A Little Bit of Normalcy

Well, we're 10 days in with looser restrictions due to Covid-19. Last weekend was the first of the looser restrictions. My sister, RicAnn, and her family had come into town from Illinois and so we spent some time with them before they left. And yesterday we had my other sister, ValaRae, and her family over, along with my parents to celebrate Mother's Day. The kids played outside most of the day.

The boys played recklessly on the scooters--zooming down the hill without helmets and some of them in flip-flops (Gibson!). Luckily there was only a minor injury: Anderson got some pretty good road rash after crashing a neat trick in which he and his cousin Camdyn ride 3 scooters side-by-side, each with one foot on their own scooter and one foot on a scooter between them. They actually rode very successfully down the hill, it was the dismount that caused the wreck. Ander tried to get off before Camdyn and they both went down.  All four boys also played a lot of air soft, off and on throughout the day. The dad's took the boys on a hike to one of the nearby waterfalls.

Lilla and Maylen also played outside all day, though I'm not totally sure what they were doing, just playing under the trees. They did paint several rocks to look like dogs and were playing with those.


Grace and Aimery hid away in Grace's room most of the day, except when Nona took them on a Fiiz soda run.

Kit and Everette shared a popsicle and played cars.

For dinner we had huge Italian feast-so much food! I made three loaves of our favorite "Boston Bread" That pretty much took me all morning. We ate on the front porch. It's my favorite spot!

We ended the day with some Mother's Day pampering for Nona and a campfire.

Now if we can all just continue to avoid Covid. Nate was alerted last night that one of his employee's mother has it and now the employee has a high fever. People he works with have most probably been exposed. And I really worry about my mom. Most of the death's have been in people over 60, many with underlying health conditions, which is my mom exactly. :( And in my opinion, she is being quite reckless in going out regularly and traveling to see grandchildren. Sigh.
