Stations!

If any of you are semi-self-quarintining, here’s how ours began today! One of our ‘action figure-families’ came to the country for the weekend! Will, Vika, Andrea, 6, and Nora, 3. This morning each of them created Stations for inside/outside activity. Presently, I have flopped into the folds of this chair, panting and sweating! Heart full of family fun, and body grateful to be told to sit and write!
Nora was present to demonstrate her station for each person, so we needed no written instructions. She let Mossy do just ONE and others, 5, 10, or 20! “Or you can just lie down, was also an option she gave.”
Andrea’s station was pretty strenuous! Especially the “lunge tea lunge” and the pushups!
And THEN there appeared on one wall, running around the house! I think our dog Atticus accompanied each person!
Will’s Stations was a country version of athletes ‘running the stadium steps’. Fortunately our deck steps are a much smaller number.
Vika’s station calls forth a different set of muscles for those of us who had them!
Mossy introduced Rumi’s ‘twirling’. Five one way. Five the other. And then bow.
Granddad’s station included, “play something on the piano” and “bounce the ball on the saggy net racket.”
Hmmm…so now I feel a dry cough, and shortness of breath! Should I top it off with a trip to urgent care? Or just a delicious lunch?
