March Happenings

Oh March, what a month!! It started out so hopeful with meet-ups with our cruise friends to talk about our trip and outings to the eye doctor and having lunch with the kids at school ... to ...everything at home to stay safe.  Quite the transition but we are in a good groove.  It was definitely nice to have a week of distance/e-learning and then a week off for spring break.  Helped to change things up for sure!

Toby is exhausted having everyone home all day every day LOL 

Trevor just keeps getting taller and taller!

But not old enough to drink wine - only non-alcoholic his favorite treat!

Ashley loves to bake with Mama!

God knew that our souls needed a beautiful sunset!

Daddy has taken over Toby's grooming - yikes ;)

Lots of lounging going on!

As well as FaceTiming with Elena!

Serious coloring!

And lots of games of war.

All in all, a great month!!

Digital Learning

Digital learning is going pretty well over here.  Sometimes we set up at the kitchen table and look all official, sometimes the kids wear jammies and lounge while doing school, sometimes they call Nana and Papa Steve to help them, sometimes Ashley takes over Mommy's work space...but Toby??!!?  He's always sleeping up in Daddy's office!!!  

Mommy's Birthday!!!!!!

Even in quarantine, Daddy and the kids pulled out a wonderful birthday weekend for Mommy!  To start with, on Saturday our neighbors generously let us use their pool since they were at their lake house.  It almost felt like we were on our spring break trip.  Ha!  Almost.

After that they surprised Mommy with a sidewalk chalk art masterpiece and signs!!

Then all of a sudden honking and cheering started and Mommy realized there was a golf cart parade for her!!!!  How fun!!  Great surprise!!!! 

It was so nice to see friends' faces again and get caught up with Chandra!!!  

After that we went on a family golf cart ride and stopped by Red's for some cookies!

Sunday morning we played some fun games and had a most yummy birthday breakfast!

Ashley insisted on crowns for the girls!!

Had some bingo playing with the Roslansky's through FaceTime call!

And of course a mandatory selfie to remember the best weekend even in the age of quarantine.  Mommy jokes that she still gets a half year birthday celebration ;) 

Spring Break

Well we didn't get to go on our 7 day cruise with 40 of our friends from here this year for Spring Break as planned but we had a blast doing things here at home all week long!  Lots of treats, Jammie days, label making, nerf battles, driveway racing, puzzles, cup shooting, sun getting, rollerblade hopscotch, dirt playing (wishing it was sand),  Osmo time, hockey shooting, dog and people kenneling !!, magnatiles, sidewalk chalk, lounging, Ziggle races, football throwing, birthday parades, Spring Break picture LOL and a zen sand toy win with the kids.  A spring break to remember for sure!
