Covid-19 Craziness Continues

We've passed to 40 days of quarantine and yet we're still social distancing.
Thankfully the weather is getting nice so we're spending a lot of time outside! 

Last Sunday I was on our church praise team

Aubrey baked cookies with me 

Avery likes to play outside with her dolls

Steve had to draw a pic of one of his co-workers for a scavenger hunt,
so we all tried :)

We've been going on lots of walks around our neighborhood -

Easter Sunday!

Although we normally don't travel for Easter, we do 
usually spend it with family - it was different this year, just us
but we made the most of out the day and still made it memorable. 

We decided to get dressed up and take photos
like we normally would. It was sunny and 60 in the morning!



The girls were thrilled and surprised to see Easter bags waiting for them 
when they woke up this morning :)
I bribed them to get dressed and take pictures before they could open them.








Watching church on the livestream on my computer
since our Smart TV hasn't been working correctly lately. 

Eating their Easter candy while watching church.

They got sparkly play-doh in their Easter bags
so we made a cross with a heart during church - a perk to being home, I guess. 


After church, we hid eggs around the backyard, before the weather
turned to cold and rainy - but thankful we didn't get the snow like NWI.



Gathering at the sandbox to discuss their plan.

After the girls found their 23 eggs, they hid a few for Steve and I to find. 

The clouds were rolling in, but making the most of our time outside!

 I bought a ham and Steve prepared it and cut it :)

Easter dinner - not fancy at all but we did have 
ham, rolls, salad and finger jello.

Another play-doh creation Aubrey made.

Foose-ball downstairs when the weather changed. 

Aubrey's Easter sign she made for her door - 
the backside was for Good Friday and switched it to this on Sunday!

The Greatest Showman movie upstairs...

...and Frozen 2 downstairs. 

A friend made us a late birthday cake so we enjoyed cake and ice cream fro dessert!

We ended the day with a few games of TENZI!
