Works for Me Wednesday....Having fun

Yes, having fun works for me. (Go here for other WFMW tips.) Seriously. I see so many parents, homeschoolers even, just trudging through the day, getting by and taking no fun or enjoyment out of it. Homeschooling, in particular, need not be dreary and dull. I want my children to remember that mom made their childhoods fun and eventful.

To that end I try as often as I can to have fun activities based on the holidays. If you were around for Christmas you know that every day was something fun.

I thought about skipping St. Patrick's day because I just didn't think there much fun to be had, but I'm ever so glad we didn't. I miss doing the fun Easter activities, because frankly, all those pinks and purples are beautiful. Hiding and hunting eggs is just fun. (I've been asked what we don't celebrate...we don't celebrate secular Easter. We focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and leave ALL the trappings behind.) So I'm having Easter, the way the world celebrates, a few weeks early, and calling it Spring Break.

So life should be fun; especially childhood. Have some today. Fun that is...not a child...although if you are pregnant and nearing your due date, I encourage you to go ahead and have that child. Or in the case of women trying to get pregnant, get pregnant, that would be like having a child. But don't steal one, that is especially what I was talking about not doing.

Moving on...

After our treasure hunt, (I think I called it a scavenger hunt, but I think really it's a treasure hunt, so excuse me for being wrong...and write it down, cause I NEVER am.) leading to some really cute headbands, we will make some rainbow jello for church tonight. Then we will make a Blarney Stone, although not really necessary as my girls already have the gift of gab.

NOW go have some fun!
