quarantine week 10

Bryce started and finished his last science unit this week!  The ocean unit started with a fun salinity experiment.

We haven't been taking the kids into stores with us since quarantine so it makes it difficult to go sometimes because one of us always needs to be home with the kids.  Bryce and Jason were at baseball practice and I needed to run out so Emmy had to go.  She was excited to wear my mask.  Hers should come in the mail this week.  Apparently her doll needs one so they can really twin.

We went to another parade party this week.  Our third one during quarantine.  

We needed to take a picture of us to send to the kids in the Sunday school class we teach and you would not believe how much work it was to get the dog into our lap for it.  He's a mess.

Bryce finished his last Science unit on Friday and turned in his final graded assignment of 5th grade.  He was so excited to be done.  Our school year is technically not over and I'm not sure when it will be, but the load will definitely be lighter for this guy from here on out.

With the state of pool openings in question this summer, we broke down and got a pool for the summer.  Jason worked hard leveling out the yard and getting the pool up.  The kids couldn't wait to get in it on Friday after "school".

Bryce's daily zoom calls may look a little different for the rest of the school year.

It was cold, but worth it.

The kids invited Chase and Taylor over Friday night for a sleepover.  Pizza first.

Then swimming.

Then s'mores!

They spent the majority of the day in the pool today.

I've done more mental projects in my head during quarantine than real ones.  Here is one I finally got to bring to life.  This frame had always looked so out of place by itself.  Hobby Lobby finally reopened so I went to browse and found these planters and greenery and I think it turned out perfectly.

We went to Jason's sister's house tonight for a cookout and some outdoor fun.  Bryce is enjoying using his Lifestraw to drink from the pond.  I think the idea of it is gross, but whatever.  

The boys took Cheyenne for a canoe ride!
