March break in isolation

 Today is the last day of virtual school before March break.  It is April because March break got pushed back due to covid numbers.  We are way back up in numbers so the government called a stay at home order.

I just went to Kingston and got a huge load of groceries.  I bought the girls chromebooks which they had been saving up their chores money to buy. We are ready to buckle down for some more family time. 

I made a list of activities for us to do that are hopefully fun while we are staying home. Things to get them off the computers and being active.  They are too old for some crafts now but I think I have some good ideas 

I always encourage them to sew. I have more than enough sewing stuff for us. Also Grandma Mary Lou is coming over to make pie one day. I want to try making homemade perogies.  We are going to build a bench and corn hole boards plus rice bags for tossing. Break out some board games. I want to make up some gift packages to mail for other friends stuck at home too. I think the girls could get quite creative with what goes in them. Gardening with Nanny.

Make a first aid kit for the car. Make a time capsule.  Order some photos online and do some scrap booking. Online paint night tutorials. You tube guitar lessons. Walks at a Kingston trail with picnic.  I love picnics. 

Hopefully we all survive and make it a positive time with great memories.
