Quarantine Weeks 8 & 9 - Completed

Found this message on Regan's board. :)  Next photo: Snail found on my walk w/ Morgan this am.


Regan tried Oatmeal Raisin cookies from the Quaker Oaks recipe. Half the batter made w/ choc chips! She's managing to smile through the pain - 1st visit to Ortho in mos. - rubber bands added to the mix!!

My quiet time.  Enjoyed working on my 2nd puzzle...M likes to help me at the end. One missing piece.
School update:  In RELA, M & I have read 2 books during "Quarantine school". We have one more week reading City of Ember.  In Math, we have been learning about measurements (including volume and capacity - cups, pints, quarts, and gallons). I seemed to miss this in grade school - so, I'm helping & learning at the same time!! :)  We did some "hands on" practicing of measuring by trying the Whataburger brand pancakes. [Didn't taste a difference.]  In Science, M has been learning about non- & renewable resources, including recyclables.  She also had a unit on electricity and circuits.






Last week, the girls and I went to pick up my car in The Woodlands.  So, we added a few stops along the way:  Dunkin Donuts, new shoes for Regan, a "free new tank" w/ shoe purchase (that I hope to steal from R) and a stop into Tyler's for a few new t-shirts and shorts!
