A Winning Dog's Breakfast

Definition of dog's breakfast: a confused mixture.  Even though Liam made sure that we stuck to our home school schedule closely, a dog's breakfast describes today perfectly.

From crafting pirate ships and playing dress up




 to bun baking.




From sap collecting


to math worksheets (Liam loves these!).


From making maple taffy on the snow in our front yard



to a dinner of farm raised lamb burgers topped with our own kimchi on our freshly baked buns.




In hindsight it is amazing that we fit such variety into our day but it seems that following a schedule is working for us.  We were extremely productive (even with afternoon naps), there was minimal bickering and everyone had an enjoyable and busy day.  As an added bonus, all three boys went to bed happy, with full bellies, and were sound asleep by 7:30 pm.  I call this particular dog's breakfast a winner!
