I recently read about celebrating a 'Not Back to School Day'. Since we homeschool we don't have to have to follow a strict calendar, so this is a great way to celebrate that. So when all of the other kids in our area went off for the first day of school, we hit the road and had a great day! Here's what we did all day!
First we joined a few of our friends for a play date and made an apple craft while enjoying all kinds of apple yummy-ness. We then enjoyed lunch with a friend for her birthday.
My plan was to allow Elie to have such an awesome day - even allowing her to skip her nap. On the way home from lunch, she had other plans. Her typical 3 hour nap turned into a 10 minute cap nap in the car. This gave her a second wind for having friends over!
In the afternoon, a group of our good friends came over to play for a while. We had a great time running around at the park.
They climbed and climbed and climbed.
Then they all made dinner with dirt! We even had stone soup.
Once our friends left, Elie rode her bike for a while.
While Elie rode her bike, I checked the mail and look what came in!
Look what was on one of the first few pages.
So this is how we spend our 1st 'Not Back to School' Day.
