Quarantine Day 55: Online Puzzles, Bike Riding & French Bread

By
Today was a pretty uneventful (aka normal quarantine) day. Naomi woke up and went into the office and did her work. She did not have a google meeting today, just google classroom assignments. Juliet was up looking at photos on the iPad of when she was a baby. JP got up and made breakfast. I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I took my time getting up. We ate breakfast and then walked Pip. I had a department meeting after and JP had to head in to Natick. The girls once they finished breakfast found an online puzzle website, well actually I showed it to Juliet, and her and Noami did many puzzles for most of the morning. One of the fan favorites is anything that had to do with Frozen! I like this size because you can find puzzles of all different sizes and number of pieces. Good for all levels!

Once I was done with my meeting and they were done with lunch, they went outside on their bikes. And were out there until dinner. JP finished up at the lab and went over to Home Depot to get a few things for a project. We're home so much and feel like we should be doing all these home improvement project, but not sure where to begin. So we thought a 'easy' project would be a good place. We (I) want to put a pergola above the garage so that our grape vine can climb up the side of the house and along the pergola. So JP got wood to practice making the brackets for this.

While he was out there cutting away, I was inside making dinner. I decided that I would try to make bread using my bread machine again. It hasn't turned out so great the last few times, but I read a few tips on things to tweak and took another stab. This time I decided to try a french bread recipe. French bread requires water and whipped egg whites for liquid. And it came out perfect! So crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle! Unfortunately I didn't time it right so it wasn't done until we were all upstairs in our PJ's reading book!

After dinner we walked Pip and the girls both rode their 2 wheelers on the walk! Juliet is getting really comfy on the green bike! Then we brought the plants in so they don't freeze tonight as its supposed to get down to mid 30s! And headed up to get ready for bed!!

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...
