Seashells

Graham and Charlie have been digging up so many shells during our trips to the beach.  Charlie got a super huge one recently. So cool!

I figured we could drill some holes in some of the flatter ones and hang them like a wind chime (minus the chime of course, since Daddy doesn't like those too much).  But look what happened to my drill bit. The tip is burnt! Oops!

Here's our little setup - a piece of plank over the large "Green" bin.  Very professional.  Ha ha!

And unfortunately with the burnt and possibly now blunt bit, these shells are breaking apart before the hole can be made.  Nooooo...!!!

At least we got some of them hung.  Happy Charlie! :-)

Anything to keep this kid busy right now.  Charlie was suppose to start Distance Learning last Wednesday but now it looks like it should (hopefully!) start this Thursday.  So far with just 3 days of school last week, there were 11 confirmed Covid cases and about 100 people affected.  And looks like there are a few additional cases this week and it's only Tuesday night!  Yikes!  

Fingers crossed for Graham going back in-person for 6th Grade.  It seems he has been very good at social distancing at school, although that probably means he's not really socializing and making new friends.  He did also say that he was holding his breath while rinsing off after swim in the locker room/showers.  Ha!  That was totally too funny but I'm glad he has been thinking about his surroundings when his mask is off!
