Spring Break Week of Awesomeness

I have been looking soooo forward to Spring Break this year.  After days and days of snow this winter I got in my head that I wanted to homeschool M1.  Not that the snow days made me crazy and I've officially lost my mind, but it just reinforced the idea that I wanted to be part of her education.  I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education and I taught in the public school system for several years.  Well, I've started this post about Spring Break and now I've gotten onto my homeschooling soapbox.  Back to Spring Break....we had an awesome week with M1 home.  Doug wanted to take her to Chicago to the American Girl Doll store but we decided to head down to Atlanta and make it a family trip instead.  We started our Spring Break watching Doug complete a 1/2 marathon which is ridiculous because he can do 13 miles without even training!!!  We headed to the American Girl Doll store, she and Doug spent time with his parents for a day, we went roller skating, 4-wheeling, had picnics in the park and on our farm, playdates and sleepovers, S'mores in the driveway over our fire pit and the grand finale was finding a sickly calf on our farm to literally "nurse" back to health.  Well, we gave him a bottle of milk (specially formulated milk for baby calves) and hope for the best.  We've had so much fun!!  Back to the homeschooling issue...this week made me realize how much stuff we could do during the day if she were homeschooled.  My wheels are certainly turning :)
