Mama came home from work to a grouchy, frustrated family this evening. So we went out for a ride outside after dinner.
It’s amazing how a little open water and exercise can restore their mood.
Persistence and Patience
We started this puzzle as a family and Janie really wanted to finish it tonight. There was a lot of humming and hah-ing but she kept at it and finished.
Stories
This guy decided to camp out on our bedroom floor tonight. So, we got his bedtime stories there too.
Skateboard Break
Homework
Peanut did his reading and writing homework today.
He also took a long nap. Homework is exhausting.
Remote Supervision
Mama supervised the kids folding laundry today from her office at work.
Count Your Chickens
The kids played a new board game called “Count Your Chickens”. It requires working together so it’s Mama approved.
More Inside Activities
Peanut helped Dada make salad today. He’s becoming quite the little helper lately.
Then we had dinner with Ankong, Ama, Toni, Thomas, Auntie Jia, and Uncle Jason over Zoom.
We had another family game night after dinner and played “SORRY!” This is how we spend our crazy Friday nights now. 🙂
“Distant” Friends
Maya (her friend from the neighborhood and school), drew some pictures and wrote her a note outside our house. Janie saw it later and called her over Facetime. It’s nice to see that they can still “hang out” during this weird time.
Inside Activities
Being home all day requires some novel activities to pass the time. The kids worked on puzzles and we also had family game night after dinner.
