Lea's Day-Lea's, Week 17 (2020)

Day 113, Wednesday, April 22nd

It was a chilly and rainy day.  You can see the steam coming off the pool.

They're all yelling at Chewy to come to them to prevent him from slipping through the fence. 

He did come back (but he doesn't always).

Day 114, Thursday, April 23rd

Ha ha!  Presley asked me to make a happy birthday sign for her to paint for her friend's 16th tomorrow.

Oops...I don't think I should be homeschooling anyone!

(But you couldn't even tell when we hung it on Friday morn)

Day 115, Friday, April 24th

Dave and I drove to the Apple Bowl Stadium tonight. 

Schools across the nation are leaving their stadium lights on from 8:20-8:40 on Friday nights to honor their senior athletes. 

Logan should have been playing against Eastmont here tonight!

Day 116, Saturday, April 25th

Presley made us a cake tonight.

It's hard to get past such great security.

Our evening walk along the canal tonight.

And we made it home in time for the Disney sing along.

We are very thankful for the nice spring weather, but the pool was COLD still!

They just jumped in and swam to the stairs to wrap up in a towel.

Easter 2020

On Saturday evening we dyed our Easter eggs. 

I love the way they've crossed their arms to use the color in front of each other.

Logan trying to get creative. 

Presley too

Then they each had to pick their favorite creation for Dave to judge. 

I didn't want too many hard boiled eggs so we did the best we could on the names. 

Easter Baskets in the morning

Luckily I already had a few things put away for them, and was able to order some things that came in time. 

These 3 went for a swim after breakfast. 

It was a little chilly out but they had a great time. 

These are their new swim suits that came in their baskets. 

Rylan and Harper playing underwater

Dave made a nice ham dinner for us and Ry and Harper peeled potatoes for him. 

Cheers to a Quarantine Easter

We ended the night watching Trolls 2 

(Movies that we're set to be released in the theaters during COVID went directly to rent or buy through streaming services.  We rented Trolls 2 for $20.00)

Oh Chewy!  

We've got to teach you how to take a proper Nelson selfie :)

A Happy Easter Together!

Quarantine's Emotional Moments

I feel like we've been pretty level headed about this quarantine:  here's what's happening and why and here's how our family is going to handle it. 

But I do find myself, at times, on either end of the spectrum:   "life as we know it is over" and "let's make crafts and eat baked treats all day."

And there's been some tears too...mostly to be blamed on the overwhelming thoughts of what we're missing out on! I'm sure I'll be able to continue to add on to this post...

(Ry's teachers singing Lean on Me--this got me while I watched with Ry)

Logan's soccer coach, on this year's team.

How our community is looking at ways for the seniors to graduate. 

An e-mail from Harper's teacher. 

Presley's friend dropped off a bracelet she made for her. 

They didn't get any closer than this....and she's wearing gloves, and they're giving each other a good-bye "hug".

Another moment of tears for me. 

Harper "seeing" her teacher for the first time in over a month. 

Her teacher was getting emotional too!

And Ry's first google meet with his teachers too...

the teacher asked if anyone had anything to share so Ry chased Chewy down to show him off. 

I hate these new floor stickers reminding me to stay 6 feet away from people.

Maybe this will be Harper's conversation/memories about the quarantine/Coronavirus one day.

Day 98, Tuesday, April 7th

Grandma texted that there would be a super moon tonight. 

(I had read this earlier in the day but had forgot).

So I got a quick picture as it came up from behind the hillside. 

I offered to teach the phases of the moon but didn't receive a warm reception on that :)
