This is where I am thinking “One day I will home school my children”. NOT!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That was twenty years ago. I have been living like a grown up for two decades now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wrapped up home schooling. Apparently actual schools are going to open up in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the things I thought I would do in my life, home schooling was not on the list. It turned out ok though. There was a lot of yelling, sure, but at the end of the day everyone handed in their assignments. Markus was working with nona which meant on a good day he would finish all work before she showed up so he could get out of doing the lesson. On a bad day they would argue for two hours about having to do twenty minutes of work. Ultimately, his reading improved so I guess it was all worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owen somehow managed to get behind and had two months of assignments to catch up on. I worked with him a lot on this and I am glad I did. It helped me understand what kind of things he finds hard to do and where he gets frustrated. I kept an eye on Trev as well, but once he got used to doing work from home, he was quite independent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also instituted physical ed class and got the boys to bike or take a long walk every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They got really good at it to the point they can go get ice-cream at Britannia beach by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were not able to have friends over to the house, but some ducks came by for a few weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then we have been busy with home renos. The boys are somewhere between fighting and having the best time with each other. Trev made a list of things he wants to accomplish this summer and one of them is to get Markus to like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
