Anna doing a painting during Art class

The kids are getting doing a little bit better with “digital school”. Neither of them like it but they are resigned to the fact that this will be how their school year will finish. One of Anna’s favorite classes is Art and this week she decided to do her painting outside. She set up her easel and paints in the backyard and enjoyed the sunshine while she worked.

Most mornings this week Anna and Marcy would get out early before school and go for a bike ride around Wash Park. Jude and I would go for a run and we would see them on their ride. It good for them to get some exercise before school with no physical school happening.

Speaking of biking today the neighborhood kids decided to have a bike race. There are some bike trails near the park and they made up a course and ran a relay, family against family. The kids all raced hard and it was great to see the friendly competition.

Jude mowed the front lawn yesterday and Marcy looked out at him and saw him on his hand and knees staring at the ground for about five minutes. He had found a grasshopper and was watching it closely. He then caught it and showed it to us.

Marcy decided for Mother’s Day she wanted to stay around the house. She played with the kids, did a yoga class and a walk and then we both watched the big bike race. We managed to keep her out of the kitchen most of the day, Anna made her morning coffee and emptied the dishwasher first thing, and I cooked dinner. We had some nice Omaha Steaks which were delicious.
