The First Day of School

Our first day of school this year was not a grand event... in fact it just happened to be a day when Hudson was feeling a little under the weather... and outside play would not be great idea...
So we started...

On the floor of my bedroom... with a map to color and a dry erase book to trace in...
The simplicity was refreshing... there was no wining about about a "special project" gone wrong... and I did not hear "Do I have too?" once.  Not a single Pinterest idea in sight.
And it was beautiful and peaceful... It was relaxed and interesting... just as I hope the rest of the year will be.
