Since I've been working home for many weeks now, I've noticed that we have a LOT of delivery drivers in our neighborhood. We have Fed Ex, UPS, Amazon, SpeeDee, etc. come through so many times a day. On ONE day last week, I ended up having 5 separate deliveries. It got to the point I was a little embarrassed, lol. Plus, any packages that are delivered have to go through a "cooling off" period, so they sit by the front door for at least 24 hours. Makes it hard to quickly put things away before other members of the family notice the influx of shipments coming our way. I generally only pick up stuff from Target every few weeks, so I guess I'm finding other ways of making sure we support the economy...right?
G had a pretty good week. Out of the 21 chicks that have been in incubation at his teacher's house, 19 hatched! The two that didn't were never fertilized, so we felt okay about that. But then sad news...one of the little chicks got stepped on by the other chicks and its leg broke. Mrs. M tried to fix it, but the chick never fully recovered and ended up passing away on Friday night. Sad ending for the kiddos with that little chick :( But, oh the rest of the baby chicks are so, so cute! On a Zoom call this week, I heard Mrs M ask the kids to check with their parents to see if anyone wanted a chick. I then heard G say, "Yeah, probably not." Good job, buddy!
On a positive note, the teachers and staff from G's elementary school planned a parade through the neighborhoods where the majority of the kids live. Our 'hood made the cut, so we spent some time outside on Saturday morning, enjoying the sun, chatting with neighbors (from 6' away), and letting the kids burn off energy at an appropriate distance. When the parade came through, it was so much fun to see everyone! G got a shout out by the Assistant Vice Principal, the Principal, and the art teacher, so that was fun. Ava joined us, as well, and she was happy to see her teachers from her time at RPE, as well. Once it was all done, we were a little sad and emotional (and when I saw "we", I mean me. G was totally fine.)
After that event, Scott and I headed out to pick up our new soundbar for the basement, pick out all of our flowers/garden plants, and even ventured into Sams Club. The best part was stopping at Wendy's for lunch. I don't remember the last time I had fast food! It was nice to get out with Scott, yet still remain away from most people.
Ava has week one of her anime drawing class under her belt. It took a little bit of prodding from us to get her to participate in the class feed (she did the assignment with no hesitation,) and it's been fun to see that the other girls in the class are around her age and find the same things interesting. The cool thing is that they're from all over (not just from MN.) I hope she enjoys the rest of the class and takes away some great skills!
The weather is lovely right now. The garden has been planted, and I'm hoping to plant all of my flowers on Sunday afternoon. Scott has been busy building the bar in the basement...it's been fun to collaborate with different ideas on what we can do. We're excited to see it all come together!
Having fun building an online tree house for his computer specialist project
