Day 35

Bitter cold and snowy. It's amazing how much colder 28 degrees can feel on one day compared to 28 degrees on another day. And AJ chose to visit the pond again today (see pics from yesterday, at the bottom). We didn't last very long, but we did get Starbucks on the way home. Tonight's movie: Little Fockers (which completes the series). Homemade burritos for dinner, thanks Matt!

Day 34

Another school day. A very productive one, in fact. Even Lexi got some lessons in. Check out the pics at the bottom: AJ's pond project from school. Chicken piccata for dinner. The dishwasher's software was successfully updated. Tonight's movie: Meet the Fockers. Fina said she finished the internet!

How long has it been!?

The plants were knee high to a grasshopper when all this started.

Every darn evening when we're trying to relax.

Tracy has developed x-ray vision.

AJ took us "ponding" today. An SITW project.

Day 33

Back to school. Chick-fil-A for lunch, hot dog smorgasbord board for dinner. Connected with Village Arts today to be part of Voices Beyond the Veil. Lynn might join as well. Also might be involved in a game show test production after the stay-at-home is over. Lots of theater stuff popping up. Tonight's movie: Meet the Parents.

Day 32

Snowed all day and got to single digits overnight. We kinda like this day between Sunday and a school day. Have we gotten rid of "Mondays"?! The kids continued playing with some of the Easter toys, and devices, etc. Nana and Papa's new kitchen table arrived today (sans chairs) so the old "high-top" went downstairs to be a game table. Tracy made a Costco run today which turned out to be a good idea. The weather kept the store way empty. She's managed to get the job done with once-every-two-week trips to Costco! A big hit today was directed drawing online that Nana found. It was carbonara re-run for lunch and steaks and ceasar salad for dinner. Tonight's movie: Crazy Rich Asians.

Otrio's Tic Tac Toe is pretty fun.

They can follow their cars on a phone app!

Day 31: Easter

Despite being locked in at home, the Regusci Family decked out for Easter Sunday morning. Looking sharp! We all watched the TimberCreek online service then eased through the day with Easter baskets, Easter egg hunt, with intervals of playing with the stuff in between. Carbonara, ceasar salad, and garlic bread for lupper (3pm). Daytime movies were Cheaper by the Dozen 1 & 2. Evening movies were Father of the Bride 1 & 2. All the day's photos are here.
