It is amazing how you can adjust to crazy times. In some ways I think we are doing good, and then sometimes it just hits you. Man, this is just crazy! Is this for real? Are we really living this? Yes, we are. And we will get through it, and we will triumph. We will have great stories to tell our grandkids, and I want to document what we did and how we stayed sane (most of the time) so here is a look at our week...
We started reading this end of March. So good! Ben read it out loud to us. This is one way we have survived quarantine. After we finished, we watched the movie, and then Ben started reading book 2 to us. Love these! Some of the best books ever!!!
I love crepes. Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries and banana are my absolute favorite) with vanilla yogurt in crepes can't be beat. I went to the store this week and got fresh fruit, so I have seriously made or had crepes for breakfast for one solid week....because I can. And then the fresh fruit will run out for the next week and I have to wait until we get to the store, so I am just soaking up having crepes every day for breakfast this week and LOVING it! I use this cinnamon vanilla crepe recipe here.
Documenting "school" this week. This was one day for Miss E out in her hammock.
And "School" one day this week for Mr J at lunch out on the back porch
Ben was home one day this week and he and Miss E worked on some house projects.
One thing we are loving during this crazy time is John Krazinski's Some Good News. Have you watched it? We LOVE it! So awesome! We loved his Prom (since Miss E missed hers) and his graduation (since that is also something Miss E and Miss A missed) so check it out, if you haven't. It is on youtube.
Documenting more menus that the kids have made. Going 6 weeks strong of the kids planning menus and cooking dinner. They make yummy stuff!
And this amazing girl had a birthday! And we were a long ways away, but it was fun to video call her and see her open her gifts. Especially the t-shirt quilt Miss E made for her. That was awesome! Her sister Miss A took good care of her on her birthday and made these yummy oreo cheesecake bites for her birthday cake. Crazy thing was Miss A's apartment was hit by lightning that day and her power was out most of the evening of Miss O's birthday, so that is why it is so dark. Definitely a day to remember for sure!
Mr J decided he was running for a class officer for next year, so Miss E helped him film a campaign video the students can see before they vote remotely. Pretty awesome stuff!
We love the show "Chopped" on the Food Network. So on Saturday we decided we needed something different to do at home, so we held our own chopped competition. Pretty epic stuff! Ben faced off with Miss E in the first round. Mr J and I were the judges. Miss E won!
Then in round 2, Mr J and I faced off, and Ben and Miss E were the judges. Mr J won. In the dessert round it was Mr J and Miss E...
And this awesome dude was the Chopped Champ home quarantine edition! Way to go Mr J!
Getting some yard work and garden work done.
My new recipe to try for May was homemade donuts. Never made them before. I used this recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe. Yummy! We did regular donuts, donut holes and then did some apple fritters. So good!
Well, lots of pictures. Hoping you are surviving, safe and healthy wherever you are! Take care and wash your hands and see you next week!
