Beautiful Weather Equals Unproductive Momma

Thursdays tend to be slightly off days in our homeschooling family. I attend a mid-morning yoga class that's timing pretty much interrupts the entire morning. So typically, I wake the kids. We have breakfast together before I head to the gym. Then I expect them to do some independent work while I am gone. By the time I arrive home, it's lunchtime. We eat then usually buckle right down to the rest of our school day. Today, however, the weather has other plans. It's a balmy 70 degrees in our midwestern city. The sun shining. There is a springtime breeze blowing. Thus, after lunch, my fourteen year old offered to take the dog on a lengthy walk. And the other kids are playing in the backyard. My plan was to give them fifteen minutes, but it's slowly turning into something a bit longer. We do need to turn our attention to the rest of our work, but this weather is making it quite difficult! I believe spring fever just hit us!
