Too Blue for School

So this happened in the ‘hood. Most of the kids running around Hana Court now have “semi-permanent” (whatever that means) blue and/or pink hair. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-many times, I’m sure- THERE ARE NO RULES IN QUARANTINE!

Fishing in quarantine

Your grandpas will get you outside for the real thing soon enough little buddy.

This girl knows how to live

Breakfast in bed like the queen she is 

Virtual dance class

Silly

One thing i love about where we live is that we are surrounded by super fertile land. Our house was built on old greenhouses and we are still surrounded by them. When we go on walks, we usually come home with a stroller filled with blackberries, limes, lemons, oranges, kumquats, lowquats, passion fruit and on and on that our neighbors leave out to share. You know who else loves this? Willy- our opossum. Awesome. He won’t leave... awesome

 

Nailed it

Work has been beyond exhausting

Cooking three meals a day at home has been exhausting 

Trying to squeeze in lesson plans has been exhausting

Nursing a 10 month old has been exhausting

Figuring out how to clean my house has been exhausting 

Quarantine has been exhausting 

Life has been exhausting 

I’m not hating this quarantine thing but I am tired

Isla’s outfit/face/mood just sums it up

Q and Isla decided they are turning their play house into a farmers’ market

Isla found a bone in her fish

Can’t tell if she thought it was awesome or disgusting... we’re just moving on.

Dinner Ninja

No idea what that is but here’s a pic

Kap trying to recreate Q’s 1st birthday invite

Not into his meds

Livin their best lives

He totally knows what to do with the comb

Still getting dressed up- still nowhere to go

I had to do her very precise hair chalk while pretending to be fully engaged in a team Zoom meeting. I failed on both fronts btw...

Most of my quarantine crew

Sunset at the Manor

Being at home has definitely helped us find time to enjoy the parts of our home that we don’t see often- like our deck. We have clearly been missing out.

Kap is demonstrating social distancing

Kills me that I can’t hug Ivy on her birthday

Easter-tine 2020

We normally host a super fun Easter party. You have to ask us what we’re doing that day to get on the invite list, we heat the pool, drink all day and have an adult Easter egg hunt. It’s the best. This year, we didn’t even get dressed up in Easter clothes- not even Isla. Though she does wear her collection of Easter dresses throughout the year so there’s that. Anyway, there were baskets, a few decorations and a kid hunt (with left over Halloween candy). It wasn’t perfect but I am so grateful that we have our health, home, jobs and each other right now. I know I’m getting my holidays mixed up...

Pictures were lagging also.

Bike Rides with the Manj

Q and I have been taking bike rides around the hood lately. Usually PK3 gets to do this with him but I’ve been stuck inside working so much that I’ve inserted myself into the rotation so I can get outside more. It’s really hard to say no to Q when he asks you 1,244 times to go on a ride. And I’m always so happy when we make the time- We have so much fun. The best part is that he talks the WHOLE time and makes sure to keep asking me questions (like my favorite food and favorite 5 parts of Easter) so the conversation never lags. I’m also always so impressed by his strength. He’s a pretty little dude still but he can power up hills like the best of them - while chatting away. Yesterday Q was adamant about bringing snacks and water on our ride so we could pull over if we got hungry. It was literally RIGHT before dinner and of course he wanted carb-loaded snacks but we did it and he thought it was so cool! It also gave me a chance to get a pic. Love you my big buddy!!

That age where they just want to take everything out of drawers

So proud!

FaceTime Foolin’

Q and Cameron were able to FaceTime one-on-one. Cameron’s mom sent me this pic from her phone that night. Apparently Cameron knows how to take pics and apparently Q had a great time!!

I love all these little faces so much!

WTF - Y tho?

Zoom meet-up

Nothing productive- just a bunch of awkward 1st graders who have been out of the social scene for a month. Distance learning starts on Monday- poor Señorita Martinez.

  

Our toaster is super in demand these days

Morning Frozen Yoga Sesh

Yeah- that’s a thing now. Quarantine is so weird.

This guy was missing his fresh fruits and veggies

Never ever gets old

Nuckers

So dressed up

We should all be like Isla- quarantine or not, she always puts her best foot forward. She even made all that jewelry. 

New bike for Q!!!

And he’s “rippin’” On it. 

Absolutely no rules

Post nap Oatmeal toss

This is how I find Kap every time I go in to get him after he sleeps. He’s standing up. All the Oatmeals are on the floor and he is cracking up at himself.
