Second half of March

The second half of March would have been worthwhile skipping. We spent a day of spring break visiting a friend. It was a great visit, but we all regret the dinner we had at the restaurant. Only Daniel, Jennifer, Evelyn and I went (and ate there) and all four of got sick, with very typical food poisoning symptoms. Daniel:

Evelyn:

Jennifer:

Me. Finally feeling good enough for Jello. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I can still remember how delicious it was. Amazing.

Feeling weak...the kids sat in the sun soaking up vitamins while I did my best to read out loud to them...I couldn't handle it for too long though.

Felling better! :) Yay!

So nice to see the kids pick up their energy and interest in life (and books--especially the Bible!!) once again!

Evelyn got an art wall started on her side of the room.

I had to move my houseplants over to make room for my outdoor plants.

Yup, they are taking up a lot of space.

And since spring break was over and we were feeling ok, it was time for schoolwork again!

Hard at work!

I spent a lot of time in March reorganizing things. Wow! Look at that neat arrangement! Often things get out of hand, so it's nice to remember when it isn't that way. ;)

After that break of good health. Evelyn got sick. This time it was covid. But we didn't know right away since the test said negative.

After a pretty high fever she was up and at 'em again soon.

Keeping busy! So nice to see her recovered...again.

Spreading germs...oops...I mean playing a game together.

Daniel hung on to his bowl for dear life when his turn started. I tried convince him that it was a different kind of sickness, and he mostly just had a fever, but he wasn't convinced.

Melanie looking healthy. For now.

Next one with the fever. :( Jennifer did manage to get some reading in...it's only her third or fourth time reading this book, so I guess she doesn't need to concentrate too hard. ;)

The rink was officially finished for the year, so I let the water out at the end of the month. It was a good skating year. I only resurfaced the ice once, maybe twice. It stayed frozen most of the winter!
