This week we tried something different. We put the kids in the basement. I was finding that it just wasn't working to have them both at the dining room table WITH me... attempting to work, hearing them bicker at each other and them asking me 1,000 questions.
Monday - the basement went well. They did pretty good. Kayson didn't have a ton to do, but he knew I was irritated with Cora, so he did well for me. Cora got frustrated right away (as she typically does). She gets irritated with one of the apps, and cries and completely gives up. So I had to sit with her a little... then it was ok. I'm finding they both just are not motivated. And that's hard to force them... but I also need them to understand that they are still in school, just at home. It's hard.
Tuesday was ok too... they needed more from me, but honestly - it was interesting stuff, so I didn't mind. However, my work stuff got behind, so I had to work super hard that afternoon to get caught up.
We took a long lunch one day too - picnic lunch in the back of the car! We went to the school park, and ate, and the kids ran with Boomer, which was great.
