And we have moments like these:
We're pretty easily entertained these days:

(They eat ALL the time!)
|
We have moments of creative design:
|
origami we made from a Grandma gift |
We have moments of physical activity:
|
|
Apparently, Spencer's legs weren't too short; we were putting him on the wrong vehicles! This has been sitting in our garage the whole time, and now he can ride like a big boy!! |
playing human Chutes and Ladders in a neighbor's driveway |
Speaking of physical activities (!), we were gifted an amazing bike seat that attaches to the front of my bike for Spencer to ride on and join the big guys on big rides. He LOVES it!

We have educational opportunities:

OVER |
At some point in May, "school" was over. "School" has looked quite different these last 3 months, and now it's time for summer "break."
| 
|
We have lots and lots of family moments of togetherness:
|
Pre-pandemic, we had been watching the construction of a brand new 7-Eleven right around the corner from our neighborhood. It turned out, construction completed when we stopped watching. So we walked over to give ourselves a quarantine treat. |
There was that time that "the children's hands" made quite an entertaining smoothie:
|
Lots and LOTS of togetherness...

We have continued bonding with Grandma and Grandpa.

Batman stickers mailed from Florida |
Despite establishing my rule of "No hospitals during Coronavirus," Spencer still managed to bust his head open on a bed corner, earning him 3 staples in his scalp and a Boo Bear from Grandma and Grandpa. Luckily, 10 days later, he earned a popsicle for sitting nicely when the staples came out of the beautifully healing skin.

In other quarantine news-
Ethan got a new (to him) desk in his room. | 
Gabi was allowed out of lock-down. |
Big Spenceman got some big boy underwear and learned how to keep them dry!!!
|
He sure figured out quickly how to wear his underwear in style. | 
(Bribes helped.) |
What does quarantine look like? It looks like finding creative ways to still connect with each other. It looks like a virtual bris/baby naming:

It looks like virtual Havdalah:

Many days, the children take over the technology, and it looks like this:
|
Eventually, they tire, and the house gets calm and quiet.

|
And then, at the end of the day, we have these friendly felines who will take anything left they can get.
