It’s a Weekend

[guster]

Morning!
How are you feeling this morning, tallb?

[wineallthetime]

Morning! L woke at 4 because of a storm so we have been up. MH worked until midnight so he's still sleeping.

[mwhip]

Morning! Absolutely nothing going on today. Probably do some laundry and cleaning, but mostly just watch tv and maybe get outside.

I'm at least saving money by not shopping.

[nam2013]

Morning. I didn’t sleep well, so I’m tired. We’re halfway trough the day. Nothing in the agenda. We might do a little bike ride just to get out there, the play area was really busy just now, so that’s not an options. I can’t believe it is easter next week, time is going extremely slow and fast at the same time.

[chrisy01]

Morning!! I have to figure out something else for L’s Easter basket. His main gift is still in Germany. The original shipping company is giving it the USPS so I don’t think it’s going to make it. I’m trying to find something cool but not expensive since he will still get the original gift idea. Any thoughts?

This is not my year for gift giving. C’s birthday is this Friday and the gift the kids got him was a new video game that was suppose to be released March 10th right before the release date it changed to April 10th so that’s coming late. Then the gift for our wedding anniversary was suppose to arrive on March 31st but I got notification that it just shipped from Europe and it won’t get here until April 9th

I officially got word yesterday that WFH is continued through at least April 18th but no answer on when our business will reopen.

[chrisy01]

Oh today L and I are doing a Zumba/Moana thing this afternoon and I have a test and 3 papers to do. Plus we need to make banana bread since our bananas are ripe enough for that.

[tgrimes]

chrisy01 Tell me about this Zumba/Moana thing.

[nam2013]

chrisy01 not for every boy I think, but I just gave ds a holahoop which he loves and I bought him a small solar system for a rainy day.

[tgrimes]

MH is at the store to see if he can score some Kleenex and vegetables. Then he’s taking the kids on a nature walk so I can get some work done.

[flamingo]

Morning!

We may run to Home Depot for some stuff we need (and by this I mean we’ll sit in the car while DH goes in 🤪)

It’s supposed to be a decent weekend here so hopefully we can get outside.

chrisy01 how about a Super Soaker or something else fun for summer? I always do summer-themed baskets with new swim suits, etc and I think that’s what I’m going to do for B this year.

[joelies]

Morning! I overdid it running this morning - it felt good at the time but now I feel a bit lightheaded. I'm trying to drink a ton of water and take this opportunity to eat too many carbs.

It's supposed to be a rainy weekend so I need to get the boys out ASAP before it starts. A weekend stuck inside with no place to go sounds hellish.

It’s a series of YouTube videos. He enjoyed the Zumba class at they had at school so I’m hoping this works better then the Frozen Yoga. The link below has a list of different Disney Zumba videos we are doing the Moana set.

Morning. Rainy day here so it’s going to be a movie marathon day. The kids already rewatched the movie from last night. They came down and turned it on before we were even up.

L slept in his crib for the first time! And since H and N have been sleeping together in her room, I slept in Hs bed so I could be in the same room as L, assuming he’d be up a lot. He had a better night than usual, so hopefully the trend continues

slenle What movie did they watch?

Legends of the guardians. I’m really surprised they liked enough to rewatch. I wasn’t really paying attention so I’m not sure what it’s really about.

M has watched Stargirl, Zombies & Zombies 2 on Disney+. We tried High School Musical for the 2nd time last night. The first time she gave up within the first few minutes.

Hi!
I tried to mix up the Easter presents this year bc I have no idea what the state of the world will be so I got some inside/ outside toys instead of just all outside stuff.
-walkie talkies
-head lamps
-kites
-uno flip (thanks, mwhip)
-twister

[guster]

slenle, Josie and Charlie have been having sleepovers in Charlie’s bed every night. I secretly love that I only have two sets of sheets to wash and change because of it!

[chrisy01]

E loves frozen 2. She like singing with Elsa. L is obsessed with the Netflix series The Deep and Elena is a favorite as well.

I actually got him toys for the series The Deep. The ones on Amazon for poor ratings so I bought them directly from the company that makes them, which was on Germany.

Thanks for the ideas flamingo and nam2013. C and I talked and we are getting him more art supplies and coloring books since he’s been enjoying arts and crafts with me during our “shelter in place”

[nam2013]

chrisy01 I saw this and thought of you.

Oh good. We haven't done anything yet.

L is obsessed with it. He has started reading more about the ocean and sea animals because of it.

[guster]

Josie is taking a zoom class right now with her tap teacher. It’s surreal! I’m hiding in the corner of her room in case there are technical difficulties.

[tallb]

Morning. Made pancakes for the kids and now in bed with k and doing a Target drive up order. Pretending everything is fine and I'm actually cruising around the store.. getting some fold up soccer nets, stepping Stones, workbooks, Easter candy, and baby food, so about as random as a regular order.

My hand numbness may be carpel tunnel, lol, my phone usage lately is a bit absurd 🙈.

[klong11]

Made some blueberry pancakes. I had mashed a banana in them as well, since it was ripe and I didn't want to just throw it away. As Cadence was plowing through her pancakes I asked if she could taste the banana. She immediately stopped eating and said she didn't like the banana in them. 🤦 I should have just kept my mouth shut.

Ha. I had an uncle who ‘hated’ onion, mushrooms and garlic, but loved—for example—my mom’s lasagna which had all 3 in the sauce 🤦🏻‍♀️ As long as he wasn’t aware of those ingredients in something, he’d eat it happily and rave about it.
