Quarantine and Homeschooling week 2!!!

Week two passed without too much Drama, I made a loose schedule back in week 1 and we loosely stuck to it, getting all three kids at the table doesn't always happen, our 14 year old prefers to do school in bed but that is OK as long as she is getting it done, she is also called by her teachers periodically to give her German practice so I'm pretty sure her work is happening as it should.

One drastic thing that changed this week was the weather, week 1 was beautiful going up to 20 degrees, week 2 went way down to about 4-5 degrees with a wind chill making it feel -4 but at least its not snowing again like it did in Germany, I would not have been happy with snow.

Thankfully the sun was shining most of the week so its not all cold and gloomy, Saturday got up to 15 so we managed to go to the empty school yard and play some tennis and bit of soccer.

we are trying to keep the kids schedule similar to their usual school schedule except with a bit more sleep in in the morning(their usual times are to wake up between 6-7) so now its 8 with a school start of 9am which works fairly well, they also have a bit more of a longer lunch time and can finish in the afternoon whenever their work is done.

Another big thing that happened this week was that at Leona's last X-ray on Thursday they decided her harness can come off, its been on for 6 weeks so she is thrilled to finally have it off, she can now wear her shirts normally again, she is not allowed though to put put any weight on it or pick up anything yet which is hard but she seems to be managing, she was also given exercises to do at physio and I'm pretty sure she is not doing them as much as she needs to so every time I see her I make her do them in front of me, its just a matter of time before this is all behind us, I will do a post on what happened in more detail later.

Friday I went out for the first time in almost two weeks and I got quite excited, it was just to go down the road to Leona's physiotherapy appointment but still, I also went into Otto's to grab some shampoo and wow, the changes in the shops that are still open are eerie, but that will be a separate post, here are some pictures of the last week, Stay Healthy :)
