Britton is living her best quarantine life, though she (like all of us) is getting a little tired of it. It's been almost 2 months since we went on our Spring Break ski trip to Angel Fire, and we have been socially distancing ever since we arrived back home. School hasn't been in session since the first week of March, and Britton and her friends have not seen each other in person since then. Every day, she and Barrett do their schoolwork, break for lunch and a bike ride, then spend the afternoon doing something fun, like swimming in the pool or playing on the iPad, while the hubs and I work at the kitchen table. Britton has done a great job keeping up with her schoolwork on her own, and having that daily responsibility has helped her not treat this time as one giant weekend.

| Not late, because there's nowhere to go! |
The swim team season is officially cancelled! We are all bummed, and I'm especially ornery because both Britton and Barrett would have been competing as the oldest kids in their age groups. Perk of those summer birthdays - my almost 11-year-old would have been swimming against 9-year-olds (and 7-year-old Barrett would have been racing 5-year-olds). Only Britton has been showing up to her Zoom dance classes, and the recital got moved to August, but Britton decided she was done with dance. It was a hard decision for her, but in the end she wasn't enjoying the virtual experience, and I understand that. On the flip side, she has taken to her acting/theater classes on Zoom - with the play cancelled, they have changed it up to a twice-weekly acting class, and she loves it!
In school-related news - Britton did get her elective assignment for next year, and she got her second choice.....band!! This tuba-playing mom is not disappointed in the least, and Britton says she is looking forward to learning the flute!

Dislikes: not going anywhere ever and never seeing anyone but the 3 people she lives with
