Distractions and Life and Learning

Hi Friends! I decided to share our goings-on today because this is just how it goes when homeschooling. Some days, I wake up early and make a plan.  I was very pleased with my plan this morning. And then kittens showed up on our porch.  5 puffy, cute, mewing kittens. It was then that I realized my plans were flying out the window. Gone with the wind. Down the drain. It became an all-out nature viewing spectacle.  It began with this little guy last week, then we had another kitten show up yesterday.  When we peeked out the window this morning, we spotted 3 more kittens and the mama.  We were hooked. National Geographic on our front porch. Okay...I could either give up on homeschooling for the day (very tempting)   --or--   Switch gears and turn this into a learning experience that still counts as a homeschool day. That sounded like more work for me, but then I wouldn't have the homeschool mom guilt of missing anot...
