Quarantine Day 51: A Warm Sunny Saturday

By
The kids woke up around 7 and went down to watch tv. Today's program of choice was Wild Krats. I like this cartoon because it teaches them about animals! JP was up with his alarm so that he could get the part that was delivered to our house at 8am and head in to work at the base. I slept until around 9:30, got up and then made the kids breakfast and walked the dog.

Today JP had to go to Natick for the day to fix stuff at the base. The girls and I hopped in the car and headed to Needham, where we were picking up a box of produce that will last us the week. A man on the Needham Yard Sale FaceBook page has teamed up with a produce distributor to distribute produce easier to folks and have less human interaction than at the supermarket. So we headed there to pick up our produce. I learned that they also do coffee pick up, which we did last week, and wine pick up! After getting our produce, we headed to Nana's Needham house to get the Blue Apron that was accidentally delivered to their house. Some how Nana ordered blue apron without knowing it! So lucky us, we get to have the food! After picking up the blue apron food from Needham, plus a few other things from Nana's fridge/cupboard - flour, brown sugar, dressing, soy vey and jelly!

After getting home it was SO nice out, that we spent the rest of the day outside! We played in the hose, had a water balloon fight with the neighbors, rode bikes & roller races around the circle, and had a mini summer olympics at the Rogers! We enjoyed being outside all day, so much so that we should've put on sun screen! At the end of the day we all got a bit of sun on our face, shoulders and back!! Tomorrow, sunscreen!

I made sweet potato quesadillas, a blue apron special, for dinner. I would totally make these again! Naomi loved it, Juliet not so much. And as this was a meal for 2, I didn't get a chance to try them! I had the leftovers! But I would make it again!! A good veggie meal!!

As I was cooking, I had one of my favorite shows on, NCIS. The girls were outside and not around to watch, as it's not really appropriate for them to watch. But they came in as dinner was ready and watched the end. I think that it was interesting to them but also a bit scary. So they decided to sleep in Naomi's room together tonight.


After a relaxing tub, JP and I watched a comedy special to try to take our mind off of the craziness that we are living in! And then headed 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...
