Pretty sure that the pull of sleep had a rock solid grip on small child and myself this morning. It hurt to wake up today.
Waking up was made more bearable though by Ben’s absolutely amazing, award-winning (ok, not yet, but they should be) hash browns.
School this morning started for Natalie with a culinary lesson, omelettes and hash browns to die for. We sometimes forget that Ben is a really great breakfast cook.

If I could, I’d eat potatoes all the time.
Children played in the yard again today, and were surprisingly understanding when told they couldn’t have a playdate. They kept the dogs entertained, made deviled eggs all on their own, and even listened to audiobooks without being told!
I’m thinking this quarantine should have happened a long time ago!
We did art again today, watercolor paper with oil pastels, and then we posted them in a Facebook group which will hopefully share the pictures with folks in the local nursing homes, since they can’t have any visitors.



Whatever food was left on the dining room table was just devoured by a furball who shamefully waltzed to the back door when his name was called.
I firmly believe I’d be a millionaire if it wasn’t for all the food wasted in this house…
Maybe even a billionaire.
But at this rate, we will never actually know.
And considering the dog just ate eggs, I think he’s initiating a banishment to the back yard for 24 hours…
I’m really enjoying this time with the kids, even though I’d like to leave the house. I’d like to see some friends. I’d really like to go out for dinner and let someone else do ALL the work…
Friends are 100% welcome to come park a chair on my front lawn and chat through the windows. It’s the best workaround I can think of.
My only request?
Bring take out!
End transmission.
