I haven't been posting on here as much because each day is basically the same, so if you want a schedule, look back at the first few posts. 😛
Things that have changed a little bit are:
-we have been walking up to the local high school up the street for free school lunch distribution because groceries are still in low stock, so it has helped boost us for healthy snacks and food for the kids. They provide a daily breakfast and lunch, and milk.
-I have just started incorporating Alan's school's provided online resources into his learning time. They sent a note home at the end of last week about how they had plans to "ramp up" the distance learning, but I have not seen any changes so far. At this point as far as I know, all of his school work is still optional and not being graded. So we will keep on keeping on! Had a little bit of tears from Alan today as he was getting overwhelmed with me getting on his case about completing his work. I explained that this is the situation we HAVE to do right now, and I am one person teaching him. He has one teacher at school teaching many kids, so he does get in trouble for not completing work, but they don't get on his case the same way I do, I suppose. We are learning together how to learn together. It is a work in progress, and we are both trying our best. I know from teacher friends that this is a difficult time for parents, teachers, and students alike.

Nora's virtual preschool is learning about community helpers all this week, so we are going to be sending letters and pictures to different helpers in our community. Nora loves firetrucks and ambulances and the like, so this will be a fun week for her, I hope.
Both kids overall are doing well with the cards we are being dealt with right now. We all have our own struggles, but overall, this is a positive thing, I think.
Keep on staying healthy, happy, and safe!
Here are some pictures from the past week:
