Last day of school...winter break is here!

The boys finished school for the year and are on winter break for the next few weeks. We are really proud of their flexibility with remote school, and so thankful for their teachers and school that have done a great job with online education. The boys each have 3 zoom calls a day for various subjects and then finish the remainder of daily assignments during the day. They still need guidance and help, but they have become so much more independent. Eliza sometimes likes to say hi to their classmates, and will pop in from time to time.

We celebrated the end of school and start of winter break with ice cream from a favorite place near our house. We brought home a variety of flavors and the store gave us cones.
The boys have been wanting to sleep together, so they had a slumber party last night. They were awake pretty late talking and woke us up at 4:30am talking and Caleb was reading! There will be naps in store for all the kids today :).
Winter break ends on 4 January, and we were hoping they would be able to start going back in-person  part-time again after the break. However the government recently announced that online learning will continue until 22 January with a 3 week break following, so we think they will have remote school until at least 15 February. In the meantime, we will enjoy the downtime and have some fun!
