School Lunch

I made a deliberate decision on Sunday to let some things go during Spring Break. I wasn't going to make my kids do daily jobs, I was going to plan a fun activity every day and I wasn't going to sweat the small stuff (ie: messes, fights, etc). I'm trying.
Enoch and Kate were playing school this morning. Apparently Kate attends a cardboard boat building school because that is what Professor Enoch was teaching. They had their boxes, tape and scissors and were putting together some boats. At about 11:30, I called them to lunch. "But, Mom, we are still at school," whined Enoch. Okay, I'll play along. I packed all three kids lunches for them to eat at school (in Kate's room).

Why don't I do things like this more. You would have thought I had given them the moon. They had so much fun eating and talking (no fighting or arguing!). WOW! Can we play school everyday? Gavin even conducted a mock fire drill after lunch was over. And then - Gavin cleaned up Kate's entire room. Yes, cleaned her entire room. WOW again! I have great kids.
