Social distancing?

This is what social distancing looks like at our house:

That's Matt's hand waving, and you can't see Ebenezer well - his yellow jammies are visible under Evania's arm - but that's seven people (and one baby doll) piled into bed this morning. With no school, there's no rush to get anyone onto the bus at 7:37 am, so we took advantage of it.

Other than that, with five people considered high risk, and eight people who can't be trusted to wash their hands well, we're mostly going about life as usual...at home. Owen and Leah are really the only ones who are bummed about not getting to go out, which helps, and, honestly, I'm liking having fewer (as in, none!) appointments because it means there's just a little bit more time to get things done around the house!

And in the meantime, we read books like this one of Reuben's favorites:

We just changed the words a bit one night at supper and got a laugh out of the older ones who were listening in knowing that Reuben had no idea what I was singing about:

He's got the rivers and the mountains in His hands, 
He's got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got COVID-19 in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
