Lockdown day 54

Although “lockdown” isn’t technically the right term now, we are still all encouraged to stay home as much as possible. We are now allowed family to visit 5 at a time,  the Froopers came over for lunch yesterday. Such a fun day and didn’t finish up until about 10 last night!!! Sooooo good to see them!

Cafes and restaurants will slowly open with lots of restrictions in a couple of weeks. I go back to work next Monday. The kids don’t go back until the 9th of June however Harry and Luce will have to go back as I will be classed as an essential worker. 

One week of homeschooling left. Apart from the homeschooling I have surprisingly  loved being at how and living the slower life. Yes I have complained about not seeing people but overall it’s been grounding and nice. 

Lockdown day 53

A freezing 1 degree start to the day, but a stunning sky of blue. A busy morning with work and school. Holly had a maths test so we left her in peace and went for a walk/ride. Holly took over the kitchen tonight wand while o lay in bed and read a book she made this beautiful dinner! Veal schnitzel, baked potato’s and corn. Stella job! More than happy for her to take over the kitchen any day!

I love this old photo from 3 years ago when Gabe had the kids on a school night when I was sick with tonsillitis.

Exciting day today, we finished school and went to Aunty Gabes!!! 4 hours of fun catch up before they come over for the day on Saturday!!!

Harry made an apple pie while I was working and wrote an instructional writing piece on how to cook an apple pie.  Holly found some old pics of our house and we went for a big walk again. Oh and no Corona for Andrew!!

Holy cooked dinner tonight. Harry and Lucy played nicely all day after finishing school by 12. I rested most of the day with a possible sinus infection.

A good day learning from home! Harry and Luce did some cooking by themselves- jelly and cupcakes. A big bike ride, Lucy and I mastered riding her bike together while walking the dog.

Lockdown day 48

Woke up to a decorated house full of balloons and love! Red carpet and all. The homemade gifts my favorite, jars of love notes, a box of goodies made by holly, Harry made me a body scrub and Lucy a box of breath mints! A close second was the cocktail making set including martini glasses!

Went for a big walk, had a delicious cheese platter lunch and board games! I’m a very happy Mama and feeling loved ... as always .

Oh and Andrew was swabbed for corona! Due to a very mild sore throat. Fingers crossed it’s negative!

A cold and rainy day today. Andrew and the kids went out to the shops for Mother’s Day, I stayed home and cleaned and then spent the the rest of the day reading! Bliss!

More bins to clean. Today a neighbor left a lovely thank you card and a $6 tip for cleaning their bin yesterday. The kids door knocked the neighbors and have 1 booking so far for next Thursday. Harry and Luce rode bikes for most of the afternoon.
