Day 9- Blah

I think I have the blahs. Not much motivation to do anything. In fact I just woke up from a long nap in the middle of the day. Although this time is good for a reset, it kind of has me in a spin. I don’t normally  have 10 minutes of down time so full days of nothing are sort of a hard adjustment for me. The kids are handling this well. Cameron seems to be struggling the most with nothing to do but they all seem to be in good spirits. The girls are making “Heart Lake City” at the moment which means they are putting every LEGO set we own together. This should keep them busy. Yesterday the three girls learned a dance from High School Musical and the day before they all played barbies for long parts of the day. They were cracking me up... “let’s pretend the barbies are on a reality show....”

My goal for the day is to win my solitaire game. Wish me luck!! 

Day 1 of no school

1 down, 41 more days to go. But who is counting?

Corona virus blues

I will tell you what, I HATE the Corona virus! It has pretty much taken over our lives at this point. People are in a PANIC over this in Maple Valley and there is no where to turn to get away from it. I feel for the most part people have lost their minds and aren’t thinking clearly. Our schools are still open but I feel like we will be lucky to make it through next week. Church was sacrament only. Have to say, if they think cancelling 2nd hour is the answer to not spreading germs not sure how sending around a tray of bread and water for the entire congregation to touch is really the answer.   🤦🏼‍♀️ Not sure what the next few weeks or months are going to be like but I think I need to pack my patience!

My order of the Corona virus came this week.

This is what Costco looked like. I think the reason people are buying so much water is because they need to make themselves pee to use ALL OF THE TOILET PAPER they bought. Seriously!

Here are my cute girls doing a puzzle. Thought I might need to liven this post up a bit! 

I spy...

SPRING!

Nothing says spring like 40° and raining. Welcome to track season!

Leap Day 2020

Four years ago we decided to make a time capsule for the next Leap Year, February 29, 2020. As the day approached we were getting excited about opening it up.

Inside our time capsule was a picture of us and of each of the kids. Also included was questionnaires that each of them filled out. On the back of the paper we traced their hands and feet. We also made a video. We all had a good laugh about some of our answers and marveled at how much we have grown in 4 years. Funny how things that seem so important at the moment are not even relevant now.

This year the party had a similar theme as last time. The girls took over the decorating and had fun. They decided to make Jello Jigglers cut out like 2s, 9s, and frogs.  They were a bit disappointed in the lack of frog themed items at the grocery store.  

The next 4 years hold some BIG changes for our family.  As we made our new time capsule we talked about who might not even be here when we open it. Crazy!  Where does the time go?!
