Day 36

Day 36 and weekend #? was nice.  We had some sun and a little bit of wind but all of the snow has melted off.  I jogged, we talked to family members on the phone, Reina got to talk to cousins on both sides of the family, we cleaned the house and made more masks (we have a pretty neat little socially distanced assembly line going between Vicky's house, mine and friends - all of it is contact-free and lots of bags filled with masks in various stages of development being left on front porches.)  We ended the weekend with a family football game in the backyard and the game ended when people got cold, not angry.  Yah!  Will did baseball drills in the garage with Glenn and Reina and I baked and played some piano.

Glenn continued his project of cleaning out our shed and sprucing up the garage.  He decided this weekend to tackle all of the paint cans that we have sitting around.  We found paint that predates us buying the house, so it was definitely time to do something about that.  What an exciting update!  But I include it in this blog to highlight all of the weird little projects we probably wouldn't be getting done if it wasn't for quarantine. 

Reina filled out a book to remember her COVID-19 days.  I'll include it in more detail here soon but she had to interview both Glenn and I separately.  One of the questions was one thing that we like to bake.  My answer was chocolate chip cookies, obviously.  Glenn's?  "Salmon." Reina had a lot to say about that answer and not much of it was positive.  She will always remember that her dad likes to eat healthy. 

So it's on to another busy week.  Both Glenn and I have a lot projects and meetings this week.  As we enter our third week of official home school I am feeling a little more prepared for some of the challenges but I also know that we can be thrown a curveball at anytime.  How's that for a baseball analogy?  I also know that we've made it through this many weeks, we can surely keep going.
