Because Sometimes You Have to Close the Books To Learn {Giveaway Winner Annouced}


013

Something always happens in May.
My brain is done with school.
Problem is...we're not actually "done" with school.
So I have to get creative.
And by creative I mean closing the books and breaking out the flip-flops.

Hot humid Tennessee weather and a pollen covered truck were just the excuse I needed to play hooky.
I decided that instead of just turning on the hose and letting them have at it, I would teach them the proper steps to washing a car.
You know, the whole start at the top and work your way down, work in sections, rinse immediately, tires and wheels and bug guts in the grill last thing.

004

I think this falls under Life Skills.
Or Home Economics.
Or something.

016

Heck, I don't even care.
All I know is that while I was soaking up some much needed Vitamin D, my kids were learning.
How to take instructions.
How to follow through with them.
How to plan and delegate.
How to have patience with others.
How to pull their weight for the sake of others.
How to work together as a team to accomplish a task.

Because sometimes you have to close the books to learn.
