Good morning!
Here are a few things my children have been doing during this three and a half week not going out of the house except for walks around the neighborhood in nice weather.
1) Watching Veggie Tales (and Larry Boy cartoons) and Mary Poppins Returns among other choices of DVDs we borrowed from the library and don't have to return until the library opens again.
2) Homeschooling using the Internet.
3) Playing with puppets their great-grandmother made in the 1940's. Their grandmother read the classic stories the puppets represent on her iPhone.
4) Having Dr. Suess books read to them before bed and either my cousin reading it backwards or making up silly names for all the characters.
5) Playing games like Uno, Rummikub, or Spot It, Monopoly Deal, Monopoly Cheaters Edition, or Chess among other games.
6) Walking the dog, Horatio.
7) Helping with baking and cooking and enjoying the things baked (and decorated a carrot cake made for no particular reason).
8) Playing with LEGOs and other toys.
9) Playing the Xbox with my cousin (Lego City Undercover is the most popular).
10) We made a train with boxes for transporting toys around the house.
11) Reading the books we borrowed from the library and other older books we have at my grandmother's home.
12) A large puzzle.
Only a partial list for now. We are doing well here with six of us in my grandmother's home. Just missing one important person we don't know when we will see again.
