The govenor of NH has declared that all schools in NH are to be closed for the next few weeks. My kids have mixed feelings about it: we've talked some about covid 19 and they have an understanding appropriate for their ages, but they are going to miss their friends. They don't understand why we can't have a bunch of playdates or go to a movie or out to lunch. We're going to be discussing it again and again in the next weeks.
But here's what we can do. We can read books. We can do crafts and color pictures. We can bake. We can play catch outside and practice soccer goals. We can take walks and check out the wildlife. We can watch movies. Heck, we can even have some electronic time. We can have family time.
Is it going to be all sunshine and roses? If you've met my kids, you know the answer to that. 😉 But it doesn't have to be all bad. It's going to be whatever we make of it. They're will be tears (mostly mine), laughter (hopefully a ton of giggles), yelling (because there's 3 of them), and memories made.
Stay strong, village. I love you all.
