Tonight's challenge was to draw and paint a chair while answering questions about factoring, multiples, pronouns, and antecedants. (This was bound to happen if my sketching time coincided with homework hour, as it did today.) My son was a good sport about the distracted nature of my help, and I was using the pattern of interruptions as an excuse to fool around, loosen up and be less fussy.
What a funny way to handle the homework hour, wish I'd have been drawing when mine were young. On the other hand, I have trouble getting into the drawing, if I can't fully concentrate.
