Afterschooling: Weekly Wrap Up #4

My children went back to school this week. The joy of sleeping in for the past two weeks didn't affect them one bit. They were ready to go back, I love how they enjoy school! We were able to still do some work at home. I have to admit this is my favorite part of my day. Listening about their day, and sharing some quality time while working, and playing together. Our arrangement with school and working at home fits my family so perfectly.
