Quarantine: Tues. 4/21
The Lego work continues, but instead of organizing, the kids are now just playing with the Lego Friends characters--the latest in quarantine rediscoveries. Those Lego bins hadn't been touched in months, and now the kids are begging for more time to play. They took Legos outside, had Legos with them at the dinner table, and were continuing to quietly arrange things while I read to them at bedtime. So now we've had Playmobil and Lego resurgences. What'll be next?
Dinner tonight was fried tofu with peanut butter sauce, coconut rice, and broccoli. I managed to get an Amazon Fresh delivery slot for tomorrow night to replenish our milk and a few other things ("a few other things" to the tune of $200, of course, because spending ungodly amounts of money on groceries is required during quarantine). The delivery window is 10pm to midnight. Which means we could very well be out on the porch disinfecting groceries at midnight. Cool, cool. It'll be worth it because in that order are two containers of onion and bacon dip.
Homeschool grueled along today. Both kids had technical problems--a website that was down for Greta, reading assignments that had no login info for Lucia. But otherwise we got through it.
Lucia was over the moon tonight because the next two School for Good and Evil books finally arrived. We may not see her tomorrow, although her intense desire to read these new books is complicated by her intense desire to keep playing with Legos. (You know what she doesn't want to do tomorrow? Watch Khan Academy math videos. Or a half-hour Google slideshow of her teacher explaining how to create a story arc diagram in a Google slide.)
The pics today illustrate 1) the Lego chaos, and 2) Farrah's preferred perch. Remember that Andrew DIDN'T EVEN REALLY WANT A DOG, and now look.
