We brought home the newest Nelson, Chewy.

Day 84, Tuesday, March 24th

They fill up water balloons and jump with them on the trampoline until one pops. 

St. Patrick's Day and Social Distancing

St. Patrick's Day was also our first official day of social distancing. 

There will be no school until April 27th, so we've got 6 weeks to figure this out. 

I'm sure there will be good and bad days, and I've got to get into a rhythm, but today went fine. 

Our leprechaun used the bathroom. 

And left some green goodies and gold coins. 

The kids wrestled a bit, 

played Hullabaloo, 

Headbandz, 

and did some youtube dance videos. 

It was a nice, sunny day so we went for a walk too. 

(I didn't pose them like this, Harper was leading the pack across the street0

Harper also tripped over the curb shortly after this and cried the rest of the way home. 

And we ended the night, after texting within the house, on McD's Shamrock McFlurries. 

( I wonder how many things Dad will try to get out of due to "social distancing")

We took a drive to Shari's for pie in honor of Pi Day :)

The kids did have school today, and I took a "last day of school" picture just in case they don't go back. 

Day 77, Tuesday, March 17th

First official day of social distancing. 

It was an okay day, did a little school work, played some games, and spent some time outside. 

They're playing the game Hullabaloo, one they played when they were toddlers too (it got a little more aggressive this round).

Dad's Day 2020 (Pendleton and Walla Walla)

Our third annual Dad's Day was Friday, March 6th.

We ventured into the big cities of Pendleton and Walla Walla!

Samee surprised Mom and Dad in the morning by picking them up and telling them they would be flying to Pendleton. 

Mom had a little reservation but they had a wonderful, clear flight and the pilot pointed out some landmarks. 

We met them in Pendleton.

We stopped for a quick lunch. 

Then we went to the Pendleton Underground Tour.

I loved learning about Stella Darby's bordello, The Cozy Hotel

We browsed in some of the downtown shops and then drove on to The Wildhorse (because what would a trip be to Pendleton without a quick trip to the casino).

Amy was a big winner--she put in $20 and ended up with $356!

We were only there about an hour.

We drove on to Walla Walla and stopped in the Hot Poop Record Store. 

Then went to dinner at the Pasta Factory

We had one last activity to do...a Clue type game at the Kirkman House Museum.

We had to figure out who was the murderer, what weapon was used, and what room it was done in. 

It was really fun and we played in the dark!

And many of the rooms had mannequins and vintage/antique dolls and decorations!

Amy figured it out first that it was Nelson Blackick, in the office, with the meat fork.

(I was one space on the game board behind her and I would have guessed correctly too)

She was a super detective!

There was a special library in the house dedicated to Adam West (a former Batman and Walla Walla resident).

We made it home about 10:30 and I stayed the night and left Saturday morning.
