Gym Class

One rule in our distance learning gym class today, no training wheels were allowed! 

In all seriousness, they both learned super fast and are doing awesome! Can't wait for long summer bike rides. 

Distance Learning

Today kicked off the first official day of distance learning. Some parts were smooth and some were just plain ugly. I love having the kids home but not really looking forward to having to educate them and do this for the next weeks or months. We will get through it with lots of prayer and grace. I will admit they looked really cute in their little spots working hard.

Coronavirus Quarantine

Officially on week two of being quarantined due to the coronavirus.  We have thankfully gotten along really well but it's probably because we have watched lots of movies, played games, and built lots of Legos.  Well thanks to dad and craigslist, he surprised us all Sunday with a Wii. So after reading today without me begging and no complaining, they were quickly rewarded with fun family Wii competitions.

LCA Community

I often have moments where I am just beyond grateful for being a part of our school's community. Today was one of those days! I watched my kids not play their tablets, but talk to friends all morning who they miss tremendously. Then we got to celebrate the staff and all their hard work making our education become online next week by surprising them with other parents and students hunky their horns and waving signs to celebrate them while being 6 feet apart. We all miss each other so much and are waiting for this virus to get done so we can get back into seeing each other every day.

Chalk Mosaic

Homeschool art class today was fun, beautiful, and very successful!

Go Cyclones

Thanks to being stuck at home for weeks due to the coronavirus, we have been coming up with new and exciting things to do every day. Today's was thanks to Nana having to go back to Nebraska constantly to visit her mom; I convinced her not to buy us any more Nebraska gear but stop on the way to get some new Cyclone gear.  I know it was painful for her but she selfishly bought these super cute shirts for the kids and today they are having a matching new shirt kind of day. Go Cyclones!

Kallen Turns 8 Years Old

Today Kallen turned 8!  Even last night dad and I were talking about how unreal that seems. He still daily shows us how he is one smart, funny, hardworking, mathematical boy who thankfully still loves to cuddle.  

Kallen loves anything to do with Legos, dinosaurs, playing with friends, Star Wars, board games, video games, and basketball.  

Happy 8th Birthday, Kallen!

We love you so much and we hope you enjoyed your day.

Unfortunately due to the coronavirus, Kallen's birthday celebration with friends was nonexistent.  We spent the day quarantined at home as a family (fun for me, not for a boy who wants to be with friends too).  We watched him open his gifts, we ate cake, and then let him do whatever he found enjoyable on his day.
