Fun working from home upside — kids made waffles this morning and delivered a stack to me to enjoy! 🧇

The climbing jntervals in today’s spin class were epic. Whew. #FitByFifty

Osmo Coding Duo

Osmo was running a sale recently and I decided to fill out our collection. We got the Hot Wheels™ MindRacers which I didn’t think was going to be that fun, but surprised me by being super fun to play together. I also ordered Coding Duo, in part because we already had Coding Awbie and Coding Jam, so Coding Duo was just another $15 to get two pieces to put it all together. Tyler fired up Coding Duo and has been having a lot of fun with it, and I am very impressed with what a learning experience this is.

Coding Duo uses all of the control pieces of both Coding Awbie and Coding Jam, and introduces the idea of having two characters that you write sequences of code for independently. To play the game, you have to write a distinct sequence of actions for each character, and to make it even more interesting each character has unique capabilities. To complete the levels, Tyler learned a bunch about debugging, getting the programs to interact with each other, and building complex sequences that interact with each other. You can also have two people play together by each writing a program of their own.

It is a very impressive learning environment. I would highly recommend it for any kids that want to explore logic and coding concepts.

What do you do when your new puppy figures out how to jump on the couch? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Had a great 30 minute spin class on Peloton this morning. #FitByFifty

As great as yesterday’s weather 🌤 was, that is how not great today’s weather 💨🌧 is. Brrr! 🥶

We took Lucky on a walk that was just too long for her puppy stamina yesterday so I had to carry her for a while.

Awesome pictures of Lucky (3 months old) that Tammy took yesterday. She’s such a cute puppy!

I liked the privacy and security benefits of having a Pi-Hole at home so much that I decided to put one in the cabin too. Next up cable management. 😁

Gorgeous day — enjoying some time outside with a fire! 🔥

We have most of the Osmo games, and today we got Osmo Hot Wheels™ MindRacers. Kids and adults are having fun!

Got a strong reminder that you should not do a Spin class 10 minutes after eating dinner. 😬 #FitByFifty

High quality mid-day espresso is a nice upside of working from home. ☕️

Getting delicious takeout empanadas from Boludo tonight. They seem to be thriving with a ton of business. Great to see! 🥟🤘

Our kids are doing REM5VR Youth Innovation Lab PLUS. I’m impressed with the content, and they are enjoying it. This is a great idea to augment the learning at home experience.
