Sometimes things get in the way and you learn SOOO much more!

We got an unexpected opportunity to add some little critters to our family this morning!

Freddy - The Daddy

Bernard - The Son

Lessons and plans for the day went out the window in lieu of learning all that we could about how to care for these little guys. We have had hamsters before, but not gerbils so we spent hours acquiring as much information as we could. During our search we discussed many other things - from geography of where these critters come from to logically discerning contradicting resources. The beauty of home education is never knowing where your day will take you and having the flexibility to YES whenever we want to!
