Today we are officially half way done with our trip. I know, the blog is called six months abroad, we always planned to fly back on Day 178. As much as I’d love to be home right now, I’m actually kinda sad that we are half way done.
For the last three weeks, we have sheltered in place with our kids. It has been very challenging, especially since we are sheltering in place in a foreign country. The kids have had pretty good spirits about it, and I am sure I’m going to miss them when they go back to school in a couple weeks.
To pass the time, we have been having a lot of dance parties, and I let the kids watch music videos on YouTube. They love Michael Jackson music videos and our oldest is determined to learn the moonwalk. She was frustrated with not mastering it immediately and I sat her down and told her how long it took me to learn how to juggle a soccer ball. My mom called it my stupid human trick, a nod to David Letterman. I told her that I would juggle a soccer ball after school for hours every day, and I’d juggle all day during the summer, I was obsessed and it sadly didn’t get me anywhere save for kids calling me a show off, 😫.
She ended up watching videos about how to moonwalk and the boys joined in for a solid 90 seconds.
The kids wrote nice messages in chalk in front of our house, did some reading and journaling and then we went upstairs to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Then we sent them to bed. 😀**
