Happy 11th birthday Dio! We opened presents in the morning. He was absolutely positive that he was getting new wheels for his scooter (and he was). So just to fool him, we bought two cans of tuna and wrapped them up in the wheel packaging. After he opened the tuna and a package of Mentos, we said, "Okay, that's it. Happy birthday!" He tried really hard not to look disappointed.
Then we started laughing and sent him on a treasure hunt for his "real" presents: scooter wheels and a skateboard (super cheap basic one because that's all we could find during quarantine).
Dio's cake was a variation on the same quarantine cake we made for Ivy's and my birthdays. But I was able to buy a bag of sour string candy for him to decorate with. He said it was a watermelon-themed scooter wheel.
We pulled wood scraps out of our attic and let the kids play "carpenter" in the afternoon. The kids were surprised at how difficult it was to cut wood by hand.
Distance school starts again tomorrow after a 2-week holiday. We've kept doing school to break up the monotony of quarantine. It's usually just a few worksheets in the morning.
