I think we are on Day 18 of social distancing and mostly staying home. Ollie and I both wake up in the worst moods. As the day gets going, we do better, but the prospect of limited social engagement every morning weighs heavy.
People are so sweet and resilient though!
*Our neighborhood is rocking the bear hunt (putting stuffed animals in windows) so you can have something to look for and count on the million walks we go on.
*Jon started reading the same book as me so we could do at home book clubs.
*The teachers from school had a parade-like pep rally and drove around all the kids house in a long line of cars honking, waving, and yelling greetings out the window.
*The memes of this pandemic are going to kill me. (Better that than covid 19, I say!) I die laughing every day and it is necessary.
*Ollie and I have been baking up a storm and crossing things off our bucket list. So far we have made a yule log. Next up, macaroons! Jon read somewhere that we will all come out of this expert bakers or alcoholics. I'm trying to stick with option A! Fingers crossed.
*My brother organized a family dinner for us across three states using technology. I'm definitely becoming more grateful for facetime/google duo/zoom/whatever.
*Jennifer and Jessica came over and hid Easter Eggs and candy in our yard. Then they called us and told us to come out. While the boys were looking for the eggs, they pelted them with water balloons from the back of a truck. Super fun way to see friends and keep our distance.
*My sister-in-law told us about the app Bunch and we've spread the news among our friends. Ollie plays on there every day and is so grateful to see friends and family.
Ok, mom/teacher is needed. Pictures coming another day!
