Homeschooling Side Effect, My House is a Classroom!

Throughout the week it builds: piles of paper, unfinished projects, pencil shavings, books and... cups? Yes, they are on every surface! I't the homeschooling side effect. I like to use part of Friday to tidy so we don't spend our whole weekend, as a family, just cleaning up. I need a fresh palette so I can be peaceful and clear when planning the next weeks curriculum. Halloween needs to be put away, laundry caught up, floors vacuumed and all the other piles sorted and organized. It's raining in the Shire today. Perfect, music goes on, cinnamon-apple sausage cookin', fall color paintin' and wrappin' up the classroom!
