Silence is Golden

Our first day back to school after a too long/not long enough vacation (did that make sense?). I couldn't resist taking this picture as they were all hard at work and there was no bickering or arguing going on at the moment. Something rather rare around the school table. I used to have a teacher who would say "Silence is Golden" when she wanted us to quiet down. I think she was a music teacher? I relish that saying now - since it happens so infrequently.

We did manage to make it through just about everything by 3:00 a bit late for us but we're slightly behind in a couple things so I tried to do some doubling up. Monday's are good days as we usually have nothing else going on. Tuesdays we go swimming, JT has speech, plus Dad is home so we make it a light day doing just the basics. Wednesday isn't bad but we do have church in the evening. Thursdays the boys have Quiz practice in the evening, and Friday we don't do school because it's Dad's other day off and we use it for errands, inventory scouting and whatever is needed for that day.

So we're back to our "normal" routine. J was asking if it was summer yet? Gotta love them!
