On Friday we let the kids do whatever they wanted. We watched all 4 Minion movies! And played some VR.

We Slept in on Saturday! My favorite part of Quarantining FOR SURE. Then we cleaned the house. Vacuumed the upstairs while Ben made muffins and then we vac, swept and mopped the main level! (knowledge Bowl for Rose was cancelled, youth breakfast was cancelled, cali soccer was cancelled, RSL home game was cancelled so we had a FREE day) We did a little work outside and We even had time to change the light bulb that had been burnt out for 2 years! and get the toys out of the hanging light in the entry!!

We found a spot for the RING TOSS game that we got at Christmas!

And Ben and Benji set up the new soccer goal/net from Christmas!

The Soccer Net is awesome!!!!

Luckily I don’t have to come up with the curriculum. The teachers have been so great! and my kids have been so great!

As if the Corona Virus QUARANTINE wasn’t enough to have us on edge – WE WOKE UP WEDNESDAY morning to an EARTHQUAKE!

Magnitude 5.7 earthquake 3 miles from Magna, UT · Mar 18, 7:09 AM

I was getting an early start on my first day of “homeschooling” and taking a bath. The entire house shook back and forth. I though a truck had rammed the house and someone was trying to break down the bathroom door. All of the kids woke up! Luckily it was just small enough not to do any damage! The center was in Magna Utah.

There were afterschocks throughout the rest of the day but Ben felt one of them and that was that!

Lego Masters is a new show that is out. I think it is helping my kids be better Lego Masters! Packer was the host and told them they had to build a JOKE:

Now we’d been asked to keep gatherings to 10 or less and to Stay at home as much as possible!

March 16 and 17 the kids were home but the teachers hadn’t had time to prep any home schooling so we had play and prep days! It was good to be home and get organized and so weird not to be able to or need to do anything on our normal schedule. No work, no school, no sports , no play practice, no tutoring, no institute, no visits or youth nights, NOTHING!

I cleared off the magnet board to make a new home plan! The kids PLAYED SCHOOL! Art Class, Drama, PE, Robotics – you know, the fun subjects:

Tuesday was St Patricks Day!

SOCIAL DISTANCING?? establising our rules…

Ben made yummy Reuben Sandwiches and Shamrock Shakes!! and I made the Green Lime Cake for Lunch!

HOME CHURCH was pretty awesome! Ben and the kids waited for me and they had everything planned. After dinner we had sacrament meeting and then Primary!

It was really nice having church as a family. Sacrament was sacred and spiritual. And not wearing shoes really wasn’t even the best part. This family is the best!

Ben worked from home – to babysit and to stay away from the office to not spread germs. These guys went to the theater and watched Onward! and Cali played her last indoor game adn Ben made some creative foods on our corona food storage stash.

On Sunday the kids kept asking when I would be home so Ben finally put it on the TV for them to track my phone location:

And when I finally got home at 6:30 they were all waiting for me at the corner!
