We made it through week one of staying home!
Schools decided to not reopen right away after spring break and work sent everyone home. Luckily we thought school would stay shut this week and brought all of our computer equipment home.
Normal weekend activities happened on Sunday though! Although I may have mentioned to Matt I saw this dad with a train of kids behind him a few weeks ago and he decided to try it out. Henry even made sure to pedal extra hard to help out. ;)
I’m so glad everyone seems to like biking! I have to admit I felt like it was too easy at kid speeds without the extra weight of the trailer. Matt tells me I am just never happy - lol, true?
We found a spot off the path where the kids could run around and stay away from others. The boys seemed pretty excited to have the chance to show their baby sister how to properly kick a soccer ball around.
But she was more interested in stealing the ball than in using proper soccer techniques. ;)
As a side note, we stayed longer than intended. Some guy decided to stop up on the boardwalk and proceed to sound like he was coughing up a lung, then just sit there for-e-ver. I’m not saying I am overly paranoid, but seriously dude?
Day 1 of working from home and I was determined to get all of my hours in just like I usually do. Natalie was happy to hang out and eat as long as she had her Baby Signing Times to watch!
I love the house has such a nice office downstairs. But the glass doors are a little bit of a downside when you are trying to get work done…
Improving her bubble blowing skills!
Since the kids don’t have recess and we are pretty much working all day, we decided to institute an afternoon/evening walk with the kids. Our new favorite destination is turtle rock! We like to sneak up and try to see how many turtles are sunning themselves on the rocks before they see us and bolt into the water.
So glad that a few plastic buckets and a water hose can provide such entertainment!
And yes, Natalie is still in her PJ’s - don’t judge! It’s a juggling act around here right now…
Grannie sent us a St. Patrick’s day package the other day and the boys were so excited to tear into it!
The sparkly green glasses and mustaches were clearly a huge hit!
And look - I even remembered to get corned beef and cabbage supplies! I tried to dye my drink green and that was a huge fail. Whatever - I’ll just stick to the food fun. ;)
She is two and sometimes will absolutely not be ignored! It’s probably pretty obvious that the nanny isn’t coming right now. Her son is also not back in school and we thought it would be lower risk if the two families are accidentally sharing germs (or viruses as the case may be…).
But oh is her presence sorely missed!
We did discover that Natalie really, really likes Jello! Too bad it does’t have much nutritional value or calories. Figures…
She is also super obsessed with filling buckets with water and pouring them into each other. Look at that concentration!
There are several patches of pretty blue bonnets along the trail and I convinced Thomas to lay down so I could get the classic Texas Spring photo of him in the flowers. It was right off the bike path and street, but doesn’t it look just like hill country?? ;)
Given the sudden mass panic buying and following shortage of toilet paper right now, I bet someone is regretting their decision to TP this poor tree. Ha!
“It’s called fashion, mom…”
The girl loves her accessories!
We were doing so good entertaining the kids and then the rain showed up.
Ugh…
Even I want to get out of the house!
Uh-oh… Someone has figured out how to use a tall cup to get water out of the fridge dispenser. Guess we’ll need to start using that child lock…
Though I have to admit, I am pretty proud of her ingenuity!
Since they managed to read all of their library books already, I was hunting for new books to give them and found this entire Roald Dahl set I bought them after Christmas and then forgot about. I managed to spy it on a shelf in my office while in a meeting. Henry was super into them and I kept finding him splayed out reading them.
Makes my book loving heart so happy!
