We're getting closer to winter. The goldfish pond froze over! Just a small layer of ice.
We had a big day. There was packing to do, costumes to put on. Grampa set the table Thursday night. He bought supplies in town.
Breakfast, and then dress up, and clean up, and pack. "Gramma, can you help me 'put on my face? That's what you always say!" I helped Isabelle with her make up.10:10 a.m. – I heard this from down the hall, "You're being too loud!" I went down to see what was wrong. Apparently, everyone was talking at once in their Google Meet.
ISABELLE: (to me, rolling her eyes) "The teacher did nothing."
"You've got one job," she says, shaking her finger at the teacher on the creen!
A note from Momma, at home, confirmed by the girls, the teacher's internet was wonky. There was a note on Twitter, too. The Google Meets just weren't working.
Some of our schools are experiencing technical issues this morning, which means that some of our #OCV educators are having trouble getting into Google Meets. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this. Students should continue with asynchronous work for now. pic.twitter.com/D33v9LTboa

Papa was getting snow tires on, so we had to wait until he was done. We had assembled all the luggage.Caitlin texted at 3 p.m. that they were done, but Jos was in the middle of finishing something. She was done at 4, and off we went for the hostage exchange.
Grampa and I slept in until 8 a.m. on Saturday. It was a great week, and we worked hard, and did really well.
This is the 19th week we've had the girls since last March Break, mid-March.

you did work hard and really well and in years to come will look back and wonder how you both managed to do all this, for weeks on end. Love, an inner spirit full of enthusiasm, and the knowing that you make such a difference to home schooling for the girls. They, too, will think of these weeks in years to come.Stay warm when the heat goes down!!!
...some spooky critter in your school.
Glad you were able to do this. We met our grands for a short walk in the park yesterday.
You get to rest up this week!
I do love those costumes. Looks like they were having a blast!
Costumes and face look amazing.
All the best Jan
Glad the week went so well. It's amazing how they're set up for the online learning.
Those girls are going to think of you as their parents! When they are older, and COVID is something that happened "back then" their stay with you is going to be the stuff of legend to their children.
