Livin La Vida Lockdown
Livin La Vida Lockdown
Well, I think it’s fair to say as a nation we would be stuffed without our NHS staff, utilities workers and teachers. If lockdown has taught us anything it is that setting a challenging and inspiring curriculum for kids aged 9 and 7 is (eventually) fairly straightforward however, actually following it through whilst holding down jobs is another altogether.
Fortunately, the weather is helping and once our kids have done their 4 hours of home-schooling and had their work checked then they are free to play in the garden. The sun has been out most days and we seem to have invested in just the right number of water balloons to help the kids to make the most of it.
Our kids Adam and Emily are adjusting to being locked into the house all day really well, with only the occasional squabble. We have three birthdays in April (Emily, Me then Adam) over 5 days and need to figure out how to celebrate without bringing in a cast of thousands.
How do you get those last minute party things when you can’t just pop to the shops without a full-on hazmat suit on, or see family who are currently shielding.
More on that soon once we (..or more likely Rachel) has figured something out!
