Only 3 more days until we pack the car and we're off, over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go! DH can't take off from work, but since I'm off while the pool is drained and resurfaced, I'm taking the boys to the north woods. I'm looking forward to getting away from our summer doorbell, but I'll miss DH tons! I wonder if the boys will go through friend withdrawal or be too distracted to notice.
I hope they enjoy exploring the woods around Grandpa's house and fishing on his boat. I hope the drive goes well. It will be a long ride for us. I'm packing the books on CD and portable DVD player.
I need this trip to reconnect with my boys. They've spent so much time playing with PS friends. When we get back, they'll have one last weekend and then school starts. That means our Heavensville Homeschool can get back to longer days rather than shorter ones. I've always viewed our homeschool being 24/7, 365 days a year. Learning doesn't just happen between the hours of 8-3:30, Monday through Friday. But our style of learning at home changes when friends are over. There's a group dynamic. When its just us, the peer pressure influence is gone and the boys have more freedom in their choices. I'm looking forward to getting back to that.
