3.20.20 (Friday):
k was able to do a basketball training through her club basketball program.
We did takeout from Panda Express. (They are offering the Family Feast for $20, which is a good deal!) I have been sending D out to pick up our take-out food because he actually likes to get out of the house.
k attended a youth group meeting by using an app called Discord. (Millennials and Gen Z definitely seem to have an advantage in being able to use technology to keep in contact with each other. Our small group is still trying to figure things out-ha!)
We watched The Princess Bride. (The kids had never seen this movie before, even though we own it on DVD!)
3.21.20 (Saturday):
More gardening and cleaning. Still walking to the park. n and I played ping pong on the kitchen table (He had been asking for a while, and I finally had the time!) We watched a faith-based movie called Catching Faith 2. (Some parts were cringe-y, some parts were funny, and some parts were touching).
3.22.20 (Sunday):
We viewed our online church service. D and the kids did a hike at Peters Canyon.
I baked Breakfast Cookies using this recipe.
We did takeout pizza from Fresh Brothers. (I heard that pizza is one of the safer take-out options these days since it is heated, and placed directly in the box).
We watched Max 2. It was pretty entertaining as family movies go.
3.23.20 (Monday):
The kids officially started their “online distance learning”. n’s teacher was on it, and had several assignments already lined up. His teacher also dropped off some of his notebooks and books to another classmate, who then delivered them to our house.
k’s teachers sent e-mails throughout the day. This week they are doing district-wide lessons, and next week they will start with individual classroom assignments.
We decided we should wake up by 7 a.m., and start schoolwork by 8 a.m. We are also making sure to change our clothes instead of sitting around in our pajamas all day. n did not finish his schoolwork until around 2:30, but that was with plenty of breaks.
In the evening, I walked while n rode his bike and k rode a scooter. We also decided that we are only going to watch movies on the weekend now. Instead, we watched a couple of episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives via our free Hulu subscription.
