Quarantine Day 74 & 75

By
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. The kids watched tv & played video games until almost 1pm! JP and I had a lazy morning and then got up and made breakfast for the crew.

It was cloudy and over cast and cool so we didn't spend the morning outside. We played with the chicks later on in the afternoon and cleaned out their bin. I began to refinish the table we have on our deck and the kids played in the neighborhood. We made chicken tacos for dinner and the kids gobbled them up!

Today was a crazy day with me having to teach and the girls playing outside in the hot 85 degree sun. We took a break at lunch to play with the chicks in the shade and then it was back to work for JP and I. Once work was over, JP mowed the lawn and Naomi and I tried to get a rope into a tall branch by swinging the end with a wrench attached to it up to the tree. We finally got the branch but the wrench didn't weigh enough to come down once it was up in the tree! We were able to pull it down from the other end but this didn't help us get the rope wrapped around the branch. We were trying to hang up the swing we have that the kids use in the basement and the one tree branch that will work is very high up! We also were using rope that was way too thin. So next trip out to the hardware store we'll get better rope and maybe use a heavier item to swing it! Stay tuned!

JP and I made dinner after that while the kids took a tub. They were so dirty! I went up to check on them 45 minutes later and the tub water was cloudy just form the dirt on their bodies! Ugh, it was gross. So we drained the tub and soaped and shampooed. And then it was time for dinner. After dinner we took Pip for a walk. The kids scootered as we walked. It was so nice out this evening. Then bed!

The evening ended with JP watching the Phish concert while I did some work. Tomorrow I'll be going in to NHS to print the graduation programs and award certificates. JP took the day off to watch the kids while I'm in Needham. The plan is to set up the old slip n slide if it's hot out again tomorrow!

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...
