing, enjoyable one!
