Monarchs and Back in School

 These pictures uploaded out of order. Oh well.
Will being silly in the pickup line. He was listening to songs on the radio and then telling us what they mean. It was hysterical. He's a pretty funny kid when he's in a good mood.
Tyler came down with a runny nose and cough the first weekend after school started. For a moment we were afraid it was COVID-19, but it's not. Our doctor confirmed it was just a sinus/allergy type thing. But Lee wasn't taking any chances since his classes start this week, so he wore a mask around the house. 


My Monarchs. (heart) I have about 23 chrysalids right now. It's pretty fun. And the most I've ever had!

I love watching the kids get interested and check on them all the time.

I laughed outloud when I saw this meme. Oh 2020. You have been a year.


I finally hung up my hammock swing and I sat there for hours one Saturday. Like hours and hours. I read a book, took a nap, it was just perfection. And of course I could overlook the monarchs. haha.

Oh Amy. On her 2nd to last day of distance learning, I realized I hadn't heard from her in awhile. She usually came out of her room between classes but I hadn't seen her. So I went to go check... well, she missed those classes! ha! Luckily her video wasn't on, and they had to complete assignments to be counted there, so it didn't really matter.

For a youth activity we held a drive thru root beer float thing and asked for donations for our local Veterans hospital. We got so many donations. It was so awesome.


I got my official Monarch Waystation sign! Woohoo!

Will sometimes writes music. It will be interesting to see if this progresses!

And Will... oh Will..... he has been listening to the staff at school say if you feel sick, have a runny nose, have a fever, etc you cannot come to school. Well, he didn't want to go to school, so he decided he had a runny nose. He wasn't sick at all, of course. He tried to get out of it at home but we told him he was going. Well, an hour into school the nurse called. She said, "I know he isn't really sick, but we have a zero tolerance policy this year and he's been sniffing, so you will have to come get him." I was livid. Not with the school, I understand their policy. But with him. So when I picked him up, and would hardly speak for fear I would say something I would regret, he decided he better say a quick prayer for his safety. I made him work hard all day at home and let me tell you, he will NOT be pulling that shenanigan's again. Good grief. This day and age he cold have created an entire school shut down! I laugh about it now, but I was not laughing about it that day.

Now the kids are all back in school. Amy had her first full day and had a great time. Kids adapt really well and don't seem to care about wearing a mask. Who knows if school will get shut down again. It probably will. But until then, I'm going to enjoy my solitude at home. :) After 5 months, I think I deserve it. ha!
