Day 43

Not unlike the first 42 days. We did stuff. Here are some pics. There was a little bit of shopping for an upcoming birthday and a trip to Hope and Home for the littles to spend some Zoondoogles! Fina (and family) jumped back into mask production for TimberCreek Church. Dinner from the Club was the pork ribs family-style offering, very good. We ordered too much, but that's OK, lunch tomorrow! We finished Schitt$ Creek this evening.

A Lexi project

We call this the Poop-a-Roo. Can you guess why?

Having the humans around all day, and the puppies, is exhausting!

Some of the SITW folks wanted to know how we
got our tomato plants so big. AeroGarden grow light.
No affiliation, just happy customers.

More masks for TimberCreek Church.

Fina won second place for her mug design (right) at Hope and Home.
Her prize was a gift card to Dutch Bros Coffee. Thanks for their sponsorship!

AeroGarden has all kinds of plant growing systems, including those
you can start seeds early in the season and transplant outside when ready.

AJ's been running to the mailbox for his new chemistry kit for days.
It came today.

Chicks at Hope and Home

AJ's SITW tomato plants are budding!

It took YEARS to finish this quilt. Tracy started it around
the time Matteo was born (he is now 12) and Lynn used this COVID
time to finish it. It has a soft fuzzy cuddle back and ocean
waves quilting! We will most likely give it to a future foster
kiddo (as in temporary placement, not grandkid)
or Ronald McDonald House.

Day 42

We welcome our newest graduate to the clan! Private Samuel Regusci graduated this morning from basic training and M1A1 tank school as part of Fort Benning's Bulldog Company 19K Class 20-001. We "attended" via Facebook live. Lots of online school work. Some very interesting side projects and activities (see the pics). Lynn and Jamie did an online audition for Voices Beyond the Veil being produced by Village Arts. It'll be done by actors in their own homes filming the scenes (no more than 2 to a scene) and then put all together into a video. Good thing to keep on auditioning (never did hear back from Agamemnon). Pizza and lasagna from Walters.

Singing and Signing

Kinetic sidewalk chalk drawing

AJ did about four of these.

Fina needed to do a little singing

Day 41

Earth Day! David and Jonny drew a picture for the occasion. Lexi got into the banana bread business. Everyone got their school work done for the day. And the littles enjoyed the teacher reading them a story of the wide-mouthed frog online. Fina opened up a hair salon. Dinner from the Club tonight!

Another round of Zelda Monopoly.
Don't ever let AJ get the row of reds and yellows.

Day 40

Aren't many Biblical events 40 days long? I think we've reached Biblical proportions. Back to school work today (teacher's have a work day on Mondays and school for the kids is Tuesday-Friday). Nana made some deviled eggs! Our school district just announced we're done for the year. It'll be tele-learning through May. Got kinda physical in the family room this afternoon.

COVID-19 modeling

Another round of Challah bread

The new "classroom."

Monopoloy Zelda (bought with zoondoogles).

The old kitchen table makes a nice game table downstairs.

Day 39

Tracy had a couple online medical appointments today, one for Matteo and one with a neurologist. Another pond trip today, and this one included a third pond. The ponding folks stopped at Chick-Fil-A on the way home. There was quite a line of cars there. Jamie and Lynn closed the day with a Zoom birthday party. Loved Codename and Just One, the two games we played with hundreds of miles of social distancing.

Lexi made this for the birthday party.

Fina made Challah bread. Really good.

Trees are starting to leaf out.

Lots of spiders running around on the pond bank.
