It's hard to believe that 8 weeks have already passed since we started school. I know some people are just starting but we're almost ready for a Fall break! Oh, Fall! I love Fall! It's my very favorite time of the year. The crisp chill in the air (which has yet to reach us, I might add), the beautiful colors of the leaves falling to the ground, the football games and candy apples! Oh, so many wonderful experiences to enjoy for us all.
I try to point out these changes in weather and nature to my children as much as I can. This is for their benefit as well as my own. I find that so many times I can rush through life and find that I've missed so much of life. I love our school days and I'm trying to make them less stressful for us all. I'm trying to have fun, do wonderful nature projects, and just enjoy the art of learning. Miss Mason has been teaching me this and I'm trying to put in into practical applications. I'll let you know how I do!
But I urge you, as you venture into this new season, look for the things and experiences that make Fall different from any other time. Explore those and come up with some of your favorite fall activities or observations. This will make your children, as well as yourself, take time to explore all that God has created and be appreciative! Happy Fall!

It is SO hard to slow down and smell the roses - or whatever is around to smell in the fall! I've trimmed our schedule down, but I still find myself rushing through our daily schedule...so hard to stop myself, but we have so much more fun when I chill out and ENJOY my sweet ones.
ReplyDeleteLoving Fall. It is our favorite too. Our schooling is slowing down as we enjoy the ever so slight cooling in the air. The high today was 89 degrees. But, we know Fall is coming.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings.
