This week was Fire Safety Day Camp, a free service that is a Godsend to homeschoolers like me, needing to fullfill the PA state regulation that I teach my kids fire safety. I mean, of course I teach my kids when and how to dial 911, why NOT to play with matches, and stop, drop and roll.
But Fire Safety Day Camp? What a tailor-made opportunity to rack up a few free school hours and beef up the portfolio!
Except, we're not morning people. These three days of camp are going to take a serious toll on us. This morning we were up at 7:30 (brutal), at camp by 9:00 (arduous), and had to pay attention for 3 hours (strenuous). And we have to do it three days in a row (unthinkable)! After camp, it was a stop to have lunch with Daddy; forays at 1, 2, 3, 4 stores; and a visit with Grandma.
Though there was lots of complaining from various factions throughout the day, Regina was a real trooper. Her only problem was that she never had a chance to take that solid nap she so strongly requires.
Finally, after 8 hours out and about, we landed safely back in our crib. (This is why we don't participate in many homeschool field trips. A two-hour day camp turned into a three-hour camp, which turned into an all-day affair). We headed straight for my room, which boasts both AC and television, and rested while we cooled off. Now we're waiting for Regina to wake up so we can hit the pool before it closes.
Hmmm.
We may be waiting a while.

Baby's first Robeez. We chose brown because she's on the verge of crawling, standing and walking. Hopefully the dirt and scuffs won't show so much.
