Time for a catch up on all things lockdown for us...
 |
| Lydia is missing her P1 class and teacher. We've run in to her teacher a couple of times when we've been out walking, but as she's a probationer she won't be in the school when school resumes after the summer. Meanwhile, she is reading a story for the class each week - here is Lydia enjoying that. |
 |
| We have been enormously thankful for the garden and the good weather the past few weeks! |
 |
| We still get to jump in muddy puddles sometimes though. (Esther LOVES her dinosaur coat!) |
 |
| As well as exciting indoor challenges like making the tallest Lego tower. |
 |
| This is what church look like just now |
 |
| And this was Easter Sunday's egg rolling. The slide was most helpful. |
 |
| I couldn't find Lydia one morning. It turns out she was looking for clothes! |
 |
| The girls get sent Sunday School activities each week. Here they are learning about Goliath. |
 |
| Of course, without a physical school to go to the girls often play schools. (yes, we do schoolwork with them in the mornings too - but they are much less willing to do that!) |
 |
| ...and why not just go the full distance and wear our school uniforms too? (this was genuinely one of the days that Lydia say her teacher out on the walk) |
 |
| More wholesome games include hospitals - this is the sheet written up for one of the patients. |
 |
| Our house has rainbows in every window of course, but also this to welcome the postman every day. |
 |
| Work, of course, involves a lot of video calls for me. Sadly one of the meetings usually has bacon sandwiches provided, so I had to bring my own this time. Still good! |
 |
| The lack of groups and activities means we can do a lot more with our weekends, including clearing some odd jobs. Lydia and Esther needed some new under-bed storage, so I got a chance to make some decent boxes. Great! |
 |
| The older two have been promised more colours in their bedroom for months. So, here we go! |
 |
| Sleepovers are limited to just staying in your sisters' bedroom. Still fun though. |
 |
| Wednesday evening Kids Club is still on, but the crafts and dances are all a bit in-house. |
 |
| The girls have enjoyed a couple of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals on YouTube. Joseph was the best! This is them enjoying Cats. |
 |
| Naomi took it upon herself to make dinner last weekend. Jay provided instructions, then she took care of it all herself. Great job! |
 |
| Last week we saw ducks in the school playground when we were out for our walk. |
