The one thing we are noticing during this pandemic, is that you have to be flexible in your grocery needs. The first couple of weeks were rough. We first tried curbside pickup at the local grocery store, which was a total fail. Mike then started venturing inside, well before the state law to wear mask. …

Game Night
Last Sunday, the boy and I learned Gin Rummy. For the record, mommy is a fast learner and crushed them with the first two games. The boy roared back with three straight. Daddy, on the other hand, was the designated loser! He didn’t win a single game. The girls were not amused with all of …
Easter
We celebrated Easter last Sunday. Yes, it was much different than our normal day. First, we watched church service in our “not best wear”. No pretty gowns and suits in this household. Someone was a little squirmy while the other claimed to be praying in his Super Man PJs. (inquiry minds would like to know …
Pandemic Odds N Ends
This week marks the 5th week in home isolation. We have settled into a nice routine. Mommy, still getting up early to run and walk the dogs. Daddy, working to his 80-90’s music in the upstairs bedroom, Zachary, the dogs and I downstairs managing homework and work. Once we ironed out the kinks it hasn’t …
Boys
Is it me or do you boys enjoy being stinky and smelly? You would never see a girl, not shower for two days while on their fall break. And when he did, I swear he put on dirty clothes. Really! And has anyone ever tried to clean their sports pants. The boy, I’m pretty sure, …
Baseball
It’s been a busy week trying to figure out where Z will be playing next spring. Last Saturday, he tried out for All Out’s 9u team. Daddy took him and texted, mid try out, that they were offering. Pretty cool stuff. The worry, this team is merging two travel teams and we aren’t sure the …
Spidey
Spider man. Spider man. He can do whatever a spider can! This Thursday, we celebrated Halloween. It was a balmy 70 degrees, warmest we can remember for a long time. Pop Pop and Mom Mom came over to walk with us. What I really mean is that we walked and the boys ran from door …
Golf U
Last weekend, we took the boy for his first golf outing, a small course near us. He’s been taking golf lessons since September. And I have to say he didn’t do that badly. Sure, there was the handful of really ugly hits…which let’s be honest most of us do. That makes you want to put …
Big boy
Ironically this picture came up on our Facebook post. This is the first time taking Zachary out to eat. He was so little and excited. And as crazy as it sounds, I still recognize those big brown eyes and eye brows. This picture was from last Monday. His first official Quarter Pounder meal. Gone are …
Seasons
It’s official. The pool closed, during a drenching rain storm. Another summer officially in the books. This one was a fast one filled with sports, a wedding, the beach and family. As we head to fall, the boy eagerly awaits Halloween. His costume came last Monday and to say he is super stoked about it, …
