St. Thomas at Seven

My daughter’s longest break in the school year is over winter.   She has two weeks off for the holidays in December and then does’t go back until the end of January for her “track” in the year-round school she attends.

Last week her class wrote about what they did over the holidays and this week the completed work came home with her.   It’s been a while since we were in St. Thomas over Christmas and New Year’s holidays but when I read my daughter’s recounting of our vacation it was so cute I had to post it.  





Her memory on what happened for each day is quite accurate.   It does make it look like she spends a lot of spare time on the iPad.   We made a bit of a mistake and didn’t bring much in the way of toys on the trip.   She doesn’t like spending time on her iPad for the most part, but she got a good bit of show watching in while we were in St. Thomas as the adults talked spent time together.

The Big Boy Update:  My son is still sick today.   My daughter is better, so hopefully he’ll be over the fever by tomorrow.   He’s had almost no appetite, which has been in stark contrast to his sister, who ate more than normal while she was febrile.   He spent several hours asleep on the hardwood floor today.   Even though he’s feeling poorly, he’s been enjoying watching some television and resting on the couch.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter has been obsessed with the time in Norway lately.   She’s doing Norway conversion time, letting us know that if it’s twelve-thirty here, it’s six-thirty in Norway right now.   This is because my husband is playing Fortnite with some friends he met online.   One of the friends is a lady named Maya, who is a teacher.   Maya says she doesn’t like playing on European servers because as soon as guys figure out she’s a female, they get “creepy” on her, hitting on her and making it not fun to play the game.   She says American men are much nicer and treat her as another player, not just a woman.   This afternoon my husband was taking a break and jumped into a Fortnite game.   My daughter heard a woman’s voice on the headset so my husband put the headset on her head and she got to say hello to his teammates, but in particular, Maya.
