2020 Blue Jeans Week 13

So I guess this week was unofficially our 2nd week of spring break, as starting next week school will be online and packet learning.  Another surreal week.  Things we were grateful for this week...home church, yummy cheesecake with lemon curd for my birthday, getting what we needed at the grocery store, and enjoying beautiful spring weather that allows us to be outside!  Take a look at our week....

Sunday--our home centered church around the kitchen table with Miss E wrapped up in a blanket and Mr J giving a lesson.  It was pretty awesome!

And Happy birthday to me!  Ben and the kids made me a divine homemade cheesecake with an even more divine homemade lemon curd that I love!  It was a good day!

So, We stocked up before all the crazy and have not had to go to the grocery store for a few weeks, but we had to go today.  During this stay at home crazy, I have put the kids in charge of dinner menu planning and cooking, so they planned out 2 weeks of dinners/breakfast/lunches/snacks and made a grocery list, and we decided to head to the store as soon as it opened to hopefully avoid other people.  It was still dark when we headed out to the store.  So grocery store shopping, here we go....

This is a sight I have never seen in my whole life..... completely empty grocery store shelves.  Wow.  It was disconcerting.  This was the cereal isle.  Toilet paper isle looked the same.  Thankfully cereal and toilet paper were not on our grocery list, but everything else we needed was.  That was a blessing!

So last summer I made the declaration that we were going to play one board game/card game every single day. And we did it!  It was a lot of fun.  So, starting last week I made the same declaration and since my family always loves everything I decide to do (yeah, right, but they know better than to contradict me) they are being good sports about it.  These are just some of the games we have played the last two weeks.  Lots of fun!  It helps keep things a little more normal and gets our mind off more heavy topics which we are dwelling on a lot lately.

It was a beautiful and warm sunny day, so these two decided to have a water gun fight.  Lots of fun!

These two, since they have extra time now (lucky them) got the job of washing and vacuuming out all 3 cars, but it was a gorgeous day to do it, so they didn't complain (too much)

And then we had a super windy day, and they got out a kite, but it was a little too windy, and that poor kite didn't last too long, but it was something fun to do!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are all healthy and safe where you are!  Find Joy in the Journey!  See you next week!
