ole schnikees: 2020

Tuesday we played and went downstairs to play while I sewed. tova didn't fall asleep for nap until 2pm so about 3pm trevor and I went for a walk (trevor scootered.) we went past the army trucks that he always wants to go by then we stopped at a small nature path. after exploring a bit, we ran down the nature path and up a small hill to see the airport. we took a long walk and had fun! that night matt picked up our favorite Mexican restaurant food and brought it over. we had taco Tuesday with matt, Jodi, cam, chloe and Carsyn. Al made us margaritas and the kids played great! it was super fun and much needed before the "stay at home" order was put in place and we might not get to see anyone for a while. the big kids got to play some video games with the dad's while Carsyn and Tova played with the toys downstairs with the moms.

Wednesday Al worked; after breakfast the kids and I got out for a walk before it rained. trevor didn't want to scooter so I brought out the double stroller. it's an added challenge to push 90 pounds of kids while walking. :) trevor did walk/run/skip part of it but sat/stood a bunch too. we played in the backyard for a little bit before we got rained on.

Thursday we walked in the morning again and walked to Jodi's to bring Carsyn her chair she forgot at our house. we played outside for a bit then walked home for lunch.

Al was off Friday-Sunday!! Friday was super nice out! we were outside from 10a-5pm except a little time in there for nap (which is when I cleaned out the garage!) we got the whole backyard raked except what was still under snow and bagged up all the leaves too! we were all beat so we had a movie night.

Saturday was supposed to rain so we all 4 went for a walk in the morning and included a nature walk near our house by the airport. we had fun and played out back for a bit before lunch since it didn't start raining until afterwards. Saturday night we had dinner at matt & Jodi's house but found out the little girls are not so good at the 6 feet distancing thing. :) when we were trying to go to matt & Jodi's house, the edge wouldn't start... wee are thinking it's the battery; Al got a new on Monday but hasn't installed it yet.

sunday it was rainy and cold; I cleaned the house and started going through and organizing the workshop/storage room.

Monday was nice out again so after breakfast we got our school work done early so we could play outside. the previous Monday-Friday was trevor's spring break so we didn't have any correspondence with his teacher. it was nice to get some more ideas from her on what to do for school work since he's finished his packets that were sent home with him. we went for a walk about 1030ish and ended up at Jodi's house to play outside for a bit. then we walked home for lunch and nap. we went back outside after nap and all the snow had finally melted. so while the kids played, I raked up lots of wet leaves from the piles we didn't get to picking up before it snowed. it was heavy and wet but I got a lot of it done. we have so many bags of leaves; we need the compost place to open soon!!! we did supper, had baths, and then Al came home from work & helped with bed time.
