Monday, March 16 - A little Coronavirus humor because if I don't laugh, I cry! :)
Tuesday, March 17 - The teachers got two work days to get ready for online learning so my kids took full advantage of their two impromptu days off. We call this "The School of Olaf". Disney, a company that I LOVE anyway, put Frozen II on the Disney Plus channel several months ahead of when they planned as a way to help the kids feel a little more comfortable with the situation going on right now. We were so excited about that!
Wednesday, March 18 - When it rains, it pours! We were shook awake this morning by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake! The epicenter was in Magna (which dad said was insane!). I have always been terrified of earthquakes and I have the strangest feeling when we have one; like my blood turns ice cold running through me! We've had over a hundred aftershocks today as well, the two on that picture, we felt very strongly. Yikes!
Ricki, of course, woke up with a goopy eye so hopefully that clears up on its own because I do not want to go to a doctor right now! And...since we are home and not really doing normal things, we all forgot that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day until at least lunchtime. We deferred our fun until this morning and had green pancakes. :) Then, it was right on to the homeschooling! The kids were little rock stars! They all just did what needed to be done, asked questions when needed, and they were all four finished with all their schoolwork by 12:30! I think I may like this home school thing!
Thursday, March 19 - Despite all the restrictions, we are doing our annual Girl's Tea Party so mom came over and got her nails done with blue tips and snowflakes. When she left, both Kendra and Ricki suddenly needed to get their nails done. I did blue sparkle tips on Kendra and Ricki requested pink & orange nails. I didn't take a picture of that! :)
Friday, March 20 - I have been so pleased with all of my kiddos during this trying time! They all go outside and play together, they play games together, and they even sit and help each other on their school work. They are surpassing all of my expectations and making this an oddly pleasant experience. It's a good thing because I don't really see this social distancing ending anytime soon!
Saturday, March 21 - Mom threw the best Tea Party yet! The theme was "Frozen II" and it was so so so much fun! The house was all decked out in snowflakes, blue and purple decor, and all the food was on theme. The little girls looked beautiful and we just had a blast being there together and enjoying each other's company. We watched "Frozen II" while we ate Frozen-flavored ice cream Frozen cookies. Best day ever!!
Sunday, March 22 - After we did church at home, we called Dave and Viv to see what they were up to. We needed some fresh air so we went for a little nature walk up Yellow Fork Canyon. It was beautiful up there and although there were a lot of cars in the parking lot, we didn't run into too many people. When we got home, we had a yummy fondue dinner (which Nick has been requesting since before his birthday). It really has been a good weekend despite everything going on in the world!
