Well, today is the start of my week of holidays and everything is off. We got a message last night that there was a positive Covid case at the school and they are switching to online learning for the next ten days. Haven't got much of a clue what this will entail and also only have one laptop with two kids so there will be some planning required. One teacher has said there are some worksheets on the Google Classroom page and to do those. The other teacher hasn't sent anything yet so not sure what to do for that one. I had so many plans for the week off and places to go and things I wanted to do, alone. Most of it I can still do but I'll have to drag the kids along or have them set up on the computer and then get myself doing what I needed. While also hoping they don't need any help with whatever they are doing. I know they are just being safe but I'm frustrated that my plans have to get upended.
We had a good day yesterday for Thanksgiving. We got everything prepped early and then it was just into the oven for it. The girls and I went to Value Village to drop off a few boxes that I had decluttered and we found a few things to bring home with us. Books for the girls and some Xmas clothes for me. We also found a few pairs of shoes for the girls, including winter boots for Bug, which were definitely needed. After we got home it was time to make sure the Xmas lights were all in working shape and setting up the Halloween decorations. Then it was time to stuff ourselves full of supper.
Today we did a bunch of things bright and early. We hit up the Co-op to get a few door parts for Bug's closet and to exchange the Avon book out for the new one. Then we went to Winners and I managed to sneak a few Xmas gifts into the cart as well as a couple of treats for myself. Then it was off to Lowe's to get the door parts that Co-op was out of, then to Dollarama to get Bear a new set of string lights for her room. Her old set had broken and so we looked for and found a new set. As a treat for the crazy days, we went out for lunch to Montana's. I got lucky and it was kids eat free so I only paid for myself and one kid's meal making it a much less expensive outing than thought.
Since we've been home, the girls have done their assignments for online schooling, we finished clearing the garden space of leftover plants, I fixed the closet in Bug's room, we cleaned up a mess of toys downstairs, we sorted and rearranged Bear's bookcase, I finished taking books to the other room from the bookcase in the living room I did on Sunday and the girls played a game and made a new mess.
I still have a list of things that I want to get done this week but I think I will leave them for the upcoming days so that I'm not getting bored with nothing to do.
Take Care!
