First day back after a long break

Today was our first day of school after a 3 + week break! Break was so nice! It was a bit hard to get in gear this morning....



The "plan" was to wake up about 6:30, I woke up at 7:00. The girls 7:30. The "plan" was to start at 8:00. Reality... we started at 9:00. The plan was to have Bible, Math, grammar, Spelling and science done by lunch. Reality, bible, math and science were done by lunch. The "plan" was to be finished with Spanish, History, world view, and literature by 2:00. Reality, we still need to finish spanish and Rylees history reading. It is now 7:30 pm. *Ü*

The day went nothing like I invisioned... but then, most days do not.... Nothing was accomplished as planed.... it will and is getting done. *Ü* Was not stressful in anyway, but... it would have been nice to stick to the plan.

But....

A little excitment for the week.... we will get to spend the day in Seattle enjoying our first play of the New year at The Seattle Childrens theater. We will see the Never Ending Story

After that we will go and re-visit The Seattle Science Center.

Hope your first day back was a good one... our was... just not how I planned it! *Ü*

Ok... here is my project! lol Im laughing because, when I went out to the garage to take the picture... My husband asked what I took a picture of and why when I came back in... I told him... then he said..." Its just like you... always having to jump from the tallest diving board first!" *Ü* Hmmm what did he mean by that? lol
