Today has been quiet a day already!
We've been reading Apologia's Zoology 3 book and are in the part about snakes, crocodiles, and other such "scary" animals. We also have been talking about keeping the kittens and little dogs in the house because of coyotes. Well, yesterday, before dark, I heard a pack of coyotes across the road and told the kids to make sure Cleo stayed inside. At that point, N heard me and decided that it was time to bring the little dogs in too.
This morning at 3:00am, he woke up screaming about coyotes getting the cats and dogs. He finally drifted off just in time for the girls alarm to go off for them to watch the eclipse. Because I was upstairs with N, I stayed up with the girls and finally woke Z up so he could look too. (My intention was the sleep while they observed from their windows)
Yes, there were some clouds. However, the clouds gave us time to work on making breakfast - cinnamon rolls! The kids were able to see the turquoise ring around the moon and the clouds cleared enough for them to see totality.
That was the cool part of the morning.
2 weeks ago today, Craig discovered a litter of 4 kittens, at most 4 weeks old, in the middle of the road. He had to stop; he couldn't go around them; and no Mama was in the area (dead or alive). So, we rescued 4 little kittens. 3 of the kittens have started to do better. They are eating solid food but simply LOVE the kitten milk we've been supplementing with. However, one little kitten just isn't thriving and that one didn't survive the night.
So, this morning, after the sun came up, we had a small funeral for the baby kitten and buried her outside. We were extra careful to cover the spot with bricks so the coyotes won't dig her up.
It's now 10:30 in the morning and we've almost had a full day. School work today? Nope. We've watched a movie and are now watching some episodes of their favorite TV shows. Me - I'm taking the time to relax and do some genealogy research.
