Activities during the era of that-which-I-refuse-to-name:
Well, obviously there's the school thing. The picture immediately below is how things look when I do people's hair and wipe off the table. It is, of course, the exception. Homeschooling has slowly but surely deteriorated over time. If I had thought to take pictures I would have provided you a before and after.

But can they eat CEREAL while learning at school? |
Packet exchanges. For the first part of everything it was kind of fun. Then it wasn't.
Piano festival in the home of their teacher. I still made them dress up.
Church at home. Tyler made them prepare talks and do musical numbers, which was surprisingly touching and awesome. A-plus parenting, hon!
|
To me, this expression says "don't you EVEN." |
Puzzles. I have realized I have a short puzzle attention span. This one took one million hours but it was such a good one and made me feel like a great appreciator of the arts.
|
Don't be fooled Caroline's presence in the picture, she did NOTHING. |
Hiking and exploring.
|
Thunderbird Garden trailhead, where we ran along the hilltops "like Sonic." |
|
Red Cliffs. |
|
First time we got this far (out of three times). Ridiculously beautiful. |
|
The petroglyphs at Parowan Gap. |
|
Red Hollow. Oh, how they hated it. |
Playing with work-from-home Dad.
|
This is basketball but they also played Ninja-Dad, which I will write about another time. |
Not wearing make-up. Staying in pajamas all day.
Snuggling and movie-watching. Currently finishing the third Indiana Jones (will not bother with the fourth).
Walking. This was one in the rain which was kind of awesome. As for me, I have walked and walked and walked. Not like
the pioneer children, but more like the mom that really needs to get out of the house alone.
And this. A remodel and shifting around of little people. Girls will get their own rooms (they got to pick their paint color), boys will share a great big, super cool room.
|
People actually stood on that board and did stuff while I stared in horror. |
I write as drywall dust settles on me and everything we own.
That's it, people! I think in total, these activities add up to about seven hours of the last two years of social distancing.
