Week 8-Quarantine

It was such a beautiful week!  I'm starting week nine with lots of clouds and rain, it makes me realize that I'm a fair weather quaranteener:).  I'm much happier probably all the time when the sun is shining, but especially these days when it means that the kids are outside more! So as I look back on the pictures of Week 8, I appreciate that we had beautiful, warm weather! And gorgeous nights! We have a fire about once/year, and each time we do it, I think, we should do this more often:). 

I'm trying to have the kids be more active, therefore a game of kickball at night! Hard to get through a game in our household without someone having a fit about something, but it was still great to get out!

We've been having crepes once/week, which has been fun!

There was an awesome night when all five kids were having so much fun outside together playing capture the flag! I love when that happens:).

I don't take a lot of pics of them doing schoolwork, but they actually do do some work:).

The sandbox and trampoline continue to be great entertainment:).

I had an awesome Mother's Day! I got up, went for a run, and came back to a surprise brunch planned from the Wavery, and a big bouquet of peonies that the kids and Pat has picked for free! And Pat got the ingredients for mamosas, which we saved that for later in the day, which was so fun! 

After brunch, Pat and I got clicklist, then went for a drive with our coffees.  I can't remember the last time Pat and I had coffee together! Partly, because he doesn't drink a lot of coffee:). Then I rounded up the kids to go on a hike to the shrines.  It was nice and cool there on a hot day!
