Distance learning has begun due to the COVID19 pandemic.
We are out of school until May 5th but have heard indications that it will last until the end of the school year!
How sad will that be?
Here is Chester's painting.
I had them pick something in the yard and paint it.
I think he did just great here. He was doubting himself.
I asked him if he was super good at football when he first got on a team.
Well, why do you think you need to be good the first time you try something?
Since being dismissed from school it has been raining, cloudy and just cold here. This was a welcome day in the sun.
I still got it!
We have been taking daily walks. I send the middle 2 out on a "tiktok walk" . haha
They leave, they get outside, they make weird videos, they bond and then come home and report their creation to me :)
It's a win for both parties!
I'm so glad I have the kids at home.
There is nothing more important for me to do then to be an anchor right now.
There is a nice 3.5 mile walk through our neighborhood and the closed golf course, so that has been so nice.
Here is that 2nd day of sun we had :)
My friend Holli shared how her kids wrote messages in their neighborhood, so we copied the idea!
It turned out cheerful.
That was our intent, to bring cheer to our neighbors.
Audrey said she saw someone take a picture of it on their walk :)
It washed away with last weeks rain :(
It could turn into a Charlotte's Web thing though?
Last week's cloudy day Home Economics lesson was donut making by Dad!
We realized we couldn't share them due to the virus, so we ate all of them and gained a couple of pounds :0
haha
Henry has a music system called ableton and he has been creating some really cool stuff!
My birthday came and went. Here I am on my 4th birthday.
(I have been going through rooms and closets organizing as my version of mom homeschooling!)
Birthday Love!
We went to a bakery/ lunch spot near Clay's work :)
how I feel
me at 49
salad dinner with blackened salmon :)
My cake!
the day after for breakfast :)
The sun came out and it was about 60...and I jokingly said, you guys should swim in the jacuzzi!
No time was wasted in finding swimsuits, haha.
it looks warm but it was freeeezing
taunting their teenage brother
warming up after some of them got in.
Chester did like 4 cannon balls!
crazy
In all of this craziness, we still continue to fulfill our church callings. I have been sending all of the primary children handwritten notes.
And I got one back!
He happens to be a favorite of mine. He is a great young man in the making :)
We fasted today for worldwide relief from the corona virus. We each had different things on our mind. We got a call this morning that Grandma in Alaska is in the hospital as well :(
So we have been thinking of her and fasting her for too.
It was a special time to have the sacrament in our home.
This might be my favorite church yet!
We shared our testimonies. And some tears.
Lucy's testimony centered on reading the scriptures and discovering how important they really are to her.
Henry talked about how it's been nice to have a break from all the hurrying around and busyness of people.
He has been at peace this whole time with himself:)
Audrey shared her feelings about how she knows God has a plan for each of us. That she learned that before we moved here.
Chester tearfully spoke about how the Holy Ghost has been a comforter to him. He told us he has had good thoughts and memories replace sad ones so he has been happy.
Clay shared many thoughts about how God will make these trials for our benefit.
I shared about faith and moving forward.
I am immensely grateful right now for this time of growth.
Co Captain signing off for now...
