Quarantine Day 20: Lots of Math, April Fools & Virtual Stuffies with Grammy

This week has been going pretty slow. But we made it to Wednesday! Today the kids got up and did some yoga while JP and I were stuck in traffic and got down to the kitchen a bit late!  ;)

This morning we spent the majority of the morning playing academic games. Juliet watched her videos that Ms. Stephanie posted on lessons for her to do and Naomi and I played Rummikub, Memory math with multiplication, and Mobi. Then Juliet joined in on the math fun with her math section of the workbook Grammy got her. After lots and lots of math this morning we took a break before making lunch and the kids disappeared for a bit together. Little did we know they were off making April Fools pranks for us to find around the house. They made several spiders and hid them in the kitchen cabinets! When we went to open up those cabinets they sprang out at us! Too cute!

After lunch we played a few rounds of Dominion and did some puzzles. Then we played stuffies. After a bit of stuffy playing we decided to call Grammy to see if she wanted to virtually play stuffies with us! And she did! The girls played with Grammy for quite some time!!

 After stuffies mom gave in and let the kids play the Wii for a bit before dinner. We've been really good about not watching tv or playing video games or iPad games during 'school days' but as this is day 20 of this seemingly endless quarantine things are going to get a bit more lax as the weeks go on. Plus it was LEGO Harry Potter and it requires quite a bit of thinking and problem solving to play this game!!  :)

Then it was the typical evening routine: dinner, games, pajamas, teeth brushing, reading (a chapter of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), and bed.

Phish released a new album tonight so JP and I watched the live stream debut of it before diving back into our MCU journey. Tonights movie: Black Panther

Quarantine Day 24: Technology, Fixing Old Things, Long Walks, Family Game Night

By
Charles River by our old house! Sunday. This morning the kids got up before us and headed downstairs to watch some Batman cartoon episodes from the 90s that JP got for them. Naomi (& Juliet sort of) has been reading the three Batman comics that we got from Park Street Books that have Spanish on the sides and in some of the frames. One of the great things about technology, or at least the technology in our house, is that we can cast stuff from our phone to the TV in the family room and our bedroom. So while JP and I were just getting up and dressed, he cast the Sunday school stream from the temple. This of course interrupted the Batman cartoon. I peaked my head out the bedroom door and heard..."but we were watching Batman!" The Sunday school songs and chat from the Rabbi's today was about Passover as it is this coming Wednesday evening. After the morning service 45 minutes later there was a zoom session with the Rabbi's to have more of a conversation and so...

Quarantine Day 69: meetings, biking, digging for fossils

By
Today was a typical quarantine day. We got up. Walked Pip. Made breakfast. And then JP and I got to working while the kids played outside. It was a gorgeous day. The kids went on a fossil expedition digging up rocks in my front flower bed. They apparently promised to leave the flowerbeds as they found them. But that’s not what happened. Then they played in the hose as it was hot out! The rest of the afternoon was spent playing with the kids in the neighborhood. In the evening we walked Pip and went over to the neighbors that was hatching Chickens. He’s going to let us foster a few of them for the next few weeks. Hopefully this will move us forward with us getting our own chickens! So after the chick visit we went out and got a few things to raise them. A heat lamp, a water bottle, sawdust flakes and chick food. Tomorrow we pick up the chicks. Then dinner, books and bed for the kids. And school Committee Meeting for mom.

Quarantine Day 31: More landscaping and Easter Sunday

By
Signs of spring Easter Sunday. This morning the kids got up at the same time, around 7:30 and they went down and watched some TV and played some video games. I got up and made some breakfast for the gang and then we headed outside. It was almost 60 degrees today. The girls helped me move some of the plants around in our front flower beds. We moved 2 daisy plants, 2 echinacea plants, and 3 day lilies. The side of the house had nothing in the beds there, so we moved 5 plants there. Hopefully the plants make it!!! Then we did a general clean up of the beds. Juliet got a bit bored and went and helped JP dig out weeds for a bit. Then they went and practiced riding bikes. Juliet is a bit timid on her bike with training wheels but she took the bike for a spin around the neighborhood for a bit. Naomi seeing her decided she wanted to ride for a bit too, so she went off and rode her bike around the neighborhood chasing Jules. She's' still learning how to use the gears on her new bike...
