After almost an entire year, Charlotte and Reed returned to in person school. It is still hybrid (they only go mornings and have remote instruction in the afternoons), but it is so so so wonderful to see them happy and engaged. They love walking to and from school and we talk over everything they did each lunch together.
Reed is really starting to get going on reading which is fabulous!
Nana came to help with the kids Wednesday when I had conferences back-to-back from 1:00-7:00 on Wednesday. She and Charlotte made crepes for dinner. Charlotte is now able to make them all by herself and has made them for lunch a couple times since then!
We introduced Nana to Dixit. She loved it. And it was great just to hang out.
We've had some great sunshine the past week. It makes swimming at Aqua Club almost feel like summertime.
Reed started doing his afternoon classes outside and would play basketball during the breaks.
Reed's teacher, Cally, is very impressed with his work. Reed wanted to write the most in class. Just as we always suspected, he can totally do it, just needs the motivation. Apparently being in class with his peers is a huge motivator! Yay!
This is his desk in class and an engineering project he had to build a ramp.
Charlotte has been rocking the pancake breakfasts!
Reed cut his bangs - well, just the middle. We ended up going to barbershop that afternoon to clean it all up. LOL.
The dentist had reduced seating in the waiting area. No problem for us!
Edison's cool "I Am" project.
And we set up Mouse Trap. It takes awhile. We didn't have the right marble. D'oh!
The kids had early release all week for parent-teacher conferences. I was able to take time off each afternoon and we spent the time at the cabin and went skiing after we finished up school each day. So much fun!!!
We also had a lot of downtime at the cabin - some of which led to Charlotte and Reed creating a real life, in person, Among Us game. It was super creative and we played it a number of times.
We also played some great games each evening, like Dixit.
And we had spring skiing conditions which was awesome.
On Wednesday we even got to ski a bit with Bryn, Cade, and Craig! Fun!
Our first time in the lodge in a year. Very spread out, lots of room, and a nice place to take a breather.
Reed has been asking to play Clue (Master Detective) for a couple weeks. We finally made that happen!
We skied Thursday on the way home and got in some good jumps.
We skied again Saturday and Sunday - can't get enough!
And we stopped at Karen's on the way home from skiing on the weekend and got to play with Luna and catch up with Auntie Karen. Good times!
