Let the Quarantines Begin!

A lady who works at the school texted me this week and said, "OH MY WORD!  How many times have your kids been quarantined?!" 

First it was Kate, then Natalie, then Scott, and Scott again, and now Kate.  Thankfully the kids have stayed pretty healthy.  These two week quarantines are getting old though.  Surely this is about over??  The Sunny Days School District has been open more than I would have liked this school year!:)  Scout enjoys having classmates home though.

 Kate's latest argument when trying to convince me of something...

"Everyone else in my class wears short sleeves in January, and they are still alive."

"_______(a classmate) sits in the front seat, and she's still alive."   

We were playing a game of Taboo and it was Kate's turn to give the clues..."Mom does this A LOT!"  I was stumped.  Laundry??  Chauffeur?  Help with Homework?  Clean?   

Time ran out..."What was it, Kate?"   

"BELCH!" she said frustrated.  How could we not guess it with such an obvious clue?!  (Gasp!)

One more Kate "funny"...Kate loves to wear the same heart dress to church.  It's her go-to outfit, for sure.  So I encouraged her to choose something different to wear one week.  "You wear that a lot.  Can you choose a different dress?"

 Kate:  "It's okay.  My teacher (a man) wears the same thing almost every week too." 

Kate & Natalie were inspired to shoot hoops on a cold January day after watching the high school girls' basketball team win another game.

Couple of cat pictures- Upside down Prince and Piper showing you how she feels about too many quarantines!

The grandparents have taken up puzzles again in the new year.  Here is Mike with a puzzle of Rocky Mountain National Park- a place he enjoys visiting.  

 

Here my parents are with their biggest puzzle yet at 3,000 pieces! (I don't think they would recommend it!)
