For us, it was a refrigerator/sick cat combination... the refrigerator died and Peanut, one of our older cats, was very ill and had to go to the vet. Top all that with the fact that I had to work night-shift, and school was just not going to work the way I wanted it too! I am not complaining, just trying to illustrate the type of day we were having...
Thank God for Granny! In the rush to get a lot done in little time, I printed off some worksheets for the girls to do at Jeff's mom's house while i took the cat 45 minutes away to the vet's office. It may not have been the type of school I had planned for the day, but Mikayla and Susannah really enjoyed "school-work time" at Granny's house!

The activities I printed were from http://www.nickjr.com/ and fall/Halloween-themed, so they were not related to our curriculum at all. The one the girls enjoyed the most involved taking a pumpkin and matching the shapes for eyes, nose, and mouth with parts that were cut out. Mikayla has known all her shapes for a long while, but Susannah is still learning them. She really enjoyed the coloring pages too. There was also a connect-the-dot exercise that had Mikayla counting higher than usual.

I am learning to be thankful for the occasional interruption!
