Monday.

We had quite a rainy night last night, but then quite a nice day today. Both teacher sent a day by day breakdown of the work the kids need to do, and I was so grateful for it (last week Ellie and I tackled a huge lesson over a few days, when it should have been a week or more's work.) It comes in a check list form, which is helpful in having the kids pick what they want to do from the chart of things that need to be done every day. We had some minor technical glitches with Ellie's work this morning but managed to get back on track, and I told her that we're all learning together, we're doing the best we can. We may be like this until the end of the school year, so the earlier we can get on the same page at Salazar Schoolhouse, the better life will be, for the kids and for their only semi-competent instructor.

As you can see, Adam is turning into a real furball. He needed a hair cut probably two weeks ago, and now with salons being closed, we decided we'd just use Tim's clippers to fix him up at home. However, since we're doing nearly a shave, we asked him if he'd like to make a website and raise money for children's cancer research and then we can make a big video when we buzz his hair. He was very sweet and said yes (though initially hoped he would get all the money raised.) So if, in these weird and scary times, you want to donate a few dollars into trying to make the world a better place for sick kids, may I invite you to click through his link? Please and thank you! Help us make some lemons out of lemonade.
