We made it through week 20 of staying home!
Almost 5 months…
Wowsers.
Thankfully the kids are getting along great! Nothing to see here, no kids trapped in a laundry basket prison… ;)
Do you think she knows how much this bothers me and that’s why she keeps doing it? To be fair, I took away almost all of her books from her room. This is the last possible one she can rip and I didn’t like it anyhow. Turns out it was a favorite one of her dad’s to sing songs out of. Whoops!
First time to try spaghetti! Not the first time it has been on her plate, but she finally took a few bites! Wooo!
Also, you can see she is wearing the cool necklace Jenny made her at the beach house last year. We should be at the beach house with them this week, but we aren’t. We are home, not at the beach. Viruses just ruin everything.
Swimming time! Someone was getting a little antsy waiting for their turn…
You also be unsurprised to hear she got pretty mad when I wouldn’t let her wear her shoes in the pool. She’s obsessed!
Slowly, but surely, they are turning into better swimmers!
It seems like every week brings a new thing that she plays with for the week. This week is was part of the campfire kit that Grannie made for the boys years ago. And she mostly just carried it around in this tray and picked the pieces up with tongs to pretend to eat the smore’s. At least she was willing to share her pretend chocolate bar with me!
Henry found his cookbook again last week and wanted to make the Mini-Donut Muffins. We didn’t have buttemilk, so I told him he would have to remind me to buy it with the groceries and then we could make them. He was determined enough that he even wrote “BUTTER MILK” on my grocery list (took me a second to realize that wasn’t an intentional space on the list - lol).
So we finally made them today and he was soooooo excited about the whole process. :)
And it must be genetic, he didn’t remember his apron either. ;)
The turned out pretty good! I reeeeeeeeally wanted that one that had extra cinnamon on it, but the baker gets dibs and of course he wanted it too. I’ll remember that next time I make him cupcakes! ;)
