My Cousin Megan got married - In quarantine
A day in the life of quarantine... We are keeping quite busy and don't feel bored at all. We usually do about four hours a day of schooling which keeps us quite busy, I have also been to a school board online meeting, and with the help of our principal and my co-chair, we hosted a parent council meeting for our school. All of which went quite well. Hadley has class meetings once a week online and they usually play Kahoot which is a quiz game or they talk about projects, and just "feel" social. Easton calls his friends and they play Prodigy which is an online math game, or Adventure Academy which is an online s math, science, language arts, and social studies game. Easton also plays a game called Arc (Dinosaur game) and a few others with friends online.
We try to incorporate fun into our days. Lots of baking including butter tarts from scratch that doubled as a school project. Painting. We did an online face drawing class. Bike rides down our road. I am doing an online 12 week workout. The kids and I are enjoying watching The Voice on TV. We made a cake and did more video calling to celebrate Julie's birthday. I have had a few girls night video conferences. We have watched One World, an American show put together by famous people most notably singers but other famous people too, to raise money for food banks, and then we watched Stronger Together, the Canadian version to raise money for Canadian food banks.
Easton started soccer on WebEx. So they will be doing a half an hour weekly of indoor exercises with a soccer ball where they can see their team and get some exercise.
And probably the biggest news in the last two weeks was my cousin Megan marrying Paul. This was such an interesting experience. We got a link sent to us to watch the wedding online. They were allowed 5 people total. The two of them, the priest and two guests to sign. I am sure this was a difficult decision. However, since Paul's brother had already gotten married, the decision was made that my cousin's parents would get to be there as this would be their only child getting married. I wish I could have been there but obviously I understand. They weren't even allowed in the sanctuary. They were literally allowed just inside the church doors, and the priest was six feet away. Still, we as a family got dressed up, took photos, watched their ceremony, and now we wait to celebrate with them sometime likely next year when they will renew their vows with guests. Much congratulations go out to them!
Other than that, the biggest and really only outing I have had is getting our click and collect grocery order by myself (Brian and the kids have not gone out since March 12th) and waiting to see what the grocery store actually had versus what we ordered. Grocery day is tiring as I hand wash every item that comes into the house. But I think we are good for another two weeks.
