The McGinnis Family

When we first realized that everyone was going to move to virtual we had great plans of an efficient schedule, more free time for the kids during the day, and lots of family time.  I saw the posts from the other moms who had started staying home before us.  You know, the posts about outdoor picnics and amazing crafts and enough chocolate chip cookies to feed the neighborhood.  They looked so cozy and at ease. Ours has gone a little more like this...

After several years of not blogging, the current state of the world and Coronavirus has prompted me to dust off the old blog and use it as a platform for the kids to show what they have been working on and how they are adapting to this crazy times in our life.  I'm hoping that they will jump on here and do some of the blogging themselves so that later they can read their experiences from their own perspectives.  They are journaling, working on school work, celebrating the good days and getting through the bad days, and looking for ways to engage with the world that they have been cut off from during this stay-at-home time.
