This past week was our fall break, and let me tell you, we enjoyed it. Once I got the 1st quarter grades recorded, that was it for school! We stayed up late and slept even later. The kids and I watched movies, played games, and spent a good deal of time outside. I never took so many naps in my adult life as I took this week. I should have been working on a few things, but resting and relaxing is what a break is supposed to be about, and I took full advantage of that.
However, we did finish the new mural on the chalkboard wall! This was the first time trying silhouettes. I think I like drawing/coloring by erasing! 
With the week off now over, I hope the kids are ready to get back to our regular schedule for they may need to motivate me. I so enjoyed my break from lesson planning and teaching.
I hope you had a terrific week and that you’re enjoying the weekend.

Love seeing all the creativity on your wall!
Thanks!
Your wall looks great. That scarecrow would scare away crows LOL! I am glad you enjoyed your break.
Blessings, Dawn
Thanks Dawn. My J thought we should have a scare crow like we did last fall. We didn’t intend to have it so scary, it’s just how it turned out. A friend said that it would scare her if she happened to be walking into the kitchen for a late night drink of water w/o turning on the light. So instead of “scarecrow”, we have renamed it after our friend. It’s now a “scaredebbie”!
Love your chalkboard wall. I think fall is meant for napping and staying up late and sleeping in late. Don’t you?
I found you at Homeschool Mother’s Journal.
I would like to invite you to join my Saturday link up as well. It’s called, “This Week…” It is a homeschool week in review link up.
I would love for you to join in.
Thanks for visiting my blog Renee! Thanks for the invite, too. I’ll check it out!
I’m glad you were able to rest, relax, and recharge! The chalk board mural is fantastic as always! Thanks for sharing at FF!
Rest and relax – yeah, but recharge – not so much. I totally ran out of steam around 4:00 this afternoon and had to lay down before finishing cooking supper!
