Thursday highlights under quarantine

Ajax said the highlight of his day was doing three consecutive loops around the neighborhoods in about 30 minutes. He said he’s going to try for four next and keep building from there. We say awesome goal buddy. Noomi’s currently in bed but I’m going to guess that her favorite part of the day was getting a letter from her friend, Cora, who just moved into our neighborhood. The neighborhood kids have been exchanging letters and putting them into each other’s mailboxes. Everyone has gotten a kick out of it.

The kids did their scheduled activities of journaling, math, typing, a little online learning, and reading. We squeezed in a few walks with Husker who is now passed out for the night.

I had to run up to the office for the rest of my supplies and now have a near full set up in our bedroom. We’re making this work from home thing work. We’re making this homeschooling thing work. Heck we’re trying to make it all work.

Oh the U.S. has now exceeded China in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, making it number one in the world, with over 85,000 cases. The state is shut down until April 13th, but I’d be surprised if the “shelter in place” order is lifted at that time. I’m hopeful, but the numbers don’t look good.

A bit of the disaster that is our house right now.
