The 2nd week of distance learning was even better than the first week. G knows exactly what he needs to do each day, and his resistance to the writing pieces has reduced a bit. The meltdowns don't last nearly as long, and then he focuses and gets it done. We've put together a good pattern where we alternate school work with TV/Kindle time, as well as some screen-free time with toys.
I did get some feedback from his teacher that he is doing really well with his distance learning, so I'm encouraged that we're going to make it.
Ava is also doing really well...I'm so impressed by her focus. I'm also very grateful that she took Tech Ed this fall, FACs (Home Ec) this winter, and is now in Art. Her assignments are all being done on her iPad and they look great. She's been spending all of her extra time with a drawing app on her phone. Ava is such a talented artist, and she loves to spend time doing it. We're so proud of her!
I had a deployment for work on Tuesday night. I've been working on a specific project since last October, and we finally were able to move the code to production, without too many issues. A prod deploy without massive issues (or a full rollback) is a WIN in my mind!
I supported a local SSP coffee shop (Black Sheep Coffee!) that is now making masks...G refuses to put his on, but at least I have one for each of us, so we're prepared.
Zoom is becoming a regular thing in our house...my book club met via Zoom on Wednesday night, and on Friday night I had a Zoom HH with some friends. It was SO nice to be able to see my friends again!
Scott is continuing to go into work every day, and even worked a full day on Saturday for his side business. I'm a little nervous with him being out of the house so much, but his job allows him to keep space between him and people, so he has that going for him (and he wouldn't have it any other way, lol.)
On Friday we had our basement carpet installed. It was a noisy, long process, but the end result turned out great! Scott needs to work on the trim/doors, and then I need to do the touch-up painting when it's all done. Our new TV and blinds will be delivered this coming week - hooray! We need to keep our eyes out for furniture, but it's really hard to buy stuff when we can't see it in person, or check out it's comfy-level. Oh well...if anything, we'll just do some floor-lounging until we can get better seating down there!
On Saturday night we started prepping for Easter. I sure hope the Easter Bunny decides to visit even with the Stay at Home order. Yikes!
Happy Easter to you and your family. Enjoy this special day with your loved ones...and stay safe and healthy!

Not the basement, but...Scott installed our new storm door. We've been busy with house projects lately!

Scott dyed the pretty solo multi-color egg in the back. Ava, G, and I all dyed the one-color eggs in the front. We're boring. :)
Happy Easter to you and your family. Enjoy this special day with your loved ones...and stay safe and healthy!
