Day 2100 | 2100!
/
My posts have been a bit sporadic lately as I inched toward the day 2100 team update. These posts always take so much more thought and time than my normal ones. I can’t believe I’ve done 21 of these updates over the years (every 100 days for those keeping track).
Without further ado…
SARA
FAVORITES: Fostering cats (it's pretty much the best thing ever), sitting in the sunshine, downtime at the lake house, reading (I just finished The Immortalists...it was excellent), clean bathrooms (not cleaning bathrooms, for the record), watching (and feeling!) spring arrive
POST-COVID TO-DO: Catch up with friends. Texting and calling just doesn't cut it sometimes, you know?
CURRENT CHALLENGE: Figuring what our life looks like this summer. Somehow balancing lake time, summer school, summer sports (baseball + swimming!), travel (fingers crossed!), etc. It's a lot.
CHRIS
FAVORITES: Winter ending, talking video games with the boys, bringing the mail in (he's always so on top of it), working from home (it doesn't happen very often, but it's grown on him), puzzling, planning for lake house water activities
POST-COVID TO-DO: Travel. We're all done with Wisconsin.
CURRENT CHALLENGE: Loading and unloading the car after weekend trips to the lake. How can we possibly need to schlep all that stuff back and forth constantly?
CHASE
AGE: Almost 9
FAVORITES: apples, chocolate chip pancakes, video games, movies (pretty much anything on a screen), re-reading books, candy (Bottlecaps, in particular), Legos (you knew that one was coming), practicing skateboarding, reading the newspaper comics
POST-COVID TO-DO: A two-night slumber party with his best friend, Jack.
CURRENT CHALLENGE: Preparing for four-days of school again (starting April 3). I'm pretty sure he'll have less school work than he does now, though. Homeschool can be tough.
ROBBE
AGE: Freshly 7
FAVORITES: french toast, yogurt and berry parfaits, dreaming about gardening this spring/summer, playing Minecraft, being outside, switching best friends every couple of weeks, any sweets (suckers, in particular), graphic novels, Legos (always), sending emails to his friends
POST-COVID TO-DO: Playdates with friends. Lots of playdates.
CURRENT CHALLENGE: Waiting for warm weather. Robbe was promised an outdoor playdate with a friend as soon as we can do it outside. He asks about it almost daily.
