Day 10

Mask production continues at the kitchen table (in the sweat shop). The family attended church remotely via Facebook Live. The Reguscis all took a nice walk outside this afternoon, then bunkered in with popcorn to watch Onward (new Pixar movie). We were going to do pick-up from the Club for dinner, but they ran out of prime rib. Spaghetti it is! And with the setting sun comes a little sledding on the snow plow's hill.

There are two dogs there.

Got a couple dozen "in the baggies" now.

Day 9

The big project of the day was making medical masks to donate (instructions, these masks are really easy to make.  If you don't have access to elastic, use 15" fabric strips, or grosgrain ribbon then the masks tie behind the head, rather than slip over the ears. Thank you to Chris Scott for posting this info). But there was also a game of Harry Potter Clue (which I like even more than regular Clue), exercise, car painting, and the care and feeding of tomato plants from School in the Woods (we went out there today in small numbers at a time to pick up stuff AJ might need, like winter coats). The car in front of us at Starbucks this morning bought our order, so we bought the order of the car behind us later this afternoon. Oh, and today, Tracy and Matt installed a bidet in one of the bathrooms. We had a "premier bidet matinee!" (per Matt). We no longer care about TP hoarding.

First mask is done!

More GoNoodle

Day 8

Nana taught AJ a little about running a sewing machine today. He was also very curious about how a sewing machine works. And in the process, AJ made himself a baseball pillow case. Matteo joined in for some piecing of a quilt. And GoNoodle continues to be a favorite exercise activity.

Jonny was paying attention to the HO trains on the wall.

Day 7

Snow Day! That takes on a whole new meaning when you're home anyway. Fina baked the cookies last night. Tracy started decorating for Easter. And Matteo made dinner, spaghetti, along with Nana's garlic bread. It was still snowing when we went to bed. As the last activity of the day, we watched Outbreak. Fina had a school project to watch a movie and talk about the 6 story elements put forth out by Aristotle.

Crushing it!

Day 6

AJ saw Fina doing some cool coloring last night and decided to give that a shot this morning. Tracy picked up packets of big coloring projects at Target yesterday for $1 each! (It was a necessary trip out for prescriptions.) KKTV-11 did a Facebook Live weather lesson on clouds. As a group, we passed the quiz at the end!

P.S. Breaking news this evening... All Colorado schools are now closed through April 17th.

Exercising with GoNoodle.

Nala wasn't very impressed.

Parking lot not as empty as I expected with no dining in.
Drive-Thru and curbside at full bore, however.

A treat for lunch

Nana's finishing up on the downstairs remodel of our
"guest suite." Office and sewing areas swapped places.

That's not a Christmas tree; it's an alpine decoration.
The mineral and theater collection got a new home.

Day 5

We're told the dog is assisting.

Then this happened.

Quarantine Day 4

All kinds of homework going on for all the kiddos today. One of AJ's assignments was to bake something. We started macaroons, but that was an epic fail. Never whipped up to stiff peaks. So on to banana bread!

Ta da !
