Coronavirus Quarantine Week 5

After a nice weekend celebrating Easter, it was back to another week of homeschool.  To add to the mix, my work really ramped up what we needed to put out for our students so the week was spent on one zoom call after another trying to figure out how to implement all the new changes.  But, first, my new rug came for the deck and we enjoyed some warmer weather sitting on the deck!

Okay, back to the work/school week!  We had mold growing on some of the bread from our hygiene experiment a while back so the kids updated their journals with their findings!  They also enjoyed some math games, coding on the chromebook, and creating their own Pokemon cards on a website my friend told us about!











This week we taught the boys how to play Monopoly and Sean kicked our butts twice! 


I attempted haircuts with the boys at home using clippers and scissors while watching a youtube tutorial.  They didn't turn out so bad, but boy was it stressful.  I wish they'd just let me buzz their hair for the time being.

Evan and I baked some of our favorite cookies that may or may not have contributed to my 3 lb gain throughout this quarantine!  Yikes!  They were tasty though!



Our only outings were a grocery store run where we spent a small fortune and to one of the middle schools for a food distribution. 



It pains me to say this, but we had some lousy weather most of the week.  Two different days where we saw snow flurries had us all pretty down in the dumps.  But, we still managed to exercise in the house and get outside when we could.





We ended the week with a birthday zoom call to Nana with Scott's entire family and we let the boys build an epic fort in the living room so they could have a sleepover.  They stayed up watching the first half of Groundhog's Day before they got bored and switched to a Marvel movie. 



Other memorable things from this week were blasting mariachi music during our Taco Tuesday dinner, grilling steaks on our only nice evening, the kids building Legos, receiving a care package from a good friend, snuggling on the couch to watch Marvel movies in chronological order with Scott, a zoom call with work friends for fun, and Disney Singalong night on TV!









On to another week!
