Day 2 of social distancing: Mother's Day

I was so looking forward to going out for a cream tea for Mother's Day today, but will have to try that again another time.

We still had a lovely day at home with the sun being out. More gardening: we planted tomato, cucumber, courgette and sweetcorn seeds plus some more sunflower seeds, all still in the greenhouse. We're going to have a full garden!

Isabella has been spending a lot of time on the trampoline.

And instead of scones, Andre and Isabella baked a Mother's Day cake in the afternoon while I relaxed with a book in the sunshine.

Tomorrow it is work and 'school' for us at home. Isabella is actually very excited to be doing school work at home and can't wait to get started. I need to read through the planning her teachers sent home, but I know we'll have more than enough to keep us busy with educational activities. Luckily she enjoys that.

We have a bit of a schedule ready for weekdays, although it will be flexible and is just to help us get back on track if things start getting a bit tricky or if Isabella gets bored. It's something we can then refer back to for ideas.

The sheet at the top is from The Organised Mum Blog and is where we write down things
we'd like to do during the day so we don't forget. Also a bit of meal planning. But all open
to change. The sheet below is a list of things Isabella can pick from of things to do.

A slightly more detailed routine for the day, but all it basically says is Isabella to try play
on her own and once that fails mum or dad to take turns playing and working. With a bit
of screen time in between of course to help us out.
