Back to Remote Learning

This last week was pretty much same old same old. I think Thursday night the Boise School District decided to go back to remote learning after Thanksgiving break until mid January. I'm disappointed because having kids in person is much better but I think it's probably the wise choice. It's so much harder to get the kids to turn in their work online. I love just making them get their work done when they are in person. Oh well. Meanwhile for now West Ada has the kids K-5 going to school full time now. I don't know how long that will last. Gabby and Corbin get to go back to school this week since they've been on a forced quarantine. 

The Millers came over and Scott hosted a Dungeons and Dragons game. Most of the kids dressed up and had medieval food and adventure. Corbin rolled the dice and his Fighter was stricken with a magical sickness. Gabby's Cipher (psychic warrior) tried to find some berries to make an antidote but lost her footing and was washed downstream in a freezing river, so Piper's Druidess (shape-shifting sorceress) had to transform herself into a Unicorn (of course) to chase after and rescue her. Then the whole group returned to their camp to find it overrun by bandits and had to use their powers together to fend them off and rescue the poor caravaners they were traveling with. Lastly, they had to escape into some ancient ruins from a mysterious and deadly storm of purple wind which disintegrated anyone left un-sheltered, as nearly happened to Corbin again due to an unlucky roll of the dice. Then they celebrated surviving their first adventure by enjoying (no really!) Scott's homemade Quince cobbler with Vanilla ice cream. Epic Night!

Nothing much else to report. Just one more week until Thanksgiving break! I'm excited. Scott only has Thursday off so we will do our own Thanksgiving more than likely. I'm really really really tempted to get out the Christmas stuff ASAP. I just might. That's all! 

Creepy

So it begins!
