School Time

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00736

I’ve got to hand it to our kids. This past year was a rough one with so many changes in the world and so much changed at school. The kids do a hybrid model of schooling where they are home one day and at school the next. Andy and Eva have both settled into this new model and are both doing very well. Eva has always been pretty self sufficient and so I am not surprised at her response to the changes. She does her work and spends a lot of time getting school work or projects done each day. There are many projects that she continues to work on.

Andy has really impressed me this year. He’s gotten all of his schoolwork done. He gets his Zoom classes set up and works very hard on projects. He’s even doing more artistic projects lately because he just loves creating with clay. He takes care of getting his own lunches most of the time. When he does need help it is with things that he wants to cook like mac and cheese or his favorite, an omelet. He was on a HUGE omelet kick for a while there.

Both kids got right back into school after the Christmas break and we are glad to be back into a routine and also able to continue to go to Karate and Krav. It is the consistency that the kids are craving and if there is none they make their own. Luckily they have been doing pretty well choosing things to do with their time.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
