Week 5 of Covid isolation is now behind us and we are heading into week #6. Week 5 was exciting - we celebrated Passover with a Seder dinner and Easter with a traditional egg hunt. We got some pets in the form of an ant farm and caterpillars that will turn into butterflies that we will let loose.
Some adventure here as we try to transfer the ~30 ants from the tube they arrived in to the farm where the will make there homes. It was all going well until the ants decided they didn't want to go down the funnel into their farm and instead started crawling up and out of the paper funnel I had made.
It was a little touch and go as Darcy and I had to capture any escaped ants and get them into the farm but I think we got most of them in finally.
A few days later we had a fully functioning farm with tunnels and all (although a lot have died).
And here are the caterpillars shortly after they arrived and about a 7 days later - boy have they grown! They are easier to care for.
Moving on from the bugs, here are the girls all dressed for the Seder dinner in celebration of Passover.
GJ and Bobpa joined us via Skype as we recounted the story of the Jews being liberated from slavery in ancient Egypt.
The following day being Easter we were visited by the Easter Bunny.
The girls stayed busy with their virtual school assignments - Emily has been learning to draw watching lots of online tutorials.
It was Mrs. Fantasia's (Emily's kinder. teacher) Birthday. In celebration the class surprised her with a socially distant car parade through the school parking lot. Emily made this banner in celebration.
Onward to week 6!!
