Protest on our Hands

 It was the first day in awhile of being home with the children on my own. I am exhausted.

We did some math and busy work in the morning and spent the rest of the day outside. 

The children and their friends started a protest at about 2.30pm:

"WHAT DO WE WANT?"
"WATER FIGHT!"
"WHEN DO WE WANT IT?"
"NOW!!!!"
"WATER FIGHT! WATER FIGHT! WATER FIGHT!!"

They were temporarily placated when one of the dads came out with a bag of candy...chewy toffee candy. Ya can't shout when you've got your mouth full. Didn't last long but the temporary quiet was welcome respite. 

They got hold of paper and made signs "WATER FIGHT", and marched around chanting.

We said they could have a water fight after 3pm, and didn't budge. The protest kept them busy for awhile, which was great. :)

It was good to see the husband after school. It's hard though, as he still had work to do at home. The work/life boundaries are currently blurred with all that's going on. It's no fun, but hopefully it is an adjustment phase that will smooth itself out in time.
