Monday: the morning

Dad came over this morning to help declog a drain.  The boys were willing to help because they were bribed with screen time, but Isaac seemed much more interested in the whole process than he was required to be.  Dad stayed around for a bit for a drink...it was nice since it's been a bit since I've seen him.

Tornado really, really wanted to get in the cabinet under the sink today.  It is way to full for a cat to be in though, so I kept taking him out.  I finally put a rubberband around the knobs, like we did with toddlers.

We watched some videos about MLK and discussed how it relates to current events (BLM).  The boys lead very sheltered lives, and so didn't know about the violence at the Capitol or the election fraud allegations.  But there is some overlap between the two, so they ended up with a huge civics lesson.  I'm not sure how much they understood though.  It turns out they also don't understand the concept of social media, because they don't have any accounts.  It's a bit hard to explain the impacts of losing your social media accounts when the concept of social media is foreign to you.
