It was our first Monday at home and it was a great day. I made a schedule for us and the boys checked it several times throughout the day to see where we were and what was next. Xander is pretty “type A” so he liked having a structure to the day. And we stuck to it all day.

\"\"<\/a>The weather was awesome and we were outside right away, and spent a full hour riding bikes, throwing rocks, and running around fighting bad guys.
\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

After playing outside, we went back inside the house and the boys played while I had a facetime interview with a potential summer staff. The boys were very cooperative and didn’t interrupt.<\/p>\n

For lunch, we had a picnic in our front yard. We live on a pretty busy street, so there was a lot going on for us to watch. We saw about 10 people out for walks, 5 or 6 dogs for walks, a garbage truck drove by, lots of good cars- the boys waved to every person, animal and vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
After lunch is was time for rest time. Overall they did pretty well, although we added some rules as we went- no arguing and no coming out of their room. <\/div>\n

\"\"
When quiet time was over, we worked on a few different projects- we practiced writing ‘A’s, painted letters for their wall, and played.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we headed back outside for the rest of the afternoon. They took turns driving the jeep up and down the alley. For the first few laps, Augustus chose to run after it instead of riding or driving. I was also running along, and after the 15th time up the alley, I thought maybe there’s hope that I won’t gain 100 pounds during this quarantine. Not pictured, Xander changing into shorts, then taking off his shirt. He is VERY ready for the summer.<\/p>\n

It was a busy day and I think I am more exhausted than either of them. I’m going to have to build my stamina for our daily adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
