Public schools in our county started today so we, as the homeschool rebels we are, decided to celebrate with a Not-back-to-school breakfast and party. While kids around the county were packing lunches and backpacks and heading into classrooms for a days worth of introductions, new teachers, new books, new classmates... our kids were having a tremendous potluck breakfast in their pajamas, watching a few cartoons followed by slip-and-slide water fun outside.
While parents all over the county were sloughing their kids off to school, rushing them out of the house, sitting in carpool lines, possibly even fretting over forgotten lunches... we were chatting over coffee with the sound of happy kids in the background, taking our time with nowhere to rush off to. It was great fun and a couple of moms even donned pajamas to join in the festivities. I'd suggest though that if you are one of those kind of moms, before you head out in curlers, you check the car for gas the night before lest you find yourself half way to your destination pumping gas in jammies and fuzzy pink slippers... don't ask where this advice comes from, but trust me, it's good advice.

Some of us ex-teachers are celebrating the same "holiday," but not necessarily for the same reasons that you and the boys celebrated.
My sister was looking for curlers!!!!
I will have to ask her about this -- I know she attended the Pajama Party.
