“Spring Break is for parents to catch up on their work and for kids to catch up on their playing.”

We decided to take a homeschooling “Spring Break” since we are going on a trip this week. The darlings are not doing any schoolwork and Anna was confused that Mama and Papa were so busy working even though it was Spring Break.  We told her we needed to finish all of our work so that we could go on our trip.  That’s when she came up with this quote.

Here are some clues that it’s time to stop working and spend some time with your darlings.

• You’re on the couch typing away and your daughter climbs up on your shoulders, puts her head next to yours and watches you as you “work”.
• Daughter asks, “Papa, what is ffffp? (PHP)
• The nail in the coffin: Daugher sticks handy object (book, doll, plate of food) in front of computer screen so you can’t see the computer anymore.
