Quarantine Day 38: Animal Kingdom

Image
By
Today we ventured out to Animal Kingdom. The girls woke up first and watched a few shows on dragons to learn about those incase we see them.  Then once we woke up I played the opening song to the Lion King down stairs for them!  Then we had breakfast outside overlooking the savannah. We saw some birds and a puggle in the wild!.

After breakfast we helped the zookeepers with the animals. We got to brush the puggle in his natural habitat - begging for food on the front porch. They were so lucky to have this opportunity and be chosen by the staff! Once the puggle, named Pippin, was all brushed, or had had enough of the brushing, the girls got to play in the savannah where it had snowed yesterday. Though it was 60 degrees, the snow from yesterday was still on the ground. They made all kinds of snow mud pies.

After the outdoor play on the savannah, we came inside and had a animal scavenger hunt with the stuffies. Mom and dad hid them and the kids looked for them. Then they hid them and we had to find them. They were very meticulous about hiding the animals, Naomi wrote down what animal was hidden where so we could check it off and make sure we found them all!

The girls discovered their bubble wands from last Disney trip after lunch and we changed out the batteries and filled them up and they ran around the house for several hours playing with their wands. Meanwhile Pip got his nails trimmed and I transplanted our radishes that had out grown their small pot!

Later that afternoon we checked in with the Briggs clan on google hangouts and played Scattergories with them! Everyone seems to be hanging in, working virtually, keeping socially distant and figuring out how to get their groceries the safest way!

Today was the first time since we've been quarantining ourselves that we ordered take out. We got Millis House pizza delivered tonight. We got exact change and when we handled the box we washed our hands right after. JP opened the box and I put all the pizza slices on a cookie sheet and he went outside and threw out the pizza box then came in and washed his hands. We wiped down the counter top right after. This seems crazy to do this, but it's better safe than sorry! I'm nervous about doing that, and wasn't super excited about it, but I also didn't want to cook dinner as it was late when we got off the call with the Briggs.

Then it was the normal routine. Dinner, brushing teeth, pajamas, books, bed for the girls. Once we got them in bed we had a Pratt family google hang out and game night. We played a few games that Uncle Dave had on his computer.

And now we're headed to bed. And just as we're about to go to bed a child comes in saying she feels warm.... she isn't warm, no temp, but she's awake late not feeling great.

Tomorrow we head to Hollywood Studios.

Quarantine Day 24: Technology, Fixing Old Things, Long Walks, Family Game Night

By
Charles River by our old house! Sunday. This morning the kids got up before us and headed downstairs to watch some Batman cartoon episodes from the 90s that JP got for them. Naomi (& Juliet sort of) has been reading the three Batman comics that we got from Park Street Books that have Spanish on the sides and in some of the frames. One of the great things about technology, or at least the technology in our house, is that we can cast stuff from our phone to the TV in the family room and our bedroom. So while JP and I were just getting up and dressed, he cast the Sunday school stream from the temple. This of course interrupted the Batman cartoon. I peaked my head out the bedroom door and heard..."but we were watching Batman!" The Sunday school songs and chat from the Rabbi's today was about Passover as it is this coming Wednesday evening. After the morning service 45 minutes later there was a zoom session with the Rabbi's to have more of a conversation and so...

Quarantine Day 69: meetings, biking, digging for fossils

By
Today was a typical quarantine day. We got up. Walked Pip. Made breakfast. And then JP and I got to working while the kids played outside. It was a gorgeous day. The kids went on a fossil expedition digging up rocks in my front flower bed. They apparently promised to leave the flowerbeds as they found them. But that’s not what happened. Then they played in the hose as it was hot out! The rest of the afternoon was spent playing with the kids in the neighborhood. In the evening we walked Pip and went over to the neighbors that was hatching Chickens. He’s going to let us foster a few of them for the next few weeks. Hopefully this will move us forward with us getting our own chickens! So after the chick visit we went out and got a few things to raise them. A heat lamp, a water bottle, sawdust flakes and chick food. Tomorrow we pick up the chicks. Then dinner, books and bed for the kids. And school Committee Meeting for mom.

Quarantine Day 31: More landscaping and Easter Sunday

By
Signs of spring Easter Sunday. This morning the kids got up at the same time, around 7:30 and they went down and watched some TV and played some video games. I got up and made some breakfast for the gang and then we headed outside. It was almost 60 degrees today. The girls helped me move some of the plants around in our front flower beds. We moved 2 daisy plants, 2 echinacea plants, and 3 day lilies. The side of the house had nothing in the beds there, so we moved 5 plants there. Hopefully the plants make it!!! Then we did a general clean up of the beds. Juliet got a bit bored and went and helped JP dig out weeds for a bit. Then they went and practiced riding bikes. Juliet is a bit timid on her bike with training wheels but she took the bike for a spin around the neighborhood for a bit. Naomi seeing her decided she wanted to ride for a bit too, so she went off and rode her bike around the neighborhood chasing Jules. She's' still learning how to use the gears on her new bike...
