Ever since our school system decided to close schools for the week (cause with families going awol early on long vacations, the schools lost too much money) this has become my favorite week with my family.
Beause it's not long and hairy like Christmas break or the when-will-it-end Summer Break, Thanksgiving week is perfect.
While I know we should be packing it in to travel somewhere hip and exotic...I kinda like being able to enjoy the nothingness of the week.
And I do mean nothing. Daily we get up and stay in our jammies till noon or even (I know) the next day. (that's a great day). We eat when we feel like it, snack when we feel like it, shower when Mom says, "You smell."
Best part: No rushing to school, no driving to a zillion practices, no playdates, no missed appointments, and my personal favorite; no homework. It's a chance to be together and remember how much we love each other and relax in our own home, play with toys we had to have but never touched, open that paint kit we forgot we had, have 'game night' five days in a row...and talk and laugh and just hang out as a family.
Ahhh....
Then just at the point when I begin to pull at my hair and wonder who raised my children to be so annoying....it's time to go back to school. Everyone agrees it's was a great HOME vacation! And the timing? What a perfect break!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
