Once we returned from our spring break vacation, we quickly realized that our lives would be very different for a while. The Coronavirus has made its way to the United States and the nation was quickly working its way toward quarantine procedures. The grocery stores were bare and people were being asked to stay in their homes and practice social distancing. With school not resuming due to the virus, we had to quickly come up with some ways to entertain and educate Claire. I am not happy the virus is affecting so many lives, but I can say that this change in lifestyle has allowed us to slow down and enjoy family time together. Since we don't have to run every single night to either swim or church, we have the evenings to enjoy dinner together, play games, and treasure the time we have at home. It truly has been a blessing to be able to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life!
Claire made some sun catchers with glue and food coloring...
Jeff got an Atari so we introduced Claire to our favorite game growing up...Frogger...and she loves it!
Claire said she wanted to make rainbow pasta for dinner. So I let her figure it out and she did a great job!
A little science experiment with water, food coloring, oil, and salt. Similar to a homemade lava lamp.
Of course, home ec is part of the daily school routine! This kid jumped right in and helped me clean the house Thursday! Sure goes much faster with two sets of hands working!
Sneaking in reading time on her Kindle. It was a beautiful evening so we both headed outside to read. Thankful for this time to get to slow down and spend quality time together! God is good even in the tough challenging times!
