Today our second oldest child wanted to make colorful pancakes, so we blew off the morning video school instruction and Bonnie mixed a bunch of pancake batter into ziplock bags with different food coloring. The kids loved it, and it was a nice break from the monotony of video school, assigned homework, and uploading workContinue reading “Day 98”

We stayed in all day. Here’s a photo of our dinner. G nite. *

On Sunday, while we were at church, the parents in our third child’s first grade class voted to have the first graders class room video instruction between 5pm to 630pm. We would not have voted on that, and if we had made the vote, we still would have lost. All day, from 9am to 630Continue reading “Day 96”

Today is Sunday. We had a great breakfast in the morning. The store across the street makes beans and rice and we cooked the beans in a pan and then mashed them. The kids can’t get enough of that. Bonnie made chiliquiles, fried eggs, rice, beans and fried tortillas. I will not be coming homeContinue reading “Day 95”

This morning we ate pancakes and bacon. We cleaned the house, did a few loads of laundry and we let the kids watch too many movies. After lunch I may have fallen asleep for an hour. I have not been sleeping well, it’s been a little stressful over here being cooped up. I think aboutContinue reading “Day 94”

Today was a really fun day. The kids did home school in the morning while I worked for a few hours. I usually have a documentary on or a tv show I’ve seen before in the back ground playing. Writing wills and trusts isn’t criminal defense work, it can be… boring. Today my documentary ofContinue reading “Day 93”

Today was a great day. Kids home schooled for a while. I got a lot of work done. We did not watch Harry Potter because we are a little tired of watching so much tv. But lo and behold, here are my two youngest kids with Death Eater tattoos on their left forearms. What it’sContinue reading “Day 92”

We spent all day today lounging around. In the morning, Bonnie showed me a video of a reporter explaining that the schools will be shut down for the remainder of the school year in the state we are living in. We aren’t surprised that they made that decision. It’s a little frustrating that we areContinue reading “Day 91”

This week and last week is the kids spring break from school. Of course they don’t go back to school until May, but still, we are trying to homeschool them. Bonnie is doing a great job trying to keep a schedule going. The courts are expecting to be closed until June, I was planning toContinue reading “Day 90”

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 haveContinue reading “Day 89: Half Way”
