Our New Normal

I can't believe that we are half way through our fourth week with being home due to COVID 19 and we are trying to find our new normal. It is definetly a juggling act that isn't easy.  Brett and I are still working. I try to work from home when I'm with the kids and then go into the office a few days when Brett is home. Having to work from home and do school work with the kids hasn't been easy, but we are making it work! Luckily the weather has been nice the last few days and we were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine. We live less than a mile away from the beach, so we have been taking lots of walk to collect shells and rocks to paint! We have been doing a lot of baking, enjoying naps, and just being with each other!

I know this is a scary and stressful time for everyone, but hoping that all this family time will be something very special to look back on! Harper is doing a journal for our local Historical  Museum to document what she has done during this time away from school.

We have some fun things to celebrate coming up. Brett's birthday is next Wednesday along with Connor's Birthday and then Easter. Easter will definitely be different this year. No get togethers! Luckily the Bunny will still come to visit!

I hope that everyone is doing well during this time! Time to make the girls their to do list for the day and get ready for work! Have a great day!

Mollie's Turns 9

How is Mollie 9? She is the sweetest girl, who has the biggest heart. This year she has surprised me with stepping outside of her comfort zone and doing things that are pushing her to be the best Mollie! She loves to dancing and loves anything unicorn related. You should see her room, but that is for another post! She started soccer and loved it and will be doing spring travel team! She will be playing basketball during the winter!

We had such a great time celebrating Mollie. We had a family party on her birthday and then the following weekend we had her friends party. She has such a great group of friends! This year Mollie wanted a Unicorn themed party. So we went with it because who knows how many more years she will want a theme for her birthday! We started off with painting unicorns. I got the unicorns from Oriental Trade. They were so cute and the kids had fun painting them. After painting the unicorns we decorated sugar cookies in the shape of unicorns and rainbows. I had a lot of fun with this theme. We ended the party with an Unicorn Piñata which of course is always the hit of the party.  It was such a fun afternoon! I think Mollie is already brainstorming for next year! She says we have to go big next year for double digits!

June's Happenings

How is it the last weekend in June and next week is 4th of July. June was a busy month with end of the year school activities, I started a new job, we saw Toy Story 4, enjoyed lots of ice cream and going to the beach. Looking forward to July and August! August we head to Florida for a family vacation! I hope everyone enjoys their Summer too!
