Homebound - reached week 5 of COVID-19


We are still stuck at home.  Although the pace of things have slowed down, the weeks are flying by.
  

Easter came and went.

Luckily, I had kept a bunch load of decorating kits from years before so we could dye eggs.

The kids haven't lost their touch.

I also found loot for an Easter egg hunt.

Times like this I'm glad I hoard stuff in the garage.

The kids had their Spring Break.


The weather was good to us.

I made quarantine bread! I didn't have any yeast so I made soda bread without caraway seeds.

Chili night was complete.


Keeping recipe cards from Hello Fresh helps with meal planning.  Plus, buying your own ingredients is soooo much cheaper!


I got some thumbs down when I added spinach to my curry.  


But thumbs up when I served brownie a la mode for dessert.

Presley learned to make easy Miso soup.

He has virtual playdates weekly.  He misses his friends so much.

My hair is getting long.  We all need haircuts bad.


Favorite family time of the day is breakfast.


Presley won't eat eggs unless they are cut up in tiny pieces.  Who does that?


I cleaned out Portia's closet and found a treasure.


David found his own treasure at the Korean market.


I hope it's soft because this family has tender tushies.
