| Naomi working! |
JP got up and made his long commute down the hall to sign in to work. Naomi was up early and she got dressed in a very pretty dress and went down stairs. I know it was pretty because she came in and asked me to button the dress and I groggily complied.
Naomi had her school video chat lessons at 9:30 so she was first up to use the laptop that we are all sharing. Juliet has been less than excited about doing her school morning meeting at 9:30 each day so I don't push it. If she wants to do it we do it, but so far most mornings she hasn't wanted to do it.
Today while Naomi got going with her work and video chat Juliet and I did Wizard of Oz cosmic yoga in our bedroom so we wouldn't disturb Naomi. Juliet was very excited about it and I tried to do some of the moves with her. Once 9:40 rolled around I went down to get the laptop from Naomi, who was just finishing up. And log into my first video chat with my Digital Art & Animation class. Naomi went upstairs to do yoga with Juliet.
Today I wanted to just check in with the kids, see how they are doing and catch up. We played the game Just One for a bit of fun, although it seemed like some of them were a bit sleepy still! Then I explained what the weeks work was. I'm trying to make it simple and easy and low stress as I don't know where every kid is at mentally, emotionally and physically with this school closure quarantine stuff we're all dealing with. So for the first week I talked about how artist take this time to create great works to deal with and show case what we are going through and also help us get through this. The kids have to find great works of art that have come about due to this situation. Here are some of the works they found. Here is another classes. |
| Math practice! |
Dad made lunch today, toasted PB & J! And we ate out on the front porch as it was sunny and warm. It's supposed to rain the next few days so the more we can be outside the better!! After lunch the kids did the rest of their work for the day. Naomi did her google classroom work and Juliet watched her video from Ms. Stephanie and then did some math facts by rolling dice and then adding them together.
The girls played nicely all day today. This allowed me to have my afternoon classes. Once class was over we walked Pip around the block and then we had a celebration. One of Naomi's classmates birthday was today. One of the parents organized a parade of cars to drive by her house. When we got there the firetruck had just started the parade blowing its sirens. We all drove by her house and waved and said happy birthday! Naomi had a sign for her. It was fun. But driving for me was really uncomfortable. It was the first time that I drove since surgery and I hated every second of it. It was painful. I had to rest a bit once we got home for a bit.

Once JP was done with work we turned on the news to see if there were any updates on COVID or anything we should know. Nothing new, just stuff about how now we need to be wearing a mask whenever we go out and how to make your own and what material to make it out of and how to properly wear it. All stuff I've seen on the internet....
After the news we went down and made dinner together while the kids played pokemon. We made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, a fan favorite at our house. The kids had a tub after dinner and I hopped on a conference call school committee meeting. And everyone could hear the kids giggling and squealing at the meeting!! JP had to go close the door to the bathroom so we couldn't hear them!!
After the meeting we had an after-meeting-meeting social call with the school committee peeps. It was again nice to have a social visit with adults and just have a glass of wine and schmooze and complain and laugh.
