Social Distancing Teen Style Part II

By the end of the week, we were a little better at social distancing.  I have gone a couple of walks with Britney and run a couple of errands, and that is about as social as I have been outside of my immediate family.  The kids didn't do or ask to do as much with friends.

The girls practiced and perfected their sock hair routine.  Lots of super cute waives in the morning...but no where to go!

(Wavy hair example)

We've used our ping pong table more than ever.  This was our FHE activity last week.  I think we have honestly used it more in the past week than in the past 6 months combined.  (I have been trying not to have bad feelings towards that huge object that was never used that took over my front room.)

Bryn took advantage of the beautiful weather and studied her scriptures outside.  We also took lots and lots of walks this week too.  (Brinley and I; Brinley, Britney and I; Britney and I; Aubrey and I; Parker and I...so many walks.)

Some reading has taken place...mostly "forced"....I asked Aub and Tan to read 30 minutes, exercise 30 minutes and do something "good" 30 minutes everyday.  (The good could be things like: drivers ed, practicing the guitar, service etc.)  Oh the moaning and arguing and complaining I heard from Tan and Aub was ridiculous.  Once they realized it wasn't changing, they just went with it.  (Such a very, very small part of some very long days!)

We cooked some or our Hello Fresh meals together.  We ate a little fancier than we usually do, and I enjoyed trying new things.  Candied onions with your pork tacos anyone?

Lots of snuggling and I think we watched a movie almost every night.  Some of the movies: Contagion (it seemed appropriate), The Proposal, A League of Their Own, Patriot Games (We used Vid Angel filters with some of these which was appreciated.)  I am not a huge movie person but with things in slow motion, I watched quite a bit.

Lots of snuggling... 

Brinley was trying to take a picture, and I was trying to hide Parker's armpit hair.

Online school here we come....
