Lea's Day-Lea's, Week 19 (2020)

Day 127, Wednesday, May 6th

We had a knock on our front door and it was a WHS cheerleader with goodies for our senior spring athlete.  

Day 128, Thursday, May 7th

It's teacher appreciation week so we dropped off Chipotle for Harper's teacher and her family. 

Day 129, Friday, May 8th

Cristy told us that the author Dan Gemeinhart (a former colleague of hers) was doing a Youtube Live so we tuned in.

Day 130, Saturday, May 9th

Chewy's first long family walk with us. 

Day 131, Sunday, May 10th

Happy Mother's Day

Day 132, Monday, May 11th

Gas prices are LOW ($1.85 per gallon), and I used all my Safeway fuel points to get an additional $1.00 off.  I filled up for $14.40.  

Day 133, Tuesday, May 12th

Dave made it home from Montana this afternoon and I caught him and Logan playing Frisbee. 

Mother's Day: 5/10/20

The kids made me breakfast this morning. 

Logan is explaining their breakfast creation, Ry is holding my banana, and Presley has left to buy me a coffee. 

We went swimming this morning.  

And Dave had to drive to Montana for work and he left about noon. 

Tricia suggested a Mother's Day Zoom and Cristy set it all up for us. 

While on the Zoom call, Dave texted that they had stopped for gas in Kellogg. 

It was another small way to connect us to Grandma Berries today. 

Because Dave was going to be gone on Sunday, we went to visit Grandma and Papa Nelson in Waterville on Saturday. 

They've been doing a good job of sheltering in place. 

Presley made me a wonderful tasting cake today. 

She melted down a green jolly rancher to create the edible leaves on the flowers. 

And because no Mom should cook on Mother's Day, the kids placed an online order at Olive Garden and went to pick it up. 

Presley texted me the car line to pick up your order curbside. 

We ate outdoors. 

The table top fire pit was one of my Mother's Day gifts. 

We were missing Dave's long arm for the selfie, but Logan did a great job too. 

Moms should also never have to pick up dog poop on their Mother's Day evening walk so Harper took charge of that this evening :).

Harper had a Mother's Day assignment on her google classroom this week. 

I texted this out to our family group chat :).

Lea's Day-Lea's, Week 18 (2020)

Day 120, Wednesday, April 29th

Presley gave me a pedicure. 

She offered, but I think she may have regretted that. 

Day 121, Thursday, April 30th

A game of Monopoly today. 

Day 122, Friday, May 1st

Presley just being a sweet sister and playing Barbies with Harper.

A trip to Safeway and a mask for safety for Harper Jean. 

Day 124, Sunday, May 3rd

Dave, Ry, and Chewy installing a new basketball rim. 

Day 125, Monday, May 4th

I made caramel squares and I think the edges were a little hard.

Day126, Tuesday, May 5th

Presley's online basketball award banquet. 

She was voted Most Improved Player. 

Our Life in Quarantine Part 2

Lots of new "normals" the past few weeks. 

Organizing google meets, zoom meetings, and using flip grids for both teachers/students and to stay connected to family. 

A Week 3 of Quarantine check in with the kids

Harper had a quarantine "HouseParty" with her friends. 

They decorated T-Shirts, ate candy, and watched a movie together. 

We finished our 1000 piece Disney puzzle.

We played the most cruel April Fool's Joke on the kids. 

I thought Ry might start to cry!

Amy set up our first family ZOOM meeting.

One of Logan's first assignments was preparing a dinner for his family. 

He made foil baked salmon and asparagus.

Thomas and Amy were the first people I knew that wore masks to the grocery store. 

(Now Costco is mandating it when you come in their stores)

Basketball games of 21 and HORSE are played pretty much every day. 

Ry got tired of his grown out hair so Dave shaved it off for him.

Harper joined in on a google meet with her Math Is Cool teacher. 

We all gathered in the living room on April 6th to hear Govenor Inslee officially close school for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. 

(I love Harper's arm around Presley)

Week 4 Check In

Harper's first online assignment was showing a picture of her work station. 

Presley doing a little school work outside in the sunshine.

Logan doing some reading outside too.

Logan's been doing quite a bit of running and biking. 

We were driving home and passed him as he ran. 

We stopped to give him a quick drink of water and off he went. 

Two mom friends have texted me to tell me they've seen Logan jogging along the canal. 

Logan and Rylan biked Sage Hills one morning. 

We like our nightly walks too. 

There are stickers in every store reminding you to stay 6 feet apart from everyone. 

We had a ZOOM birthday party for Joe!

Chewy has learned that he can fit through our fence. 

We tried putting a pool noodle in front to stop him, but he figured that out pretty quickly. 

Another one of Harper's assignments--

she had to make a fort and take the measurements to figure out the area. 

Rylan is learning the theme of the movie UP on his saxophone. 

And Presley was accepted into the Running Start college program for fall. 

And more favorite memes:

The Tiger King funnies keep coming!

Seriously!
