Colin wanted to make ice cream over the school break, so we did – chocolate cookies & cream. Yum!

The weather was much better this time! It is so good for the kids to just get out and play.

I still think this light be the best purchase we made in 2020. For Colin it has been a daily activity center that has helped him, and the rest of us, get through all of these months stuck at home.

We tried a new recipe Friday night – tomato soup served with mussels that are baked with a cheesy breadcrumb topping. Cliff did a great job making them!

Walking on the beach counts as exercise, and we’re allowed to go out as a family now. It’s a shame last week’s gorgeous spring weather has disappeared, though.

If you are going to do a volcano, why not add a LEGO scene? Colin had fun making the scenes and creating all the stories that went with the characters.

Some days the stuffy friends are also home schooled. Most of them are reading non-fiction books, so as to be properly educated.

Thursday it was 21 degrees! I went from running in long sleeves 2 weeks ago to a tank top! We are not required to mask when doing exercise that causes us to breathe heavily (e.g. running) but are required to have a face covering with us in case we stop or walk, etc. it feels a little weird to wear a tank top and a neck gaiter together, but it’s the easiest way to have it handy!

It’s a geography lesson (world map) and entertainment all in one.
