TA-DAA !

We had our (second?) annual End Of The Year Homeschool Party yesterday, out at a friend's farm.

8 moms
9 girls
12 boys
4 hours
Lots and lots of fun and laughter,
and only
1 "FDGB" (fall down go boom).

Funniest moment of the day: all the moms sitting around the patio talking, and the kids playing behind the barn. One boy came running up for a drink of water, then stopped and addressed us all, with his hands spread out in front of him,

"Just so you know, we're playing a game that involves a whole lot of yelling. But everyone is having fun."

Fabulous. Thanks for the heads up. Because with 21 kids yelling at the same time, it can be hard to tell.

But on to my little ankle-biters...
