We are finishing the 5th week of lockdown and everyone is doing well! The kids (and we) are getting the hang of online school, and it getting smoother. We have a good routine during the week for school, alternating work schedules, ordering groceries, piano, and lots of time outside, and then we have lazy weekends since the country goes on complete lockdown from Thursday at curfew until Sunday at 1000. The government announced we these conditions will remain until after Ramadan at the least, so we are embracing this time since we have another 4-6 weeks likely to go. We may even start taking small walks in the afternoon because there seems to be people outside that are not getting groceries, to include families that are taking walks.
Happy day when fruits and veggies arrived from my favorite place that just got their permit to deliver!
We had too many lemons, so we made lemon with mint juice.
In exciting news, Nathan put the legos back in the boys' room and it has been a huge hit! They have been away for a long time, and the boys have been really happy to play with them again. So far, Eliza seems to be leaving them alone and the boys are doing a good job making sure their small parts go back in the drawers when they are done playing.
This week the boy's school had a virtual talent show. Caleb read poetry and Benjamin played the piano. Here's is Caleb's poetry reading. Yesterday, we watched the show. It was creative of the school to do this, and the kids enjoyed watching their friends' showcase their talents.
Other happy news is Nathan aired up the boys' bike tires and they have really enjoyed riding their bikes again. They ride in the yard and down in the garage under our building.
Nathan built the boys a bike rack with some spare wood. He is always busy creating something.
Yesterday we tried making a gingerbread house we received before Christmas.
It has been a good week, and we are ready for week 6...and probably another 4-6 to go.

Looks as if you are all making the most of the lock down. Well done Caleb! Good reading. The bikes are a good activity and with the short hair the wind resistance is less! We like the hair cuts. Keep chillin' and keep up all the fun things and the necessary things too.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma P.
Lockdown or not, the Purcell family is in full swing. Loved your poetry reading Caleb :) Fun and active days. Twixie is such a good sport, wait until Eliza joins in the fun.
