Week 3 of Quarantine!

 Last Thursday, Madi and I had to go run errands and it made us feel so normal. 

First stop was to my friend Jennifer that makes cookie kits. 

 Madi was so excited to decorate a dozen farm animal cookies. 

She did a great job decorating but loved icing the pig cookies the most.  

 The other errand was to pick up her new school shirt "Pirates Learn at Home." 

 We saw that kids are doing an Easter egg hunt around town so we had a family coloring time so we can hang these in our windows so kids can have fun hunting for them during walks or drives. 

 Another trip in the car just to get out of the house.  Madi made her own home made version of a white mocha drink from Starbucks.  She said it was good! 

 We turned our driveway into a huge Chutes & Ladders game board. 

 It was tough to make but fun to play!

 Then we had a fun snacky lunch complete with a few games of Uno.  

 Love hearing all about Tripp's accomplishments!

 We ran to check on Grandpa so while we were out we went through the Starbucks drive through for a quick treat for this girl. 

 The next night we loaded up in our pajamas and went to Marble Slab for ice cream!

 We made a fun banner for some upcoming birthdays.

Grandma B.'s 93rd birthday was on Tuesday the 7th so we sent her a fun video!

 One of Madi's friends Briley's birthday was also on Tuesday and her mom organized a surprise birthday parade.  So we loaded up and Madi yelled from our sunroof. 

 There were a ton of cars so hopefully she felt celebrated!

 We were pretty happy with what we made from things around the house! 

 Grandpa Mayberry stopped by with lunch on Monday so we rode around and Madi wanted to hop in the back for a few seconds. 

 Trying to do an ariel!

 And now, Madi's latest interest is learning to ride a skateboard.   

Whatever gets us outside and is active, is what we are going with right now! 

Week 2 of Quarantine

 Normally this time of year, we make a cute chalkboard sign that says Hello Spring but this year Madi did a "Bye Corona" sign. 

Sunday, March 22 was our first time to attend church online.  It wasn't the same but we were thankful to worship together. 

 Grandma Mayberry has been Facetiming us on accident so we get to see her ear up close each time! 

 Quarantine allows a lot of time to practice piano!

 We saw a fun idea to make a chalk mosaic outside . . . 

 The finished masterpiece . . . 

 We've been helping this cutie with homework some too through Facetime!

 Not sure why but Madi wanted me to take her picture like this . . . 

Uncle Rod brought Pistol by for a visit but our puppies, especially Biscuit, weren't too thrilled. 

 Tuesday night called for ice cream from J's Creamery! 

 Madi wrote letters to Grandma Mayberry and Grandma B.  My mom sent me a picture of Madi's letter to her and it made us laugh! 

 The puppies aren't allowed in the bedrooms but I guess during quarantine anything goes! 

 I love having a Dean that attends our Zoom meeting like this and doesn't even say a word, just starts the meeting.  :) 

 On Wednesday, Madi's old elementary school did a parade through town and came down our street.  She loved seeing her old teachers drive by and wave. 

 Madi tired a trick of using a pencil and a straightener to curl her hair . . . pretty cute!

 Warm spring nights call for volleyball and hot tub time out back!

 Facetiming with the cousins . . . 

 More driving practice but this time in my car.

 Sunday, March 29th - another day of home church together! 

 Creative way to get in the backyard!

 First day of school online at home!

 More school work . . . By Tuesday she's almost done with this week's work. 

 Tuesday - on one of our daily walks!

 You want to make a brownie cake with icing?  Sure! 

 Finished project! 

 Madi's Girl Scout troop is amazing!  They let the girls choose a project from The Rustic Brush and delivered it to our door.  Then they are going to have a virtual meeting where the girls can show each other their completed project!

 Madi chose the board with her first and middle name with an arrow.  It turned out so cute!

 She said this is her "mourning" outfit when she learned school was closed until May 4th. 

 She made a boat out of a sheet and broom - I think this is what cabin fever looks like. 

April Fool's Day! 

Waking up to Daddy's face in the toilet!

 A spider on the toilet paper!

 And finding dog poop ALL OVER YOUR ROOM!

 She loves April Fool's jokes so she reminded me the day before that it was going to be April Fool's tomorrow. :) 

 Today was Madi's first vitural piano lesson with Ms. Amy.  

Thankful for this virtual world we live in, but we are ready for everything to go back to normal!
