Help me!

Does anyone out there have any brilliant suggestions for homeschooling two kids (one in kindergarden and one in first grade) when you are home alone and breast feeding a five month old?  My original thought was that I would school while he napped, but the kid is against napping.  I find that my goal of prioritizing the girls' school and taking care of a needy infant seem to be at odds!  I do know that part of my struggle has to do with my own expectations.  Somewhere in my brain, I'm still planning my school day as though I don't have an infant who doesn't nap consistently.  Harry had to remind me today that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result each time.  Hmmm..... Got me there!   Well, at least I got that off my chest!  

Readings for today:
Genesis 18:1-15
Aesop's Fables--The Fox and the Grapes.  

Spanish--review of greetings, introductions, color words and vowels.  The girls actually did some reading in spanish today!  It was very exciting.

Art- studied The Four Continents by Jan van Kessel

Activity- feeding the ducks at Tower Grove Park

Movie- Fly Me to the Moon. This movie actually sparked some interest in the Apollo 11 mission, gravity, etc.  Did Russia put a man on the moon?  I actually don't know.  Tomorrow....
