The day before spring break, all of the first grade classes got together for a Zoom launch party! I got to pick three activities to do in what’s called a Breakout Room. One thing I did was do some magic with a toothpick and tape.
I also did a game called Freeze Dance! That one was led by my very own teacher, Ms. Murphy!
Milo was in my kindergarten class and is also in my online 1st grade class. Exactly one year and one day after I last saw him, I went to his backyard to play! His brother, Max, is really fun, too.
Because of the ice storm that hit West Linn, we were out of power for 5 days!
We did stuff like eat cheese quesadillas in the dark…
…And play with water and syringes in the sink.
I hung out with Fluffy, who just happens to glow different colors.
We also had to go buy stuff sometimes. We parked our car across the street and found all sorts of obstacles getting there.
One of the things we bought was an inverter to hook up to our car battery. I waited patiently in this cardboard box while Mommy and Daddy hooked it up.
After the inverter was hooked up, we had enough electricity to charge our computer!
We didn’t have internet, but I found this awesome dinosaur game that showed up on any Chrome page without internet.
On what turned out to be our last night without power, we drove to Oregon City and ate delicious hot pizza in our warm car.
The forecast said to expect snow, but instead, we had little bits of ice falling from the sky. After a while, ice covered everything!
I went outside and slipped and slid all over the place. I couldn’t make any snowmen, but I did do some ice sledding!
My online school program hosted a Fun Friendship Game Day on Zoom for Grades 1 through 5. It was really fun!
I got to choose a bunch of games to play. One of them was Valentine’s Day Bingo.
For the Scavenger Hunt, I had to find something yellow. I got a yellow Lego!
Grandma and Grandpa got me a rocket for Hanukkah. Today, we launched it!
I spent some time building one of my new Lego sets…
…and launching the Space Shuttle Endeavor!
On Christmas morning, I woke up and immediately went to admire all of my gifts!
Sunnie was also in the holiday spirit, hanging out in her Christmas RV.
After we opened all of our presents, Finley took a nap on his high shelf.
Leading up to Christmas, I opened up a small gift in my Advent house every day of December. Some of the gifts I got were these little Lego cats!
Here is a video of my Christmas day! Thank you for the gifts, Nana and Papa, Aunt Lisa & Uncle Ryan, Uncle Mike & Aunt Sarah, Mommy and Daddy, and Santa!
All of a sudden, the cats started fighting a whole bunch and Sunnie spent her days hiding under the bed again.
We think it’s because Mommy cleaned the living room and it was too big and spacious. So we re-filled it with boxes, baskets, and a puzzle feeder and now they’re (almost) friends again.
