Life during lockdown

We've done lots of hanging around at the house lately...much like everyone else in the country.  The kids school was out for originally 2 weeks and now it is out until May 1st.  I wouldn't be surprised if they don't go  back at all before next year.  That will be sad because I love most of their teachers this year.  And this is Sadie's last year in elementary school!  I can only imagine how hard this is on those students who are seniors in high school! 

Our schedule usually consists of school work in the morning, and playing in the afternoon. 

Zac has been so good with his sisters.  He will snuggle with Finley, set up obstacle courses and other surprises with Sadie for the younger kids and he is working on being able to do 10 pull ups.  

I also introduced the kids to speed scrabble and they love it!  Especially the older two.  We play it almost every night when the younger kids are in bed.  

This girl's life has been turned upside down.  She got used to having mom all to herself for a few hours each day, but now with all the kids home and mom trying to run back and forth trying to help them all with their school work she finds ways to pass the time.  ha ha.  This is her masterpiece she drew on the wall in dry erase.  I thought it would just wipe right off, but nope.  It's still there.  I can't get it off!  

This picture is for one of Zac's assignments.  He had to use the word unimportant in a sentence and then submit a picture that went with his sentence.  He said something like "toilet paper is unimportant during an earthquake."  ha ha.
