Dad got us pumpkins and we decided to paint them instead of carving them this year. Carved pumpkins do not last long in the Florida heat!

Happy Halloween!
We went to a couple of places for trick-or-treating that did social distancing. The neighbor at the end of the street put a bowl out at the end of her driveway:
This house (two streets over) advertised online that they had a pully system where they sent the candy down to you:
Then we went home to watch a scary movie, “Alien”.
It was definitely different having Halloween during a pandemic, but we still had fun. Mom also bought some extra candy for us; thanks mom!

First Day Of School
The Covid19 pandemic really impacted the start date of school (2 weeks late) as well as how the girls would attend school. They were given three options: in-person school, digital academy, (online school) or traditional homeschool. We decided to start off the school year doing digital academy and assess the situation after the first 9 weeks.
For digital academy the girls had the same teachers they would have if they were going in-person for each class. The teachers were actually teaching in-person students at the same time as digital academy students!
This year Lizzy is in 8th grade:
Rachel is in 6th Grade:
Patricia is in 7th grade and she was also doing digital academy so she joined us most days:
