Sunday: clean up

We told the boys we were going to clean up the basement this weekend. 

So they cleaned up all the Legos during their rest time!  I was quite surprised as they (especially Isaac) hadn't taken that kind of initiative before.  There was still quite a bit of other stuff that we all cleaned up together, but they had done a good chunk of it.

We gave them extra screen time as a (one-time) reward.

Friday: early

I had to get up early for the second day in a row, so needless to say I was exhausted before nap time.  Joshua had an early (ish) lunch and we started screen time/rest time a bit early so I could take a nap.  I had thoughts of getting up earlier than normal, but just couldn't do it.

Joshua handled the day fine though, so he must have had enough interaction with people.  He made an awesome castle during his extended rest time.

Isaac had his well-child check up today.  It was pretty normal...about 50% for height, a low percentile for weight, but following his normal curves.  It was a rather pointless check-up, but I suppose still important.

Thursday: compliment

I was handed a surprising compliment today..."Using Google Meet in the classroom was one of the best ideas [the department] has had in 10 years."

Is it that amazing?  I'm not really sure.  However, I was troubleshooting my excel problem a few days ago and didn't use it for a class and it was terrible.  The students in the corners were craning their heads all around and it felt so much slower and more interrupted.

Wednesday: I have a dream

Monday: cancelled

Joshua's gymnastics class was canceled today due to instructor illness.  They told us well in advance, but then I suddenly had more time than normal with Joshua that I didn't know how to fill.

We ended up going to 'CC's playground.'  Since it was a day she was working, we even got to say hi and got a little tour.  Joshua also played for an hour and a half, which was significantly longer than I was expecting.

Sunday: communion

Isaac took his first communion today.  In the past he's declined, but this morning he asked to do so.  I was overjoyed.

Saturday: progressive dinner

Tonight we had a progressive dinner.  It was a lot of fun.  We saw some people that we haven't talked to in a while and met some new people too.
