Day 34

It's been snowing on and off for a few days. In some ways it makes it easier to be stuck at home when it's cold outside. However, I am sick of winter and want to be outside, working in the yard, going for walks, riding my bike. Hopefully the cold won't last much longer.

Miss Nines technology teacher gave the kids an assignment to make and post a video saying hi to all of their friends. We had fun looking at all of the other videos and seeing her classmates. She finished up her assignments that are due tomorrow and is all ready to turn them in. Google classroom is such a great tool for the teachers and students right now.

I subscribed to Raddish Kids for Miss Nine. https://www.raddishkids.com/ A box comes once a month with recipes, a cooking utensil, lessons in using kitchen tools, and activities. She got her first box today. It contained an apron and a scooper/spreader. A badge comes with each box that you can sew onto your apron.

One of the recipes was for Carrot Cake Cookies, so we made some. We were able to use the leftover cream cheese frosting from our amazing cupcakes. The cookies are awesome!

Miss Nine had an opportunity to Face Time with the school counselor. Miss Nine gave a virtual tour of her bedroom and talked about all of the things that have been bothering her. They spent about an hour talking and when they were done she said that she felt much better. What a blessing the school staff have been! The counselor said that she thinks the school staff are closer than they have ever been because of the issues that they have had to navigate. I believe it. I think that learning how to deal with all of this is going to change many relationships, hopefully for the better.


College Boy mowed the lawn today, in spite of the snow. Typical spring day in Michigan.
