We're Lovin' It

Wednesdays are usually a busy day here at our house. Busy in one way and relaxing in another.

Strange, I know.

It's our "co-op" day. The day our kiddos get to go to a place with lots of other homeschooling kiddos to have four hours of learning bliss away from me.

I'm kid-free for four whole hours!

They actually really enjoy it, too, because it gives them a chance to be with other kids and learn lots of fun things.

This semester we've been hanging out with another homeschooling mom and her homeschooling kiddos. We usually try to figure out something fun to do after co-op since we all enjoy being together.

This week we decided we needed to go somewhere for a sanity break. The weather has been cold and wet so the kids are full of Spring fever and energy. (If you think the four hours of fun school stuff wears them out...think again.)

So we wracked our brains and came up with....McDonald's.

There's one nearby the church where the co-op is held....and it has a Playland.

Of course, the playland is OUTSIDE...and it was rather cool and dampish.

(But never say kids aren't resilient.)

After inhaling their "Happy Meals" and guzzling down their drinks, they raced outside and played for the next 3 hours (almost). They got wet feet and damp behinds from the puddles on the slides and other open spots. But the rain held off and they played on...

And we mommies got our much-needed sanity break.
