Staying-at-home and social distancing continues, sadly. We have fallen into a pattern of sorts, where I do some yoga and walk the dog, and then work from 9-3 while the kids do their distance learning and read books and watch videos and play Fortnite (and Seb walks Jasper at noon), and then we go out in the afternoon and play sports together for an hour or so, before dinner. We'll play basketball, baseball, soccer, downball, biking, walking, frisbee... And then in the evenings, if it's nice, we sometimes have another round of play, this time with Steve too. It's a perfectly fine rhythm, though lacking in excitement, and Steve and I worry about the amount of screen time both kids are getting.
We printed out and hung up some family photos in the living room, and continued working on the house cleanups - we've done Seb's and Liesl's rooms and closets, and the garage.
And my favorite thing of all: Seb has learned to make pancakes from a boxed mix. He's very happy and proud of his newfound ability to make one of his favorite foods.
