Last Day of School

Last day of school was a weird one for sure. Online school wasn't my favorite and it was hard while trying to entertain the younger kid. But we still decided to take a picture to document the PJs and messy bed hair because that's basically what home schooled looked like as we tried to survive the new norm.

Mother's Day

I'm lucky to be their mother.

Alice at 9 months

Really behind here, but here is Alice's nine months update:

"Miss Alice at 9 months. She’s getting so big. She can now feed herself, she sits up better, and army crawls very fast. She loves to dance, especially to the Jimmy Eat World song, “555” and it’s adorable. This past month she also moved out of our bedroom and now her and Elizabeth share a room. Also this past week there were three nights that she slept through the night. This is a new record for us since we have been blessed with children who like to party at night 😅. I hope the sleeping continues but I’m not holding my breath on it. Anyway, we love our sweet Alice."

More Quarantine Snap Shots

Some few things that happened the past month during quarantine:

1. The kids starting school online, that was rough the first few days but we figured it out.

2. A lot of drawing

3. Elizabeth's new thing is picking flowers for me and I love it.

4. Alice loves Dustin even more these days and sometimes picks him over me and it's awesome

5. We put Elizabeth and Alice in the same bedroom and Elizabeth loves having a girly room (pictures soon) 

6.We had the tent in the garage for a month and the kids loved it.

7. And lots of online school and zoom meetings

Easter

This Easter season was little different this year since there was no church, and no activities due to Covid-19, but we still had a good time.

Alice Turned 8 Months

Alice is 8 months! She’s army crawling everywhere and nothing is safe these days. She doesn’t want to be left out and always wants to do what everyone else is doing. The other day she wanted Dustin over me and it was glorious😂. It’s fun to see her little personality blossom.

Elizabeth Turns 3!

Little Miss Elizabeth turned 3 this week. Elizabeth has been looking forward to her birthday for a long time now. She had a great day, we opened presents first thing that morning then some friends did a little birthday parade for her since we are to social distance during this time and the girl loved it! Then we had Mcdonald's and cake. This girl loves everything girly so she loved all the girly stuff. We are so lucky to Elizabeth in our lives.

Quarantine Life

Well I would never have thought we would be stuck in our house for a while because of a disease, but here we are. We had spring break the week before the crazy hit in America so my kids have been home from school about a month now. We are just finishing are third week of home school and it's going better than I thought, the kids have been more relaxed this last week and I have to remind them to stay on task but it's still pretty good. Dustin takes the kids out almost every day to play soccer and the kids love it. 

We have been doing pretty good, better than most. Dustin started working from home right away and that's been nice since his work load has been cut in half but we are still getting paid. Surprisingly our art jobs haven't slowed down, my photography has stopped, which I'm 100% ok with that. We were also lucky during the food shortage, luckily I realized people were getting nervous, and this was before I was taking it seriously, I decided to order groceries the following day with two weeks worth of food. Then that night I saw what was going on in Italy and started realizing that it was pretty serious, then the next day when I went to get my groceries for pick up it was a mad house and the wait was crazy, so I decided to go into the store to check for the things that were "out of stock" on my order and went into the store got the rest of the food but people were definitely acting scared, it was such a weird atmosphere, but I got enough food before everything was gone. The grocery store still feels weird, crazy times for sure but I'm grateful that my family is safe and in one house during this time.
