Day 1

So much has happened recently. And at seemed like there was a lot to post about and also absolutely nothing to post about, so I took awhile to get around to it. We'd been hearing a lot about the coronavirus and how it was affecting China and it got to the US pretty fast. Pretty quickly things started getting pushed back and eventually cancelled and school was cancelled for 3 weeks (so far...), and Pat started working from home. The kids were excited to have extra time off but soon realized it wasn't going to be the normal adventurous Spring Break they would usually get. We started out the first day or two seeing some friends but now we're at the point of no contact with anyone, unless we need to go to the grocery store. The kids are doing a good job keeping their spirits up though! I make short lists of things for them to do during the day (duolingo, math activity, recorder/violin practice, dance/soccer) in between a lot of screen time. We try to get outside a decent amount too, even though most of the days have been cold.

Our yard is still messed up from when they fixed the gas lines and Griffin likes to sit right in the mud.

We went to the park with the Salays

Paige dealt with some chilly temperatures so Griffin could sit by an open window

I only allowed outdoor activities with friends at one point so the boys played a board game outside

Recorder practice

Griffin is getting a lot of attention!
