Fun in Quarantine - 2020

You would think being home everyday and working from home 95% of the time that I would have more time to update this blog. You would also think our house should be spotless. But it's pretty much the complete opposite. I feel like I have no time. Since the kids are at home, all day everyday, we clean and then 30 seconds later it gets messed up.  This past week have been really trying to clean up around here though. Tim cleaned Avery and Reagan's room. I rearranged the master bedroom because I needed a bigger office area since I will be working from home probably  60-70% of the time in the near future for awhile. I moved the bed and you should have seen everything I found under there. It was disgusting. I felt like I was on an episode of hoarders. I found at least 20 socks, so many kids toys, about 6 of Joe's dog bones and a nasty baby bottle. (Reagan hasn't drank from a bottle in a year). Yeah, gross, I know.

What have we been up to the past month: Bubbles, tie dying shirts, bought a snow cone maker (best $20 I ever spent at Target. Love it!), playing games, putting together puzzles, making forts, sleeping in, trying to get organized around the house, watching way too many episodes of Ryan's Toy Review, cooking and baking, hearing Avery talk about wanting to go swimming or her new thing is gymnastics, having sleep overs in each other's rooms...overall just taking it one day at a time, even though it seems like the Ground hog day movie because everyday seems the same.

Have any of you bought anything super crazy while being in quarantine? No, just me? I would say the craziest thing I bought (but still have yet to receive, is the below...lol.)
Its actually a doll bed from IKEA but I saw people using them as beds/ bunk beds for their cats so you know I had to get them. Hopefully our cats will like it. If not, the kids can use them as doll beds.





:Last Friday was the end of the school year for Avery. I am so sad it ended with being at home. She loves her teachers and she really needs that in person interaction. Homeschooling wasn't beneficial for her. Not that the teachers didn't do a good job. They were awesome and very helpful along the way. The issue was more on my end (working from home full time while trying to home school) and on her end (lack of motivation). I really hope school in the fall is back to normal. 


We started making a list of cute things that Reagan says incorrectly. I am going to list them here so I can look back at them over the years.

Pock-a-sill            Popsicle
Navilla                 Vanilla
Dingbell               Doorbell
Sunscream          Sunscreen

We hope you had a great Mother's Day!


Fun with Bubbles







How does Mommy have room to sleep in that bed?!?


Sleepover time with Ray Ray

I want to do gymnastics. I keep telling Mommy and Daddy

Tie dying shirts
                  

                  

                 

Look at how they turned out!

Reagan modeling her shirt in her sleep

Making snow cones. YUM!
                 





Trying to put these cupcake liners in the pan. I had two dogs inspecting me while i did it. There is Reagan in the background photobombing my pic in her undies of course



Visiting Grandma and Grandpa B


I put makeup on myself and Lily. You can see the blush on her cheeks (well really the side of her head)


My annual thank you pic for my teachers this year


Thank you pic from 2018-2019 (Kindergarten)

Thank you pic from 2017-2018 (Preschool)
                       


Daddy made us a fort


She is so cute and loves to pick flowers (weeds)

Sometimes when we don't know where Reagan is, we have to look under all of the blankets. She will fall asleep anywhere under a blanket.

Momma and Ray

Eating popcorn at Grandma and Grandpas house

Practicing our social distancing and mask wearing




Mother's Day pic from last year and pic from this year. It looks just a little different with masks on. I look the same, still didn't want to look at the camera
If anyone needs their makeup done, I am available.



Mommy walked past Reagan's room one day and saw this... lol. She is sitting on the potty with a blanket on her head.


More flowers (weeds)


sleeping in Momma's bed. The two dogs joined later as well.


Speaking of dog....Joe tried to make friends with this in our backyard.

Mommy is waiting to put up our bigger pool until we get a fence around the patio so the dogs can't destroy the pool. In the meantime, this was all they had at the store. Everyone is sold out of pools. (We had a bigger blow up one last year but mice at holes in it when it was stored in the garage)







Sparkler fun in our jammies










Mommy works at the Cleveland Clinic and she appreciates everyone who works there, especially during these times. This sign is in our yard.





My last day of first grade!





1st day of school vs. last day of school



Thank you Mrs F for the game!!

We are getting too heavy for mommy to pick us both up at once. I still only weigh 35 lbs and Reagan weighs 32.
