C-19 Week 4

Made it through week 4 of staying home!

We’ve made it a full month! A full month of trying to work full time, help school 2 kids and entertaining a toddler. Y’all - it’s hard…

But you know who is loving it???

The toddler! She gets to hang out with her family all day, every day! At least someone thinks this is the best time ever. ;)

Also she gets to destroy so much and as long as she does it quietly, she generally gets away with it. Look at the pure attitude in those adorable eyes…

We’re doomed!

More weekly meetings! Thankfully mine is mostly a listening meeting and I have managed to cover responses by responded in the chat window. Luckily there are enough people in the same boat that the coworkers are pretty understanding.

Although sometimes I have to be able to respond and all of the kids get locked (ha - I wish it actually locked) out of the office. At least they provide some entertainment through the window! ;)

Henry’s meeting today was a scavenger hunt! They were all racing off camera to go find a object that matched the request - this particular one was to find something red. Luckily for Henry, I had him set up right next to Natalie’s playroom, so he was always pretty fast!

Someone is really getting a “I can do it myself” attitude… Ha! I would love for her to do this all on her own, but she did discover the food is a little harder to push than the water. ;)

Ok, taking meetings by the pool is more fun than in the office.

Also, you might be thinking we have too many meetings. I 100% agree! :(

The boys asked me for ideas on what to draw in the chalk so I told them to draw some cool eggs since Easter is coming up. I had to draw them some examples and then egg shapes they could fill in. With the rain in the forecast, I am sure they will get more chances to practice!

Somehow I have run out of energy most evenings by the time we finish dinner. (Haha - can’t imagine why…) We’ve been mostly watching TV after dinner, but Henry was so excited about playing Apples to Apples that we took a night off from the TV and played his favorite game.

Henry was watching random videos on Brain Pop and I walked by just in time to see the creepy plague doctors. At least he’s topical…?

Decided to give Henry some extra bike time on our evening walk. And we figured we could just walk under the bridge on our side instead of crossing over. The boys thought it was way more fun!

I wonder if their school misses them as much as they miss it??

I am still not sure where she found a piece of tape while on a wagon ride to Turtle Rock?

Afternoon chill out time with the kids! For some reason, we decided to hang out in the garage today instead of in the yard. My other kids stole my chair, so I had to sit in the stroller. It was not the most comfortable seat - especially once Thomas sat in my lap. ;)

This week the boys had the same art assignment, so they could do it together! The were drawing cities and they both added a Target to them. Lol - well that’s pretty fitting. :)

I miss Target - I haven’t seen my happy place in so long…! :(

The ramp is still going strong! And even Natalie likes to pull it out to play with the monster trucks!

I bought the boys these laser tag guns for Christmas since there were a few too many “incidents” with the Nerf guns. They have played with them some, but now they have taught baby sister how to use them and it’s pretty much a daily battle between the three of them. It’s cuteness mostly makes up for how long it is…!
