We are on day six of quarantine and the kids would really like to get out to a playground or see some friends. We are all feeling much better from our cold.

Cannon had a doctors appointment previously booked and his doctor encouraged us to take a PCR test and continue to quarantine until those results came back. So at least one more day for us. This same situation happened last year where Cannon was exposed at school in November, he got sick and we waited nervously for his test results. Luckily it was negative last year but he didn’t get to go back to school in person until the very end of January! This year he will be out of school for 18 days regardless of test result but will hopefully get to go back for two weeks before Christmas.

We are enjoying having Cannon home to do school with us. Our unit was focusing on Apples.

My favorite part of the day is snack and story time. The kids enjoy their afternoon snack at the end of ‘school time’ while I get my afternoon coffee and ready them a couple books.

None of this is ideal but there are some sweet silver linings, and like my mug says, Together is the best place to be!
