The last thing a homeschool mom wants to do on a Sunday afternoon

As I was preparing our summer school lesson plans for the week, Anna and John Caden came running up to me and announced, "Mommy, we are going to 'play' school.  We will be the children and we need you to pretend that you're our teacher."  I'm sure my face must have turned green---considering that I am their teacher five days a week, "pretending" to be their teacher on my day "off" just didn't seem like such an appealing nor a novel idea to me.  We ended up playing ball instead. :)
