COVID-19 Week #2

Goody package delivered to our door from good friends

The current state of the hockey rink. The ground is finally thawing enough so we can almost get the stakes out of the ground to break down the boards.

A nice hike on a gorgeous day.

Luke's latest desert...graham cracker, marshmallow, chocolate chip cookie bar

Sleepover with all the boys and stuffed animals

Bike ride on a chilly but sunny day

Luke found the glasses on our hike

We just completed week #2 of quarantine here.  On Friday, the Governor of MN announced that we will be practicing a shelter in place so we won't be leaving the house except for groceries or other important errands.

We have had some ups and downs being at home all day everyday, but thankfully we are all healthy and happy (most of the time).  We have done many hikes, walks, and runs to burn energy.  We purchased a new bike so we could all ride together, a larger pair of rollerblades so Luke can get his skating in, new shoes for Aiden, and a bigger bike (from Aiden when he got Liam's bike and Liam received a new bike).  We are making the most of outdoor activities near our house.

On Monday, things will change a bit for us as we will begin the distance learning.  We have been doing things for the last two weeks that were primarily organized by me with the help of a few ideas from the teachers.  From here on out, we have lesson plans!  Very thankful for a plan!!  Luke and Liam will be using their chrome books to access plans on a daily basis while Aiden will use his iPad and Google meetings with his teachers.  Finn will mostly rely on me, but we have lots of worksheets, things to read, and a meetings with his teacher on a daily basis.  It will be a busy month!

We hope each of you is staying healthy as well!
