We've been quarantined for a month. We only leave the house to get grocery's once a week, or every other week. We do get take-out food a lot, and we go on an almost daily drive, per Piper's insistence. As an introvert, and mom to Max, I'm used to staying in, not seeing people for days. And although Piper isn't a huge extrovert, she is use to school and friends, so boredom set in quick with her. Max is oblivious that life has changed for the rest of the world. He's living his best life in the basement with his iPad. With one bonus, I'm not fighting with him in the mornings asking him to go to school. Steve is still going in to work, as his office is small, but he is only meeting with clients over the phone. The courts have all been closed, so business is pretty slow.
As church has been cancelled as well, we have an online meeting every other Sunday, and I'd love to continue pajama church forever ;)
Oddly, the one thing I miss, is going to the gym, which I find kinda funny. I really never thought I'd miss such a thing. And, my weekly pickleball game with my friends. I taped off a court in the driveway, but Piper doesn't like playing on the uneven surface.
Max is doing online classes with his teachers. Four, 30 minute sessions a day. He hates it, mostly ;) He often hides under his covers, or just flat out refuses to cooperate, or starts throwing toys. Every time I think I should just cut our loss and discontinue them, he has a really good day.
We've been baking a ton. Yum, and ugh. Pretty sure I have already gained 10 pounds. Ha.
With Piper's boredom, we been trying to come up with crafts for her to do. First up, cross stitching.
I got this as a white elephant a fews years back. It came in handy to teach Piper the craft ;)
Masks and gloves are now the norm when going out. So we sewed a couple for ourselves.
Birthday play-doh from Grandma.
Happy Easter
Max refused to color eggs this year, so it was all this girl.
Easter Legos... seems to be a theme going on here...
