Week 3 of stay home learning

Stay at home learning/teaching continues and week 3 is done. Whew. 
Here are the highlights of the week.
Games, games and more games. 
Puzzles and more puzzles!
One morning we had a fun surprise...someone "egged" our yard. :)
Early morning "egg hunting"
Jillian had a zoom with her dance classes and we continued also with piano via facetime and church online as well.

The girls did all their school online, zooms and assignments. 
Tony and I continued "teaching" online too.
Josie has so many cute Easter clothes and wasn't able to wear them out this year. 
At least I got her in her cute Josie Easter shirt. 
Let's wear a cowgirl hat...just because.
Scooter turned 15...she is getting slower and slower, but she's still such a sweet girl.
And this little pumpkin is loving having us home all day! :)
Sleepover fun! This was their 2nd time to sleep over...this time they used the air mattress and both slept together. (Last time, Josie was in her bed and Jillian was on the floor.) 
They decided to be more comfy this time.
The things we do during quarantine time. :)
Unfortunately, the next morning, Josie woke up with fever. 
Her fever stayed, but she had times during the day when the medicine kicked in and she felt better. She loved all the extra attention (and watching I love Lucy in mom and dad's bed)
Aunt Jenn and Uncle Chris sent the girls an Easter coloring book for a surprise!
The girls made cards for the elderly and dropped them off at Jillian's dance studio for their card drive.

Josie's fever continued, but again, with medicine, she felt good enough to have a little Easter fun.
Egg dying time!
Pretty eggs!!
Since there were no Easter bunny visits this year, instead, the Easter bunny rode around our neighborhood for all the kids to see. Josie was soooooo excited to see him!
Look at that smile!!

Stay at home learning week 2

Schools are closed and we are home all day! Here are some of the highlights from week 2!

 Lots and lots of games are being played. 
 Swinging!
 And more swinging
 Daddy got the girls donuts for breakfast
 Josie made herself a cozy spot with her tent and lots of blankets and stuffed animals.
 We got out ONCE to get toilet paper from Grandma! Then, of course, Starbucks.
 And more games!!
 Coloring
 Baking
 More games! 
(Don't mind little Josie with no clothes! HA! She must be going through a stage of either no clothes or changing her clothes every 20 minutes. Makes for a messy room for sure!
 School work of course...LOTS of school work for the older 3. Not so much for Miss Josies this week. Mama was quite busy with HER schoolwork every day.
 Numbers!
 Kennedy
 Kaitlyn (in the closet for privacy...by choice!)
 Popsicles
 Virtual piano lessons via the IPAD
 Josie made a video for her class to talk about her "All About Me" poster
 Lots of jumping time
 Puzzles and gymnastics leotards (again, with the clothing changes....)
And sweet card from my students in the mail.

There are SOOO many other things that are happening that I just don't have pictures of:
Daily walk with the dogs
Zoom meetings like crazy for everyone
Lots of Wii games
Rearranging furniture in girls rooms (just because)
Fashion shows
Online dance lessons and learning NEW dances (for fun)
Making lots of messes in the house (due to playing)
Online church
and lots of working going on! It's quite the experience doing online learning and teaching. Not something I would want to do again...

On to week 3!
