Making the Best of Things

As of Tuesday evening, Mommy and Daddy have officially been working from home. We haven’t left the house, other than to walk Jovie, or play in the yard, and no one has been able to come over.
We are trying to make the best of “homeschooling” and you can imagine that with two parents that are teachers, there is plenty to do. You know Mommy, despite of it all, she keeps taking pictures...
Setting up the "classroom"




Hayden enjoyed breakfast with Daddy in the "bar".


Working diligently.


Daddy set me up on a math website, of course.


Practicing sight words with some "rainbow writing".


Concentrating.




Mommy brought home some of her personal learning materials.


It's a good thing that she saved those file folder games from when she
taught Kindergarten.

There were a few setbacks. It is, after all, a new learning curve.


Mommy made a meme to go along with this picture. This quote is from a
document that she had to sign from the district.


Here is another meme that she saw online and found amusing.


We did manage to get in a two mile run yesterday.


Hayden is still enjoying "lego club" and insisted that we send his club
teacher a picture.


Bedhead and chocolate mouth from his donut.


Today we enjoyed lunch outside.







Popsicles don't go bad, right?




Hayden made a "long toenail" from the Popsicle wrapper.


Another day of learning. Daddy set up the math website for Hayden too.


Mommy made organized notebooks with reading and technology logs.
Always the teacher!


Hayden passed the "ten frame" lesson,


Hayden's teacher had a "Zoom Chat" with her class.
Hayden was so happy!






The notebooks are ready for another day of "homeschooling"....
on Monday! :-)

Oma and Opa Visit

Oma and Opa were here for a visit recently. We loved our time with them and took LOTS of pictures
We happened to stop by Harris Teeter one day after school and saw the
Oscar Meyer "Wienermobile".


We even got to go inside.






Reading to Opa.


Movie/snuggle time!


Enjoying a walk in the neighborhood with Oma.






I finally got to use my "birthday coupon" from Oma and Opa and
bought a vet kit for my dogs.







We did lots of puzzles and played lots of card games with Oma.






We went to the White Water center and walked the "Lake Loop" trail.


It was very pretty!













Walking makes you hungry! Of course we had to make spaetzle!


Jovie loved hanging out with Opa on the couch.


Opa made his chicken stroganoff to each with the spaetzle.






Reading to Opa again.





We had a little "photo shoot" with Oma and Opa....



















Oma made us these pillows while they were visiting.

We always love when they come to visit and miss them lots when they leave!
