• No Beach? No Problem!

  This morning after watching the trouble the boys were having sitting still, I shooed them out the door and told them to take a break.  When I thought their break had been long enough, I went to call them in and found Jeremy sunning himself in the middle of the yard.  I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was sunning himself.

  

  I looked a little further and found the instigator of this new activity.   Even though we only have two boys, he had pulled eight beach towels out of the cupboard and told me that he planned to do the rest of his schoolwork outside.  Then the begging began.  We compromised and I joined them on their towels and we had our history lesson in the yard.

  

  I think the next lesson of the day needs to be how to wash, fold and put towels away.  Or should I let them leave them in a pile so they can do the same thing tomorrow?  I really don't want to wash that many towels two days in a row.
