Puzzles, Easter Crafts & More Indoor Fun!

 

A Quarantine Birthday Surprise for Holden

 We're all feeling bad that Holden is celebrating her 13th birthday without her friends.  What a milestone - finally turning into an official teenager!  To help make it more memorable for her we created this giant poster board birthday card for her and invited the family to come sign it - socially distant from 6 feet away of course!

More Home Schooling & Indoor fun

 Our indoor fun has changed lately as well.  Knowing that we're going to be home all the time for who knows how long...changes things.  We're limiting our TV and screen time - and being forced to play and create and interact with each other in new ways.  I have to admit, it's not bad....in fact we're having a whole lot of fun.

New Ways to Play

 As the Coronavirus haults life as we knew it, our kids are finding new ways to play and interact with each other.  Some research shows that UV rays and Vitamin D help fight off COVID 19 - if that's true we'll stay healthy!  We have plenty of outdoor time these days...

Homeschooling - Day 1

 Well if you're going to switch to "remote learning" at least it was fun being home on a holiday!

Belated Outdoor Birthday Celebration for Keira

 

A Village made out of Construction Paper and mini cups...

 

Who knew this could provide hours of entertainment?!?  These kids have amazing imaginations when they put their minds together. 

Arvada Center Field Trip with the 3rd Grade

 I love Joseph's writing assignment...he does help unload the car - but woohoo he wants to help with the dishes too!  Haha

It was such a pleasure escorting the 3rd grade class to the Arvada Center to do a craft and see The Velveteen Rabbit.  Little did we know....this would be their last day of school for a little while, and as it turns out, this was the last production of the Velveteen Rabbit for the season.  Colorado announced tonight that schools, restaurants and all non-essential businesses will be closed for a while to help "flatten the curve" and slow the spread of the Coronavirus.  

Play Date at Sebastian's House

 I'd say they had a good time together!
