Still Quarantined

Hello all you good people!  What a week we had.  For the most part things have continued on, the same as they have been.  I started heading into work again this past week.  Work is pretty empty, so it's not so bad.  I probably could have done everything I did this past week from home, but you gotta go back eventually, right?  Anyway, this past week the girls decided they really needed to wear their masks! They've never actually had to wear them yet, but they thought it was really fun!


Brooke has been working on learning to read recently and has been loving it!  She's doing really great, and she already knows most of the letter sounds, so she jumps through the lessons very quickly.

Winry was roaming around for dinner in just her diaper.  I'm pretty sure it's because we took off her clothes to not get stained.  She was busy playing with her phone, and tucked it into her "pocket."


This was the last week for preschool, and so was the final week of Brooke's preschool calls.  This is both a blessing and a curse.  Brooke has really been enjoying the calls, however the bedtime story calls start at 7, and run till about 7:15 at least.  That doesn't sound that late, however if Brooke lays down and tries to go to sleep before 7 she'll be asleep within 10 minutes.  If she lays down at 7:15 or later, she doesn't go to bed until both Monica and I are in bed, and even then it's still iffy.


This picture is from mask day.  You can see that Winry has her mask on.  She spent a while putting all of Jelly's cat toys on Jelly who was laying in the sun right by where Winry is in the picture.  Eventually Jelly left and Winry laid down under a blanket and piled the toys on herself.


Winry started joining Brooke on her preschool calls, at least for some of the time.  She very much loves everything that Brooke does, and I'm pretty sure the kids were all supposed to stay muted so that helps alleviate Winry interruptions too.  This past week they even did baby shark!


Baby shark was followed up with the next most popular kids song, whatever is going on in this picture...  In actuality, after doing this Winry was walking around the house even though she couldn't see where she was going.  She was walking around really slow, and had her hand out, and you could tell she was just hoping not to walk into anything.  She fortunately never got hurt.


This past week we headed into the car market to get a minivan.  Monica decided that moving car seats between cars would be a good time to clean out the car seats.  There wasn't much to clean.......


Winry helped Reesey get all snuggled into a seat, and then sat down to enjoy the ride with him!


The girls have been doing baths pretty often lately.  It's extra exciting when they get bubbles too!  They love playing together, and we found some little plastic dinosaurs a week or two back and that's the hot toy for the tub.  Also, Brooke spelled PAM on the wall!


Jelly was laying next to me this past week and I got a good close up of her.  That's the whole story.


So... speaking of that new van.  Here it is!  I was out working on stuff in the garage yesterday and realized we never took a picture of our new car, so I grabbed one just in case it was the only one, and it is.  The girls love the van, and want to play in it all the time.  I've spent a decent amount of time just sitting in the van with them as they climb from seat to seat and sit down.  I don't quite understand all the excitement, but it's real!


When I came in the house, Brooke and Monica were outside working on garden stuff.  Winry apparently didn't want to go out with them, and so she was laying on the floor mat just inside the back door.  She had a stuffed animal, so it sort of looked like she was going to sleep.


Well, that's all I've got for now.  Have a fabulous week!
