Wednesday: egg hunt

The boys had a blind-folded Easter egg hunt.  The teachers were kind enough to drop some eggs off for us!

Our babysitter is in quarantine.  It causes problems, but everything was figured out.  It also seems as though several students at the boys' school have COVID as we're getting a lot of form letters.  It's actually rather odd, but that's the only reason we can think of.

Tuesday: nothing

 Well, I've got nothing for today.  Oh, yesterday we were told that Isaac's class is in quarantine.  The sad thing is that spring break starts on Thursday.  The nice part is that it doesn't affect us...it was nice not to race around to figure out what to do with Isaac while I was working. 

Sunday: handwriting, take 2

 After my last handwriting post I got some feedback.  Dad wrote me a nice note.

Ben said that he always prints.

Friday: battle

 Isaac's been working on the battle between red and blue for about two weeks now.  There are a bunch of rules...the cores give extra power, they're harder to take over, etc. etc.  I've been impressed with how long he's stuck with it.  (Tonight he finally said he was bored of it, so we'll see if it's just a one night thing or if it's done for good.)

Thursday: funny

Isaac: Do you want to hear something funny?

Amanda: Sure

Isaac: Isaac.

**************

Amanda: Well, at least you don't have to work tomorrow.

Ben: What?  It's not one of my days off.  ...I don't think, at least.

Amanda: Hmm, I had sort of made plans expecting you'd be here.  Let me check my email.

Amanda: yeah.  It says you took tomorrow off.

Ben: *looks it up on his work calendar*

Ben: *looks it up on his time off calendar*

Ben: Oh yeah, I do have it off.  How exciting.

Wednesday: time

 Isaac is writing a report on electricity.  He wanted a picture of a magnet coil, and I remembered that a long time ago I had brought one home.  I looked on the blog for a picture, but could only find a video:

Isaac knew exactly what I was referring to when I made the second video:

We also got their school pictures...finally.  I skipped having family pictures this fall for a few reasons, but then school pictures got pushed out until March!  I had been hoping to do some spring family pictures, but maybe we'll end up with summer ones.  It's time for some more, but I've also learned not to do them too close to school ones.

Tuesday: vaccine!

Ben got his first vaccine shot today (Moderna)!  It was a rather unexpected call yesterday, but I'm very, very excited that he has the first one.
