Fall Break!

As scheduled, this is our fall break.  Unlike the public school, and more poor step-daughter, who only get Friday off for Fall Break, we are taking the whole week.  I guess God really wants me to rest, because I woke up this morning feeling horrible with a flu of some sort.  Congestion, ear ache, coughing, watery eyes... the whole nine yards seem to have hit me.  I probably wouldn't have been very productive trying to homeschool anyway.  If I have to be ill, this would be the week.  I hope to improve quickly though so that I can enjoy the break.

Laura and Megan spent the day doing little.  Megan watched the television that I haven't been letting her watch a whole lot of.  I did pop in an Adventures in Odyssey so that it wasn't a complete "brain turning to mush" endeavor. 

Laura was content to help wait on me and to play outside in the brisk autumn air.  She is usually such a self-content child.  She doesn't often need to be entertained.  She is quite capable of finding her own entertainment when she is on ion own.  She has developed quite a rich imagination.  I attribute part of that to having time on her own, with her own thoughts, without constant peer influence.

I am looking forward to a relaxing fall break.
