Week 1

Week 1 of social distancing, self-quarantine, whatever you want to call it - DONE!

The week was fine. We made a schedule first thing Monday morning and followed it pretty faithfully all week. Our kids love a schedule and a routine so a schedule is what works best for us.


It was a challenge all being together all day long. Rob started upstairs but ended up moving into the basement. Which has been completely torn up for the most part.



Legos have been HUGE for passing the time.


We also do some writing practice - making books or working on some of the worksheets teachers had sent home.



We got outside as much as we could but it was kind of crummy weather this week!



On a really rainy day we got creative with our exercise.


Kasper had a Zoom date with his buddies Friday. This is what really made me sad - the kids might not see another kid in person for weeks. They are both so social and love school. I know it's hard on them.


Rob and I spent a large majority of the weekend painting the basement ceiling and walls. It's a big job! The kids got out for a long bike ride today but mostly spent the weekend on screens and with Legos. It's important that we all get some breaks after constant together time.




Of course Marlo "helped" Rob while he was working downstairs. Masks were because of the drywall mud dust being kicked up.





Painting on the wall before it gets covered up.






Here we go week 2. Maybe the homeschool curriculum will touch on Van Gogh's little-known Eden Prairie period? Hope everyone had a great weekend and is safe and healthy!
