Easter - One Month of quarentine
This weekend was different. There were no family gatherings, but we did make phone and video calls. No hustle and bustle Easter shopping, but we did find chocolate to eat. We decorated 6 white eggs that we had. (We are fortunate to have neighbours that dropped off farm fresh eggs on our porch. However; we didn't think the brown and green eggs would dye as well).
I found some really fun ideas and replicated them for the kids. There was a game of seek and spell. The kids had to find Easter eggs with letters on them and spell out a hidden message: Here comes Peter Cottontail.
There was also a code game with symbols, where they had to figure out the message: Egg hunts prove that kids can find things when they want to; a counting egg decoder where they had to count eggs and find the number that matched the letter to spell out Happy Easter; and one more decoder, where they had to spin a wheel to figure out letters from numbers to spell out: spring flowers.
The last Easter thing we did was an egg hunt with plastic eggs.
All in all, we made some memories even if this year was different.
This weekend Brian tried his hand at Dungeon Master and we played Dungeons and Dragons as a family. It looks like it may be a multi weekend game.
Our cats Marble and Trinity turned three yesterday, so we celebrated by giving them a few extra treats.
After being in quarantine for a month now, I can honestly say... I am doing ok. I started an online exercise routine, so that keeps me active, I am now playing the roll of teacher, which isn't much different than what I was doing volunteering in the school, the only thing I really miss is being physically with people, and going out shopping for "insert whatever". Tomorrow April 14th, I will go out again into civilization to pick up my click and collect online grocery order where they will put my groceries into my trunk and I will come home and wash everything. Who knows what I will get. Last time, March 31st, I got about half my order, so we will see.
