Not even sure when this all started, I'm sure I could goggle it, but it doesn't really matter and so far we are lucky that it hasn't had a drastic impact on our lives. Kingston is still on school break and we are still working. Jonathan is now working from home and Suzanne takes both kids all day. It is quite and hard for the kids to not be able to play with the neighbors, but we are doing video calls with cousins and grandparents and writing letters. Julienna loves to color a picture and leave it on the neighbor kid's front step and then wait for a picture or note in return.
We are just spending the time together as a family and some days we drive each other crazy but we are pretty fortunate right now. Playing lots of games and getting outside. The kids have some pretty awesome aunts that leave packages on the doorstep. They got cookies to paint last week and now have probably 14 containers of homemade play-dough. Julienna played for hours with the play-dough because it was so soft and smelled like you could eat it (I think they used jello to color it). We've also done our fair share of baking. Banana muffins are our go-to and frozen cookie dough balls (we never bake them, just enjoy the dough).
On the nice days the kids search for bugs while I've been starting some yard stuff. Otherwise, we play baseball or tether-ball or run alongside Julienna as she learns to ride with no training wheels. It is a very weird time in the world, but we are lucky to have all our family and extended families healthy and at home. Kingston's teacher has been wonderful keeping us up to date on the happenings from there.
