Ahhh, a great day. I went running after I dropped Inga and Ivy off at school. I worked in the morning, then took a nice long lunch break with the kids.
Two-hour lunches are the best. The kids have time to come home, eat a good lunch, play together, and generally reconnect as a family unit.
After lunch, I left Eric (passed out on the couch) to drop off the kids back at school. Then...best part of the day...I went to the beach to read for an hour and bask in the sun. Eric joined me after he woke up from his nap.
Later in the afternoon I took care of paperwork. Yay.
The kids did homework after school with two different sets of siblings. One set of siblings live directly across from us. We can see into each others' living rooms and last year during confinement we flew paper airplanes back and forth between our windows! The other set of siblings are twins and Dio's best friends.
Eric made dinner: salad, then savory crêpe filled with raw cured ham, Emmental, & egg. We call those crêpes JFOs (Jambon-Fromage-Oeuf).
Dessert was ice cream floats with a French twist. Peach syrup (sirop de pêche) + sparkly water + vanilla ice cream. Apparently Eric spent a long time in his early 20s, when he was living in the south of France, perfecting the perfect ice cream float ingredient combination.
We watched President Macron's speech this evening about the status of the national lockdown. We have a multi-stage re-opening process beginning Nov 28, stepping up Dec 15, and ending Jan 20--if covid-19 numbers stay low enough. In just a few days, we'll be able to travel within 20 km of our residence and be outdoors for 3 hours. Yay hiking! Right now we have to stay within 1 km of where we live.
Just for fun...some random pictures of a dinosaur that Zari created for art class back in the US.
