November Tidbits 2020

Brandon and I got a date afternoon one day!  We went out to lunch and took a long bike ride together.  it was just what we needed!

As for everyone, Thanksgiving was quiet this year, but we snuck in one picture with McKinley!


Here was the Thanksgiving dessert...pumpkin trifle!


Of course, more baking this month!  And we got to use a birthday gift that Aubrey got!

The girls had a really sweet tea time one evening, just the three of us.  We crafted, talked, and enjoyed the yummy scones we made together.






More Harry Potter themed goodies using her very creative gifts.


We set up the tent in the middle of our family room one day during Thanksgiving break.  It barely fit in our room, but the girls had an awesome time reading and watching a movie in it!







We had a spa day one night, but these face masks creeped me out so much they didn't keep them on for very long.


This girl.  Lucy is almost always willing to go for walks with me, and this particular afternoon was a perfect one :).  We just had the chance to just sit and talk...just the two of us.



Nana made her annual birthday tea for Aubrey.  It was a fancy tea party theme complete with homemade hats and all the goodies this birthday girl could want!







More baking!


November marked the end of distance learning for these girls (but not for mom).  They got to go to school from 8:20am to 1:20pm each day, and boy were they ready to go back!




Here comes December!

April Tidbits 2020

We got a Christmas in April for April fools from our dear Nana. 

We got a sourdough started from my sweet friend Tina.  This is how she had us pick it up from her home.  That fresh, still warm out of the oven bread was absolutely delicious!

While at her house, she took us on a little tour of her farm and we got to meet and pet her alpacas!  It was a fun field trip afternoon.

 We baked a lot this month!  First sourdough breads came out pretty well!



These girls had a sleepover together and this is how we found them as we checked on them before going to bed.  Love them so much!


Lots of walks taken this month!


More baking!  The lemon meringue pie was yummy!






Dinner al fresco!


Lucy lost 5 teeth in two months!


Distance learning and teaching still in full swing!


Physical therapy exercises with the girls by my side.


We enjoyed the backyard even more this month!


We even cooked and baked outside!


Our dear Dido made us a handcrafted game!





We painted and crafted a lot too.



This flooding is why we need to finish our backyard! Yikes!




It's getting there!




At the end of the month, my school did a drive by parade for our students, and we had a couple of  honorary Wildcats join us!
