At home

As you are aware - we are under stay-at-home orders. Yah!! My SLCC classes are only online for the rest of the semester. The kids are out for two weeks, then a week of school, and a week of spring break! (We'll see how that goes).
Anyway I have TOTALLY enjoyed not having to get up at a specific time.  The homework has started rolling in for the kids in their 'online' studies. That is good. Josh is home 'for the foreseeable future." But we are not just sitting around. Yet. Crafties and music will abound! Here are some things we are doing. Ash got an IKEA desk and put it together and rearranged her room. I am working on some sewing crafties. And want to bake more. And working on my classes. And reading my 30 library books. And painting some more. So far I am loving it! It was super sunny and warm today. That was nice. But colder and cloudy for a few days. Well, happy at home time!

Spring!!

Here is the new chair I desperately want for my yard!!
And here come the corcuses -  totally out and blooming today. Along with a cheery amount of daffodiles. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Concert

The girls had a concert and Grandma and Auntie got to come (I should have taken a picture with them!)
AnywayAshley got to play in a quartet as you entered (it didn't quite work out). She and Ellie both played their song and looked good. Ellie had a solo.
Here are the cool new pillow cases I found. And the girls doing a rare practice together.
And here is the trampoline on its way out of the house.

Montana

Being such fancy travelers now - we decided to head to Montana on our next school break!

We went up and saw Grandpa and Grandma Susan. Susan was having her hip replaced two days after we left, so she was trying to soldier through. Apparently everything went well and she is up walking around. But now she gets a month off to recover. Good thing we are all at home anyway!

We got to go to a Maker;s Fair while we were there. It was pretty cool. You got to do a whole bunch  of crafites and it was awesome. Here are some pictures.  Darby and Romeo got to hang out - they got along pretty good and Romeo didn't even mind the 10 hours trip. He just sat on the floor or someone's lap the whole time.
