Saturday (Day 31): Last night late in the evening they announced that they are extending the stay at home order for our county. Boo! It’s been extended through May 11 I believe. Saturday started out really well. The kids did their cartoon/cereal routine and we lounged in bed, eventually roused from the comfort of our […]

(Day 30) It’s hard to believe that we’ve done 30 days of shelter in place! There have been good days and bad days. It’s definitely been a hard few weeks! We’ve been working hard on AWANA verses. Keilana is already done with her book, and has been for a while. But both boys need to

(Day 29) This morning I made a quick Carrot Cake Oatmeal that I’ve made a few times before. It comes together super easily and bakes up in about 30 minutes. Everyone likes it too! We did our morning chores and school quickly, because we had a video call with Lover’s parents. We talked to them

(Day 28) I helped Lover finalize one of the websites for our business this morning, and worked on our recap of yesterday and some other computer work while the kids did breakfast and chores. When the kids were set in their chores and school, I went for a long walk! It was a gorgeous morning

(Day 27) The kids were happily at play all morning in their outside fort, so I took advantage of the free time and listed a bunch of stuff on eBay. Some of it sold before I finished listing the group of things, so I guess people are getting pretty bored at home! It felt good

(Day 26) The kids and I did our devotional this morning and the Bigs needed no help finding their Bible verses! I discovered that my guitar busted a string, so I’ll have to order new ones, since all the music stores are still closed. I cleaned out a cabinet that had lots of empty egg

Saturday (Day 24): Saturday morning we stayed in bed and were lazy while the kids ate cereal and watched cartoons. Then we came down and got ready to go, loading up the kiddos and heading to the little creek park we discovered when the guys were doing our floors. The kids had been wanting to

(Day 23) Friday was an interesting day! Today was Grandma Joy’s memorial service. We were very honored to be asked to be a part of her service, especially as the family was limited to only ten people! Grandma Joy had asked us to sing Day by Day at her service, so in the afternoon a

(Day 22): While the kids have been watching movies during quiet time, and pretty much any other time I can sneak in throughout the day, I’ve been writing a ton. It’s been the perfect, restful thing to rebalance me from the last few weeks of crazy, and I’m starting to wrap up the second book

(Day 21): I spent a good long while cleaning the kitchen and then helping the kiddos this morning. Right after breakfast I got Javi started on writing out the verse that he’s been stuck on, and Keilana helped him by dictating to him for a while. Then we wrote out the verse again and cut
