Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
We’re obviously eating at home now more than ever. What better time to get the kids in on the cooking! Each kid picked a meal they wanted to make and we had three great dinners!
Maxwell made fettuccini alfredo…
Samantha made spaghetti…
and Spencer made chicken (fingers) and waffles!!
Of course, they’ve also come up with some interesting dessert ideas too!
Yum all around!!
Happy Monday! For Easter I got the kids Tie Dye sets. Last week we had fun making t-shirts…
and I’d say they turned out pretty great!
You’ll definitely see them coming!!
This baseball season started out strong and I know the boys were both going to have a great time on their teams. However, the world had different ideas and the season got cut short. Sad but not too sad in the grand scheme of things. The nice thing about no baseball? More time for family dinners at home during the week and hiking and golfing on the weekends! We sure do miss baseball though and hope to be out there this summer getting some hits and runs in!
I did have a few more pictures from the very short season to share…
Take me out to the ballgame…hopefully sometime soon!
As I mentioned before, the boys worked so hard on their pinewood derby cars and I’m so sad the derby got cancelled…or hopefully just postponed for who knows when! These awesome cars deserve to be raced!!
The planning started months ago…
And then the cutting and painting and decorating began!
As with every project, there were a few snags in the process. The biggest was some wind that blew a garbage bag and messed up Maxwell’s carefully applied second coat of paint…
But, nothing a little muscle and sand paper can’t take care of!
Soon he was back in business and making it look as good as ever!
Meanwhile, Spencer’s progressed nicely…and I might have helped too much but I just can’t help myself. He was pleased!
They then got wheels on and weights added…
and these cars are ready to race!! Introducing, “Cavallino”…
and Bullet Bill!
Can’t wait to see these cars on the track!
Now more than ever I’m so grateful we live in the neighborhood we do. Plenty of space to ride bikes, lots of good streets for walks, and open space to play! You can’t really beat walking to the local soda shop to pick up a sandwich for lunch…
or biking to the local ice cream store for a treat!
Life’s not so bad when you’re quarantined in our hood!
