One of the reasons I love to home schooling is the flexibility it gives us.   Our youngest is spending the afternoon working at the ranch.  He is doing some chores and will come home tired, sweaty and HAPPY.   He was created for work and loves all kinds of manual labor.   The ranch is giving him skills that he can use his whole life.   A good work ethic, animal care, fencing, pasture care, weed control and  moving hay bales.....lots and lots of hay bales.   =)  He was able to get half his school done this morning and will finish the rest after a snack, shower and dinner.   He is such a blessing to us; all winter he keeps our wood stove going and in the spring transitions to mowing the lawn.   ~Not too bad for an almost 12 year old!  
Dinner tonight is Taco's with home made salsa, guacamole and a big salad.   I have started making my own taco seasoning.  It has no added MSG or sugar and we all LOVE it.
