Week 4 Quarantine, Easter

We were fortunate to have another beautiful week! It helps so much when we are hanging out together all day.  The kids continued to have Zoom calls with their classes, but otherwise, I had them do their normal schedule of work in the morning, and freetime in the afternoon.
We had a great Easter. The kids had an Easter egg hunt when they woke up, they we went on a hike, upon my request.  At breakfast, I said that for Easter I wanted to go on a hike without anyone whining about it.  That spurred everyone to say something they would want for the day.  Will said he wanted to get through eating his pancakes with a ton of syrup without anyone asking him to have good manners:).  Annie wanted an egg hunt and something from the Easter bunny, which we could already check off the list, Kate wanted to go to Grandma Reen's for a hunt, Grace wanted everyone to be nice to her:), and I'm pretty sure she got her wish.  And Pat wanted to have his happy hour uninterrupted.  He gave up alcohol for Lent, so was pretty excited about it! After the hike, we streamed mass on our TV, then headed up to Maureen and Bill's.  It felt like such a busy day, since we usually don't have anything going on!


Outside learning; all great fun until Leo comes around and dumps all the markers in the pool:).

It started with Leo spraying everyone, then the kids duct taped the hose to the trampoline.  I called that our engineering time:).

Friday night Steidlmayer Zoom call:).


Nightly 7 pm, make noise for people on the front-lines! It's a fun way to wave and say high to

neighbors!

Getting ready for Easter!

Easter egg hunt! 

           

Grace wanted pancakes in the shape of eggs:). 

Easter egg hunt at Maureen and Bill's! I have a lot of pictures of Annie, Will and Kate, but none of Leo and Grace:).  I think they were too busy running around and looking for eggs! 

They got a slip and slide from the Easter bunny and wanted to try it out that night! !
