monday started our first week of completely virtual school for trev. mom had brought down a small desk for him that we put in his room so he could stay away from his sister. he had a schedule where about each hour would be a different subject/teaching thing. so he'd be on a virtual meeting on his school ipad for 20-25 minutes with his teacher and classmates, and then he'd have some individual work to do on his own, either worksheets or on the ipad. he'd usually have some free time between that and the next thing. he and i went outside for his second recess every day since it was during tova's nap time. his lunch time was about 1ish so tova and he were eating lunch at different times. Al was off monday and tuesday and got our garage door fixed and lots of his selling on ebay stuff done.
wednesday was no school, so after some crafts (and after it warmed up a bit) we went and picked up cam and chloe and went to beaver creek for a hike. it was super nice out and we had fun! we played at the 2 parks for a bit and did the smaller loop hike. the creek was partially frozen so that was fun for the kids! we picked up lunch on our way home since we were pretty late getting back. then tova went down for a late nap. trevor still had club invention at 3pm for an hour then we went back outside for a walk and to play until dark since it was so nice out.
thursday was virtual school again and nice out again so we went for a short walk and played out front in the morning (chalk, bikes) and back outside after nap: we went for a longer walk and then met matt, jodi, and the kids at the school park to play until dark.
friday morning we all had dentist appointments. we ate breakfast quick and headed up to bloomer. Al and the kids were first and had great checkups. tova even let them get xrays but wasn't sure about the cleaning/polishing and did not like the water squirter or straw sucker thing. :) then Al took them to a small park while i had my appointment. we then stopped at the bloomer bakery for a donut before heading back home for trevor to get on his virtual school. matt, jodi and kids came over for supper friday night. the kids had venison tacos and the adults had chicken enchiladas. jodi and i ran baby easton home to fall creek and stopped at the store we love there, reimagine.
saturday morning we went hiking up to chippewa moraine again with matt, jodi, kids and jodi's parents, debbie and dan-o. it was a beautiful day and only a little windy/chilly. the frozen ponds were pretty and cool sounding and the kids and dads even went "skating" on one. tova had her first pee outside because she wouldn't go pee in her diaper! (we've been trying out potty training but she usually goes in her undies but then really doesn't like that it's wet.) after hiking, we drove through the area for a bit which was gorgeous, grabbed some lunch and headed home for a short, late nap for tova. jodi, deb, and i ran to joann fabrics quick and i picked out the fleece for tova's carseat poncho that deb is making for her. then we just had a relaxing night at home.
sunday morning we got up early, ate breakfast, nana came down and we headed to wausau. our first stop was rogalla's tree farm (rogallas are Al's extended family, peter's cousins.) we were one of only 2 families there and they had free horse rides. the kids loved the horse rides and got lots of rides. tova rode the miniature horse named Pete, trevor rode the giant fluffy footed horse named midnight, and both kids rode together in the cart pulled by patches. they also got to pet the miniature horse baby who was only 3 months old, named teeny short for quaranteenie. after the tree farm we met auntie althea and liam at rib mountain for hiking again. it was a bit chilly up on top of the mountain but we had fun! and we got to see skiiers and snowboarders since they're making snow on the runs. then we had lunch in the car, stopped by briq's for ice cream, and drove home. once home, we laid tova down for a quick little nap and nana headed home.
monday was back to work for Al and virtual school for trevor. we did some crafts inbetween classes and played downstairs for recess. the kids' elf brought them matching christmas pajamas.
