Keep safe all

I hope your recovery goes well.

We have younger teenagers and with school most likely cancelled for the year we’ve decided to try to have some sort of structure to their days.

1. Exercise (1 hour a day)
2. Get your hands dirty (helping to paint their bedrooms and reg. Household chores.
3. Do something charitable (helping at the food bank, help a neighbor.
4. Learn (enrolling in them in free online courses, they help to choose).
5. Socialize with friends using social distancing.
6. Time to be kids and chill.

We give them the choice as to how to structure their day, but our expectation is that that they complete all of the above each day.

This is a difficult time for everyone but I think kids do best with a bit of structure built into their day.

Monopoly. Old school but cutthroat. Watching all of the Marvel movies with my son. I never did see Trinity Wars until last night. He hasn't seen Ant Man... Stay healthy.

Antman and the sequel are hilarious.
