Homeschooling Day 47: Virtual All School Meeting to celebrate the outgoing 5th graders and the two retirees.
The task force approved Phase 1 for youth sports, so baseball practice is back on! David was so thrilled to be back on the field!
Tonight was also the drive by parade for David's 8th grade celebration. I wasn't sure what it would look like, but they told us to "be the floats" in the parade and that staff would be outside waving and cheering on the kids. It was just wonderfully done. They had the entire drive through area decorated with blue and white balloons, they played music and the staff and teachers were all there in masks waving and cheering. They really made lemonade out of the lemons we were given.

Day 29: A song you remember from your childhood!
The Doc: Patience - Guns N' Roses
Shaun: Animals - Maroon 5
The Cranberries defined my adolescence, but Madonna defined my childhood. I legit preformed many concerts in front of my bedroom mirror (with the classic hairbrush microphone) and this song was my encore! True Blue and Like a Prayer were my favorite albums from my childhood (which I defined as ages 5 to 10 (because I used 11 and 12 as the "pre-teen years in an earlier category).
Since we could not get together on Mother's Day, my sister brought my mom up for a social distancing visit. We ordered breakfast from Tucker's and I did my mom's Color Street nails for her.

Charlie took Shaun and David for a bike ride out of our neighborhood and onto the main road. They both did great. He sent me this selfie! I love when he thinks to do this! π₯°
Remy has the right idea!

Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you like!
The Doc: Oh Well, Oh Well - Mayday Parade
Shaun: Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
Evan: Tiny Dancer - Elton John
I have so many artists whose voices I love, but Tori Amos was another artist that I was obsessed with during the years when music is most influential in forming musical tastes. No Need to Argue was my favorite album during those years (and as I also stated before, I lovea Dolores O'Riordan's voice), but Little Earthquakes was a very, very close second. And since I already chose The Cranberries twice during this challenge, I wanted to mix it up and so Tori's Winter was the most obvious next choice. It's one of my most favorite songs to sing carpool karaoke style!

Day 27: A song that breaks your heart!
This song is a gut punch. And I said as much already on day 10 - "songs that make you sad". You can hear his emotion on the soundtrack and seeing the show live was especially gut wrenching. I ugly cried. I also had Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven on my list. I remember hearing about what that happened and then the subsequent song being released, I cannot listen to it without feeling heartbroken.
Homeschooling Day 33: I took a personal day! π
We borrowed our friends clippers so Charlie could give himself a haircut until the Barber Shop was able to open. It didn't turn out too bad considering! Haha!
We also decided to give the boys one too, but after Shaun and Evan got botched quarantine cuts, David declined! π

Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love!
Shaun: Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
Totally cliche, I know. But I can't help it. Who didn't have the fantasy of having someone standing outside their window in the rain playing this song on a boombox?
Homeschooling Day 32: Taking advantage of the open campus policy to dine outside of the "homeschool cafeteria". π

Day 25: A song you like by an artist no longer living!
The Doc: Original Fire - Audioslave
Shaun: Thriller - Michael Jackson
My Dad introduced me to Janis Joplin after watching Beth Hart on Star Search (do you remember that show!). She sang one of her songs and she reminded my Dad of Janis and we would watch her compete every week. I asked my Dad to dig out his Janis albums and I was hooked on this song.
Homeschooling Day 31: A case of the Mondays.
Homeschooling Day 31: Presentation quarantine style.

Day 22: A song that moves you forward!
The Doc: Still Breathing - Green Day
Me: Glorious - Macklemore ft. Skyler Grey
This song is my jam and one that definitely moves more forward. I heard it by random chance when I really needed an anthem and it has stuck with me ever since.
Also: Quarantining is hard work! πΉ
Homeschooling Day 30: Another week in the books and Shaun made a cardboard and Popsicle Stick Trojan horse. π΄π

Day 21: A song that has a person's name in the title!
The Doc: ¡Viva La Gloria! - Green Day
David: Baba O'Riley - The Who
This was a hard one to narrow down because there are SO many choices and songs I love with names in the titles. Did you know there was a song by Toto called Pamela? The Beatles have Polythene Pam (but I don't think I look like a man!) too, so I could have just picked one of those and called it a day. π And speaking of The Beatles, they alone have so many great ones, (Dear Prudence, Penny Lane, Hey Jude, Lady Madonna, Martha My Dear, Rocky Raccoon), but I already did a Beatles song and while there is no reason I can't choose another one, I am trying to show off a variety of my musical tastes! Other songs on my list, were Dear Jessie by Madonna, Jeremy by Pearl Jam, Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits and Buddy Holly by Weezer. I chose this song because it's just one of those quirky songs I remember from high school that brought me way back when I found it! I couldn't believe I had forgotten this song but as soon as I listened I remember most of the words! Haha!
Oh Remy! π€¦♀️ πΉ

Day 20: A song that has many meanings to you!
The Doc: He told me to go suck it and that he ran out of songs. π€¦♀️ππ
Me: Zombie - The Cranberries
David: Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver
Shaun: Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin
Evan: Last Christmas - Wham!
This song brings up a lot of feelings. It's a song by one of my all time favorite bands, from one of my all time favorite albums. It's a often said that the music that you listened to during your teen years have a huge impact on influencing musical taste and this song was released when I was 15 and it is to this day one of my favorite songs. I also sang this song in front of my entire high school that same year for a Peace Day assembly.
