Decided to take a few sibling photos in front of the school before schools starts tomorrow. School will remote this year – but the kids do get to go tomorrow for a couple hours to pick-up materials and meet their new teachers.

Eric had to add the “s” to the mug above and correct the grammar cause he has two kids at the TBK karate studio. Ivan helped me make Eric brunch waffles, we gifted him a book, and Star Wars art made of perler beads. We got Chinese take out for dinner and the kids watched classic Tom Baker Doctor Who with dad.

Ivan has gotten to do some new things from home during the pandemic. He participated in “May the Fourth” online Star Wars trivia and was proud of his 3rd place finish. Starting in the first week of June, he began playing in an online D&D campaign as Moremash the half orc Barbarian. Last weekend he successfully tested for his brown/green belt over zoom with his karate studio. The second time he’s tested for a new belt (there’s been plenty of time for virtual karate lessons over zoom from our basement). Today he competed in his first virtual chess tournament.

Celebrating at home in our pajamas playing in the large box that our house fan arrived in. It’s not exactly the clap out and end of year picnic but there’s plenty to celebrate.

Ivan is now faster than me after a few blocks. I need to do more jogging and Ivan’s got some speed.

What third grade looks like from home. It was beach clothing spirit day hence the sunglasses and Charlie’s scuba mask.
