We’ve been at this shelter-in-place, extreme-social-distancing, homeschool thing for two weeks now, and somehow I’m still surprised that we wear ourselves out every day. There’s so much cooking and cleaning and managing learning and clearing the table over and over again and playing outside and roughhousing and crafting and creating and mischief. Today seemed extra productive because I exercised, showered, and even put on make up. We painted rocks, baked chocolate truffle cookies, practiced baseball, screen-timed, schooled, and made it through another day. I sure love these kids and the extra time we have together. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay home, friends!

Finally figured out Minecraft with cousins. Now they can accidentally push their dogs into fire together.

I woke up to lots of giggling and this pile of pillows and children on the couch. Now I’m just gonna turn around and walk away slowly…

They’re on the same team because they’re both wearing camo, this is their sign ️, and they’re out for blood. They stole the parts to Rushton’s base as soon as he went inside. #rainyday

In my efforts to stay home and shelter in place, I get so busy that I sometimes I forget to go outside until late afternoon. I made it on a walk just before dinner on a trail wide enough for proper social distancing. March looks so spectacular on the hills behind my house!

We’ve seen this tape-chalk mosaic idea around our neighborhood and the internets lately, so we had to give it a try!

Today’s kitchen adventure was Lemon Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting 🍋 and Hailey would have eaten the whole thing by herself if I let her! Also, WE MADE IT TO FRIDAY! Congratulations! (I almost used this emoji but it seems inappropriate in this age of social distancing.) So . ALSO. What even IS Friday anymore? All the days are literally the same now. Every single night is movie night. We’ve also been loving LEGO Masters, Making It, and Girl Scout Cookie Challenge. What have you been watching?
