Quarantine week 7-ish
Some lovely things this week:
Kids riding their bikes while we walk the beach walk. Usually bikes aren’t allowed but nobody’s really down there and the few security guards we’ve seen don’t seem to mind…
The anniversary of my brother Luke dying was Wednesday, gosh it’s still such a hard day. But met Jerica at first light and saw the beautiful sunrise pictured here and then went to another spot to surf, small waves but still fun and a turtle popped his head up right next to us and there were some foot-long black fish frolicking on the surface, fun to watch I’ve never seen that…good way to start the day for sure…
Zo got a 3-pack of little sheep dog toys with her allowance and sends them to daycare while she is at school, along with their BFF the lego piggy. Last week it was Daddy Day Care, this week Mommy. I got a checklist with their schedule and they built with blocks and played hacky sack and colored and napped. And on Friday they took a sailing field trip, which delighted Zo and was fun for me…it was a half hour out of my day but taking stuffed animals sailing so I could have pics for Zo and she knew I really cared about her day care request was fun to do, added a little variety, everything feels same same same these days…
LOL dolls are the rage with girls these days and Zo and I (and Luke a bit too) have been playing with them, it’s been really fun. I loved playing dolls growing up, so fun now with my kids…
Today’s Saturday and we’ve played LOLs and are playing the video game “Fishy” on TV right now as a family (taking turns with the controls), think I’m going to make lemon pasta and a salad for dinner, talked with my parents earlier, took Newton for a walk to S-Turns and there were turtles right at the shoreline…we’ve been reading Winnie the Pooh and will probably do some of that tonight and I’m still making progress through The Brothers Karamazov (slow progress, but progress)…it’s windy and a little stormy and kind of a good inside kind of day…all is well…
XOXO
