A Birthday Holiday

Today we celebrated our oldest daughter’s tenth birthday. So we had a holiday from homeschooling, just doing minimal chores, and spent the day having fun instead. We went to a movie, played at a local jump zone, had cupcakes and Chinese food, and opened presents. I think this is one of the joys of homeschool. When it’s special occasions, you can take off from your routine and enjoy the time even if it’s not a national holiday. Then pick-up the next day where you left off without worrying about missed lessons or catching up.
