Life In The Time of Corona (Days 41-47)

4.26.20 (Sunday):

We were excited that n figured out how we can watch YouTube on our television. Now we can watch our church service on the t.v. instead of crowding around a laptop.

n did the paper experiment from the children’s message. I like how he is always eager to try things out right away.

Made us some BimBimBap for dinner-yum!

4.27.20 (Monday):

k found out that she made Chamber Orchestra (highest level for her middle school). She had to submit an audition video and was kind of nervous, so that was a relief.

n started a virtual Public Health Merit Badge class that lasted the whole week.

4.28.20 (Tuesday):

n has been working on this COVID-19 Time Capsule for school.

4.29.20 (Wednesday):

I think the lizard population has exploded near our house. When I take my walks, they are everywhere!

4.30.20 (Thursday):

n’s soccer team took their Zoom call outside so they were able to practice a little and learn how they are supposed to create a team video.

5.1.20 (Friday):

It is kind of hard to believe that today is the first day of May. Time is passing slow and fast at the same time.

D had to jumpstart the car that I usually drive (yes, again!)

k had her first virtual GS meeting on Zoom.

We met with our small group via Zoom and k met with her youth group via Discord.

5.2.20 (Saturday):

I think this was one of the most fun days for me so far during our quarantine!

n participated in the Boy Scouts of America National Camp-In by meeting virtually with his troop (for the first time) and watching a lot of the programming on FB Live. I found a lot of the topics and speakers interesting, which included movie-making, cooking and interviews with an astronaut and Steve Wozniak. We made the sandwiches that were taught by a MasterChef Junior contestant who is also a Scout.

For dinner, D and the kids picked up a feast from Shinobu Japanese BBQ. Our church had a special night to support this local business. So good!

Instead of camping in our backyard, we did a literal “camp-in” and slept downstairs. It is always fun making a giant bed with sleeping bags, pillows and blankets, although n complained it was too hot.
