Thursday was our theme day and quite honestly, I'm tired and burnt out! So we didn't exactly have a crazy theme day where we did lots of stuff related to one particular learning activity. What we ended up doing was a (partial) spa day. The kids wanted to paint their nails, and do a tub and face mask and all that. We ended up only doing the nail painting portion of all that. We painted toe nails and finger nails and put on finger & toe tattoos. While we watched we listened to Harry Potter Chapter 7 & Chapter 8. After all that was done it was lunch time. So we made lunch and then as the weather was cloudy and raining off and on, we ended up watching a few movies. First it was Hotel Transylvania 3, then How to Train Your Dragon 3. I went up and took a nap during the second movie! Then JP made dinner and we ate and then watched the new Scooby Do movie, Scoob! It was cute. Apparently they are doing a whole Hannah Barbera Cinematic Universe! So many nostalgic thoughts when watching these old cartoons with the kids! And then it was right to bed!! JP and I then spoke with Uncle Dave for a while about how to buy a house and gave him some tips and feedback on his potential offer for the house in the Catskills. And then we went to sleep.
Friday was another lazy morning. Naomi and I were lazy bones and got up around 8:30. She and I showered and we all then walked Pip. As there isn't much stuff in the house in terms of breakfast foods at the moment, we then made apple sauce muffins for breakfast. While we can't go out and fill up our zero waste containers anymore, we are now coming down to the bare bones of the cupboard! No more cereal, beans, dried fruit, trail mix, etc. We're going to have to make a BJ's run soon! This whole quarantine, germs thing is bad for zero waste and plastic free people like us! Bad for the planet too!
JP and I did work for most of the day while the kids occupied themselves. Naomi had her Spanish tutor from 11-12 and I had a department meeting then, Juliet made awesome wearable art and sculptures and JP worked upstairs and did laundry. Once my meeting was over Juliet came in asking where Naomi was. I said I didn't know. We looked all over the house, as it was time for lunch, around 1:00 and she was no where to be found. We assumed she was outside. Juliet went outside looking for her, then came in with no luck and ate lunch. Finally around 3 when we still couldn't find her, we asked the neighbors, if they had seen her. Well it turns out that she was in the basement with the iPad watching tv shows the whole time! I was getting scared that she had been taken! Eve told me to call the police too. But we found her with none of those horrible things all safe and sound in the basement, in the dark, in the kids tent...
We spend the rest of the afternoon outside. Naomi on her scooter, Juliet actually inside with the iPad on a play date with a friend from school she hasn't seen in 2 months. The chicks were free ranging in the grass and grammy showed up! JP came out with his guitar and played a bit. When Grammy left we sat for a bit more outside until around 5 when JP had to go into Natick to fix something at work.
The girls and I made waffles for dinner - a double batch because we have no breakfast food in the house at the moment! And watched Pinocchio while we ate!
