Well, the summer is almost over and I haven't posted one damn thing on the blog about it. I am not sure where all the time goes! Seriously. We don't really go anywhere but out to the deck or through a drive thru, yet I have found no time to provide some updates on my little part of the internet? Wild. I can't tell you what I've been up to instead. But, let's take a look back on some pictures from my phone to enlighten us shall we?
I last updated just after Mother's Day. We were all still home doing work and school and basically sick of it all. But, we had some fun times too - like the morning I came downstairs to start the work day and both Jay and I were sporting our 4th of July shirts. Americana Twinsies! LOL!
We haven't really played many board games during quarantine. Kind of weird.
But, we did have a streak of Chutes and Ladders!
We all know I love to bake! There was a weekend in May when I decided to do all the things. It was a bit much, but what else was there to do anyway?! I prepared a strawberry rhubarb crisp....
And cinnamon chip scones!
And this was the kitchen after it all - madness. I am not a clean baker!
We have this tree in the back which, when it blooms, it is so pretty!
It looks pretty for like 2 days and then it goes back to be a boring green.
Some days, I end up doing my fitness in Ella's room to have a separate space and so others can be in the living room/kitchen. One day, these two friends were in Ella's bed - she must have put them like that. Sweet.
And usually, when I'm doing fitness in Ella's room, Ms. Ruby Pearl has to be near.
She likes to cuddle with the other stuffed animals on Ella's bed.
Some more baking was needed in May - this time: confetti sprinkle scones for the win!
Jay's dad built some garden beds for Ella to try out this summer.
She was pretty excited!
As I'm writing this (August), I can report that we've gotten a few cherry tomatos but that's it. No zucchini, no beans, no strawberries. I don't think gardening is really my thing.
I also got my woodworking on at the end of May to create a sign for the front porch.
We had an old pallet that I cut up to create the sign.
Finding paint was the trickiest part! Everyone was sold out of most of the color choices I had in mind (apparently EVERYONE was crafting!) so, I ended up using what I had, including wall paint. LOL!
But it worked and I think it's a fun porch sign!
End of May meant we were winding down the school year! We had a drive through situation to pick up the remaining supplies that Ella had left at school in March when we all thought we'd be back in the building before the end of the year. How wrong we all were! So, Ella ran up to school at our scheduled time and I had to snap a pic of Ella with her 5th grade teacher! She loved having her for 5th grade and it's such a bummer that it was a shortened time in the classroom.
Trails around the neighborhood means we are able to get out for walks!
Some great flowers were brightening the scenery and Ella thought we should snap a pic! HA!
That wraps up our May 2020!
Let's talk about Ella's birthday!!
