Agents of Zoom


Yes, it's a unique time.  How else can you explain learning from a livestream of a dancer in Orlando how to do an Irish dance at 11:00 am on a weekday?  Yeah, that's how we roll.  Mommy was actually the most proficient of all of us.  We heard that the Raglan Road pub down there in Disney Springs was doing Irish dance lessons online, so we thought we'd do that for fun.  And while it was fun, none of us are particularly any good at it!

Madison was busy with her homework today, working on that, including a wanted poster for a character from the book she's been reading, "The Outsiders."



To be fair, he was trying to defend someone else.  So maybe we should give Johnny a little break.  She spent a little while drawing this one out, and it turned out well. While she was working on that, Mommy and Daddy boarded the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier and joined a Zoom meeting:

Agents of SHIELD Zoom Meeting Agenda:  Corona vs. Legacy Virus

Here's our Zoom look, where Mommy and Daddy were dressed as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.   Call us Agents of Zoom.  Yes, we SHIELD agents like to keep tabs on meetings like this.

Camille and Joey recreate their initial reaction to our Agents of SHIELD Zoom backdrop.
Yesterday we read that the final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. starts on May 27th, so we sort of hopped on that bandwagon a bit, finding a Marvel backdrop and then adding a SHIELD logo there.  We had the lanyards from some time before, though I don't remember for what occasion that was.


Anyway, it was fun.  The meeting went well - we're talking about the next three weeks, and throwing around ideas that we can do at KidPak, or at least at home for Kidpak.  It's a challenging season, but it's great to see everyone rise up to those challenges.  Speaking of challenges...


This is Madison kicking a roll of toilet paper.  Why?  It's part of the Edge ATA TP challenge.  They're going to throw together a video where a roll of toilet paper is tossed to one person, who then kicks it off screen to the next person and so on.  It'll be a connecting video, and will be fun to see when finished.  We sent in our video today, filming it in front of the house.

It was a pretty day outside, though a little cool.  We walked down the street to deliver our Easter cookies to a neighbor and her family, and just enjoyed the neighborhood walk together.  Nana C dropped by with some Wensleydale Cheese, decorated for Easter.  We missed that in the store, so it was cool to see our favorite obscure cheese again in the store.  Wallace and Gromit really did a lot for that cheese factory.

We saw "The Force Awakens" tonight, something we haven't seen in some time.  This is the best of the final trilogy, despite what they did to Han Solo.  It was great to see these new characters, each really well developed.  We'll continue until we're done with these - only two more movies to go!

Madison did her piano practice again, sticking with it!  Daddy did a few more cards for the workers, something Madison is going to help out with again tomorrow.  We're still moving forward on that one.  We finished the "Thrawn" book tonight, and the Napoleon Dynamite devotional book too, so that was a momentous finish for both.  Too bad the library isn't open right now.  There are a few books we're wanting to pick up.  But the due date for these books is in June, and that's a while from now.  We'll see how things progress.
