THANK YOU!!!!

I am NOT nearly as important as all these nurses and doctors that are IN IT EVERY MINUTE of EVERY DAY! But I do give them a shout out because is A LOT!!!! and these masks are killing me.... I'm trying my hand at making more, we shall see! :)

Spring Break and FORWARD 2020

This time in our lives has been super strange and overwhelming! The COVID-19 has truly changed our lives forever! I just pray that the boys remember this time as a great one with Brian and I! We first started out in Paris for 4 days of Spring Break, and didn't realize that would be the last time we could visit there in several months! Then started with me going back to work and homeschooling the boys! Lakeland has put many wonderful things for the boys to keep learning.... as long as I can keep teaching! I have found many fun projects for us and I keep trying to find more! I am thankful for our health and I am thankful that I have plenty of toilet paper! ha! It is sad though, there are many without! I just keep praying for our world! And along the way, I hope I can teach the boys about being good and kind and loving! 2020 you are a strange year.......Thanks!

Pierce was kitties buddy!!!

They got to go in the fields A LOT !!!

AMELIA, I mean, what can I say!!!!

CHEESE!!

Love this!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! She is like Aunt Stacy, like a moth to light!!! I mean, SHE LOVES LOTION and wants to put it on all the time! She will bring you the bottle and dip her fingers in and rub it around on her hands! I have found my soul sister with that! ha!!

PUZZLES are life as Uncle John kept saying, Amelia will bring them to you and make you put them back together, over and over and over again!!!

Movie nights EVERY NIGHT at Nona and Papas!!!

She loves to fold too! We were folding washcloths!

and we went on walks together!!!

I said, YOU ARE GONNA LOOK AT ME! ha! She doesn't want you looking at her much! and I said 'SORRY SISTER, I am here, I don't get to see you much, I AM LOOKING AT YOU!'

ALL THE BUTTERCUPS were gorgeous!!!

Finally got all 3 together! in jammies!

They loved being on the porch even tho it was raining!!

But when we got home.... we got to business!

Made streamer door hangings!

Uncle John gave us an extra trampoline they had!!!

We have learned to draw some characters!

We have had picnics galore!!

We made 100 cards for the local nursing home, since they can't have visitors right now!!!

Reid hung an old telephone! ha!

He found a well on our walks!!

Nature has been BEAUTIFUL even though the pollen has been KILLER!!!

We know the family that has this, we asked if he could take a picture!!

I set up the bouncy house with the trampoline IN THE GARAGE!!! It's been a lifesaver!!

More walks! and more and more!!!

Zoom meetings with Soccer!!!

We walked to see friends one day, stayed 6 feet apart! They were so sweet! Sitting and talking!!!

MORE WALKS!

our neighbor turned 16 in all this mess, her mom asked us to be like a parade for her! It was fun! and she was surprised!!!

playing kitchen!

We tried our hand at the stained glass chalk art..... didn't make it too far! but it was fun while it lasted!!

OHHHHHHH and. Mr. Fun Sponge (he calls him self that! I didn't start that), BROKE DOWN AND BOUGHT A BIG TRAMPOLINE!!! It has been a lifesaver!!!!

We learned about sound waves.....

and made our very own guitars!!!

Reid is gonna be the death of me, but he IS so creative! Spend all morning one morning while I was at work, making a bucket well and a pump well out of construction paper! He is amazing!!!

MORE WALKS!!

for REAL homeschool has started.....

Pierce is mostly on the computer.... Reid has sheets to print off! I go in early to work and get home by 1 to relieve Brian so he can have at least 4 hours of uninterrupted work time..... and we do more school work when I get home.... and then projects of art, or exercise or science!!
