With the kids finishing school online, we had to learn to make adjustments, just as the schools and teachers did. Bucko didn't have any assignments on Monday and the younger kids school would send assignments only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, giving them two days to finish assignments. This helped a ton. The older kids all handled their own assignments, but with Shortcake, I needed to be there to help her. We often ended up using the iPad or my phone for her assignments. It was a lot of work and the kids are SO glad to be done. Bucko took his last final for an independent study class on Friday. Of course, Tink is now taking a summer class online--her last prerequisite for dental hygiene school. For teacher appreciation week, the kids drew pictures for their teachers. Shortcake had to draw a lot of pictures for different assignments, which was fine because she and Goofy had been watching a lot of how to draw videos online and spending hours just drawing together.
The school tried to do a spirit week, but the only day any of us participated was PJ day!
I snapped some candid photos while they were doing schoolwork one day.
Wendy's picnic at home!
Even just going to pick up Shortcake's new glasses was a treat as they got to get out of the house! (Though we didn't even get out of the car! We called when we arrived, and they brought them down to us!)
We did gel stain on our upstairs build in bookcases. There were a lot of books on those shelves!
I absolutely love how it turned out though! I've been getting the last of the rooms painted as well.
PC, Bucko, Rosie, and I hiked section 16 one day. We were so proud of Rosie doing it! It's a 3.8 mile loop.
A few of my friends and I have been doing a study of Christ for the past couple of months as well. One of us would pick the topic for the week, then we would spend the week studying that topic and then discuss through Zoom on Wednesday afternoons. It was so uplifting. I just love these women and loved studying in a different way.
Lots of meeting up with friends outside to just talk, 6 feet apart of course. ;)
May the 4th be with you! We watched Star Wars and Rosie dressed up as a Storm Trooper and Darth Vader during the movie.
