Most of March
Evelyn has been taking her piano practice very seriously.
I rearranged the schoolroom. I love rearranging furniture. Fortunately I can do it as much as I like in this room. :)
Game time.
Love my baby little plants. A tiny bit of green growing while all outside looks dreary. Maybe they will survive and go in the ground in a few months time!
A chill moment. Evelyn hoping up on the counter to get something.
Interesting pose by Mr. Gorilla. Never know what you find when you wander into a room!
Sleepy girl getting ready for the day.
Art work. Occasionally I remember to clean up the cork board, and it fills up again pretty quickly!
The princess.
Nathan's latest creation.
Philip's latest creation. Everyone should use their ensuite (if they have one) for wine making and bike storage. That way it seems like a more useful space.
Saturday morning have turned a bit more casual, and everyone starts (and makes) their own breakfast once they are showered and ready. A bit of a slow start, but I love it when the kids make their own food.:)
Church got cancelled in March. We started a routine of going for a walk between livestream services on the golf course. Nice to be in a big space for getting fresh air.
Kinda chilly for a long walk though!
Evelyn is a scary driver. Jennifer is too, when she gets the chance. I'm glad they aren't anywhere near 16 yet.
Nathan made me a chickadee.
Matthew made me a boat.
Jennifer made me a wooden shoe, including a quote from a book I was reading to her and Evelyn.
Melanie took a break from fabric and made me a hanger for necklaces.
Evelyn made me a storage box. Or I could take the lid off and plant flowers in.
Daniel didn't make me anything, but he helped a few people that did. I'm a spoiled Mom!
Daniel got sick of having the door bang him when he climbed into his bed. So he marched into the workhop, snatched up a saw and hammer
and made himself a ladder. I did eventually intervene and insist that for the sake of the floor he put something underneath it to prevent scratching. He is still using that ladder!!
Melanie's break from sewing only lasts until the next inspiration occurs. Boredom feeds creativity sometimes!
Another weekly walk. Hoping this lockdown is just gonna be a few weeks.
Evelyn loves playing lego. Her style is rather different than Nathan's. It means "playing house" with the lego people. Nathan thinks it means building a motor that runs and does something just like a full size version.
A extra big picnic table to fit a lot of lego people.
I'm not sure that the girls are making a whole lot of progress emptying the ice rink as it melts.
But they are getting enough slush and mud to make a mess in the sandbox. Ew!

Thanks for sharing these photos and information. I continue to be impressed with the kids ingenuity and artistry. Nathan's chickadee and Melanie's necklace rack are both very impressive!
