Week Five

 I can't believe we've been at this for five weeks now!  We're still staying busy, but I've been itching to get out when the weather is so nice!

 Tuesday I saw a post from a local painting place that they had some new figures in and were offering kits to do them at home.  We usually go every summer so the kids can make a fair entry, so we called and ordered kits and the kids got to work.  I know this has been so hard on so many businesses, but it has been fun to see the creative ways many of them are using to keep some business coming in!

 Wednesday we did a chalk pastel class where the kids drew the Globe Theatre.

We tried a new location of a restaurant--super yummy!

 

 And we had a driveway play date while the weather was so nice!

 The girls made an interactive sidewalk.

 Thursday Alice participated in a LitWits class.  I'm going to have to share more about this later because it was really cool!

 

 Friday night we played more Clue and baked some cookie dough we got from my mom and dad.

 Saturday we had a quick visit from friends!

 Sunday morning Alice made omelets for us all!

 Yesterday the weather was so beautiful!  We went to Honor Heights to take some pictures and walk around a bit.

 The azaleas were so pretty!

 We stopped off for lunch at the original Chet's!

Monday night we also participated in a drive by birthday party for Jack's writing teacher.  Afterward we had some Andy's and visited with friends in the driveway.

It's been nice to get out some and we're definitely going to have to do more of it soon!

Happy Easter!

 We had a nice Easter, even if we were stuck at home and the weather was gross.  I had gotten some things for their baskets before this all began and ordered a few more later.

 The Mystery Box from the Tulsa Geoscience Center was a big hit!

 Alice played with her magnets all day!

 Thanks to Rachel, we were able to have our traditional Resurrection Rolls.

 The kids hunted for eggs.

 I failed to buy candy, so they were filled with quarters and puns.

 We had a big dinner!

 Tycho joined the kids for pictures.

And Seamus joined in for the family picture!

Week Four

 I had to check and see what week of quarantine this was before I posted...I've lost track!  But we're still staying busy!  The Food Showdown, one of the annual county 4H events, has been canceled for the year, so our educator held a virtual cooking contest.  The kids had to make something using only what was in their pantry and then turn in the recipe and a picture.

 The kids entered a Lion's Mane Omelet!

 They didn't win the contest, but I found out they can make a pretty good omelet, so I feel like I won.  ha!

 Our weather has been either sunny and beautiful or gray and chilly.  Last Tuesday was beautiful, so we went for a walk.

 Jack spotted a 918 Rock in a tree!

 The huge full moon!

 A large chunk of time last week was spent making masks.  I have a pretty good set up and watched quite a bit of Columbo while I sewed.

 I think I've made around 55 masks at this point.

 Alice made this pie chart that cracked me up!

 Friday we colored Easter eggs.

 I love this strawberry!

 This egg can be happy or sad, depending on which way you turn it!

 Can you tell what celebrity this is supposed to be?

 Mummies Alive eggs by Jack.

 I think Hobo is loving getting so much play time now!

 Easter pic--more later!

 We brought out Master Detective Clue on Easter afternoon.

And we wrapped up Week Four by celebrating this guy's first birthday last night!

I'm still doing fine with being home so much, but I am looking forward to getting out more soon hopefully!  I'm itching for a good road trip!

Week Three

 Week 3 already?  Sometimes this seems like it's been going on for ages, but other times the days fly by.  Maybe last week went quickly because we had several outings.  Tuesday we went to pick up Alice's next math book.

 Wednesday was my nephew's 18th birthday so we made a donut delivery.

 The kids also made signs for the yard!

 Wednesday afternoon the kids also played a fun game with friends on Zoom.

 Thursday we had these muffins for breakfast because it was...

 ...Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!  I'm glad I had picked this calendar up at Five Below because it's given us some fun things to celebrate while we're at home.

 The kids modeled their masks--though I'm making Alice a smaller one now.

 Saturday they wrote some letters to friends.

 Alice has been video calling with friends quite a bit.  When she stepped away, Tycho decided to take her place.

 Saturday Alice lost her next to last baby tooth!

 Sunday we made some up some packages.

 Delivery service!

 Tycho became part of a puppet show.

 Slime has made a return to our house!

 Did I mention masks?  I might be able to do this in my sleep now...  These went to my sister in law, who works for Baptist Village.

 Zoom Spanish class

For some reason Blogger won't let me type below this picture...Anyway, we had some leftover grass seed from the terrariums they made, so we made a Resurrection Garden--something I've had in the back of my mind to do since I saw it on Pinterest years ago.  It's nice to finally get to some projects!
