Well, there are worse places to be stuck for the next 3 weeks than at home! School is cancelled and we’re practicing “social distancing” to keep ourselves and others healthy. The kids were supposed to have eDay work for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week but, after there were several confirmed cases right in our community, they just cancelled it all until April 6th. The kids are excited about no school but not super excited about spending the next 3 weeks in isolation! I’m trying to make it fun…we’ve played Spot It and Uno…

I learned how to play Four Square with them…

(clearly if one of us has Corona we’re all doomed! ha!)

We also went for a walk. It was a beautiful day!

Yep, we’ve been busy…too bad all of that was done before 3:00 on day 1! It’s gonna be a long 3 weeks…

3 weeks

but we can do it!

Doughnuts with Dad

Last week Robert got to go up to the preschool for his very last Doughnuts with Dad! My favorite dimpled duo looking super cute…

Samantha was excited!

Really excited!  🙂

Robert said they had fun and we all got a kick out of Samantha’s very accurate answers about him!

Then the sugar kicked in and the ladies were living it up!

Love these two.

The end of an era – so long preschool traditions!

Spencer’s teacher is pretty good about sharing class pics – even if they do all have this strange filter! ha!

I got to go up for the grandparent event last month and make this cool graphic S with Maxwell!

And then he got to leave school last week to go watch the Spartans play in the semi-finals for the state championship! So fun! and I’m so thankful Patton’s mom was up for taking a crew of boys!!

School days! School days!

Valentine recap

Valentine’s Day was a big hit around here! The kids got lots of candy at their school parties on the 13th, got plenty of treats at home, and even had the day off of school on the 14th! They spent it at the movies! Can’t beat that! A few pics from Samantha’s class party…

Love my little loves!

Valentine Program

Samantha had her Valentine Art Show up at school last week and it was, unfortunately, a rainy day. So rainy that they had delayed school 2 hours and Lulu and Granddaddy weren’t able to make it up for the program. But, Robert and I got to go see our little sunshine perform.

Samantha and I got there nice and early – gotta get that front row seat!

I can’t say Samantha was particularly animated during the performance. But, she also was up at the doctor the next morning with strep so I’m thinking she wasn’t feeling great. That’s ok though – she still looked cute!  🙂
