Week 4

Water balloon fights!
Bubble jumping!

I was informed he likes to snuggle.

Still enjoying Super Charged Science!

DNA extraction experiment
Hoping I can keep these little guys alive.
Kale!

Although my weeks feel similar to what they did before the stay at home order, I am starting to get worn out.

We should have taken a week off school by now and I am feeling it.

Since there is nowhere to go I decided to wait and not take time off but I am definitely starting to feel the effects of no break.

 

Week 3

Some days it feels like nothing has changed for us and that world has not changed overnight.

Then little things pop up, like neighbors talking to each other from their own driveways, and trying to make sure we stay on the other side of the road from them.

People home during the day.

Not being able to easily buy certain things, like soap.

I am very thankful for our yard these days.

I decided to try for a group shot this week.

At first I thought, I don’t want to try to get a dog and 5 kids to cooperate but then I realized he was perfect to get all of my kids engaged.

 

Little Bit always asks for more pics.

Maybe a bit TOO much love for the dog…

He is teaching her how to type!

It is the sweetest thing.

This week, Super Charged Science was all about chemistry and the girls were way more into it then the astronomy classes.

She does not always say what the experiments will be but tells you what you need to make it.

I kept saying I was in NO WAY making slime…

We made slime…

 

I love how he takes notes.

The shed is now in it’s spot!

We went for a hike Saturday at the Keystone Mountain biking trail!

We only saw a couple of people while on the trail and made sure we stayed away.

It was nice to get out for a bit though.

Are you able to get out at all where you are?

Week 2

I took this last Friday but thought it was an appropriate way to start my week 2 of being house bound…
Nick built me two raised beds in the last week!
He also has been moving the shed across the yard all this week (whenever the rain lets him)!
We enjoyed more Super Charged Science again this week.
The lessons were about astronomy and the girls had trouble listening but they still enjoyed the experiments.
There has been frog and lizard catching.
And lots of outside time.
I have been using this time to practice my photography more.
It helps me to look for beautiful moments when it seems dark and stressful.
The girls practiced tree climbing while the guys moved the shed.
I also used this time to do one of my twins hair. Little sister is next!

The news is draining right now and I felt tense this week. Hoping for a better week next week. Hoping you and your family are safe and have dirt to play in.
