Lucius teacher stopped by our house one morning this week to drop off a book for us. Since we kind of figured we were not going to be back in school the rest of the year, we took Lucius' "last day of school" photo with his teacher. It's totally a year to remember... face masks and physically distant teacher photo.
While talking with his teacher Lucius happened to see this cute family of geese in our yard. We watched them for a while, making sure they did not try to go in our backyard where we were sure the dog would have tried to eat a baby goose had she been outside.
On Tuesday, after I was finished with work the kiddos and I rode our bikes over to the library to pick up our new books we had on hold. We pick them up curb side, which means we don't get to go into the library. New books means we have to sit and read the RIGHT AWAY. So we took a short break to read in front of the library. Then we rode the 3 miles back home. It was a good 6 mile round trip and thankfully everyone loved the outing.
Once home the kiddos curbed up on the couch and read most of the afternoon!
Lucius has been enjoying some outdoor time with Daddy. They play tennis together on the driveway. They can't wait for the tennis courts to be open again for public use!
The kiddos have been LOVING biking this spring and a friend told us about a short dirt path in the woods near our house. I told the kids about it and they TOTALLY wanted to see it. They of course told the neighbors about it and invited them along. It's been really nice to have neighbors who we can talk too through the stay at home order. I ended up taking all four kids with on the exploration of the dirt path. It really wasn't very long but the kids had a blast riding on the dirt through the woods.
This week we also realize that Lucius needed a new bike. The old one was getting small, his knees were bent all the time and the seat couldn't go any higher. Its a 20' inch bike so I started looking for 24" bikes. I found a few but they all sold before I could even contact the seller. Uncle Hung is really good at finding things, so he offered to take over the search! He found Lucius a new bike. When he brought it over, it was practically the same size as the old bike, till I realized the new one we could raise the seat and it had gears. Hooray!!
On Friday's we've been joining the neighbors down the block for the MPR neighborhood sing at 5:55pm. This week is was "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. I had both boys happy to join me in singing with our friends.
I also made progress this week on my cross stitch... slow and steady it's getting closer.
