Quarantine Day 44: In Person Visit with the Grandparents!

By
JP and I woke up after 9 this morning and then dragged our feet getting out of bed! Dave facetimed at around 10 and we were still in bed! By the time we got downstairs it was around 11! The kids were up since 7 and had been watching tv all morning! JP made breakfast while I walked Pip. It was so nice out! So we ate breakfast, played one round of Forbidden Island and then packed up the bikes and went over to Encompass Gym parking lot.

Encompass has a nice flat surface for Juliet to practice riding her bike with training wheels. We wanted her to get comfortable on it as she is a little timid! Grammy walked down and met up with us. It was so warm out. The kids and JP rode around all over the parking lot and around the building. Marti and I found a bench and moved it into the sun at the gym that we sat on with our masks watching the kids! We had to move it into the shade after a bit as we were getting too hot in the sun! After a while Nana and Baba showed up for a visit too! They were up in the area signing some papers for their will or trust. I know Nana told me what it was for but I wasn't really listening. Sorry Nana! Anyway, it was great to see them!! The kids all enjoyed the day hanging out with their grandparents even if we couldn't hug or snuggle with them.

We headed back to our house with Nana and Baba in tow. All of us were very hungry for lunch so we ordered subs from Loui's Pizza. This is only the second time we had ordered take out. But it was the fastest way to feed us all! JP dropped us at the house and went back to get the food with his mask and gloves. We were very careful unwrapping the food and placing it on a clean surface and then washing out hands. What a strange world we are living in right now.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch in our front yard in the sun... well the sun had gone in and it was actually a bit chilly! Soon after Nana and Baba headed back to the cape. JP mowed the lawn, Naomi played Nintendo and Juliet napped. She napped so long that we ha to wake her around 8:45 to get up and go to bed! I tried waking her up a few times but that did NOT work.

We finally got up stairs in time for the Pratt Family Game Night - and it was kids addition. The girls played the first round with us. Then Juliet and Baba decided it was time for bed. Naomi, Uncle Dave, Nana and I played two more rounds. Naomi held her own! She was reading and typing quickly to play too! Once the game was over Juliet was not actually sleepy but hungry. So JP went and made her something to eat while I put Naomi to bed.

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...
