What a week! We started out last Sunday with a crazy storm that did quite a bit of damage and killed our trampoline that has served us faithfully for 15 years. Enjoyed some family zoom meetings. Miss E is officially done with high school! Graduation is still up in the air. Had a big birthday this week and got some yard work done. Take a look at our week...
Sundays we do "church" on a zoom call with Miss A and Miss O. After we are done we always play a game with them. We have figured out which board games you can play over zoom pretty well the last few weeks. This week we played Wits and Wagers.
Sunday morning around 7:30 a crazy windy storm came through and we watched out the window with so much rain and wind that the sky was white and watched our apple tree fall down. Then we looked over and saw our trampoline was gone, and we heard a huge crash as one of our outside tables had a glass cover that was torn off and smashed into tiny pieces every where. Crazy! They say it wasn't a tornado, but they clocked 75 mph winds! And this picture taken later the same day, so it quickly cleared up and was nice.
We didn't know where our trampoline went. Miss E went out on the street and walked up a hill about 1/4 mile from our house and found it all crumpled up. So she got a wheel barrow and brought it home. So sad! The kids have loved that trampoline and it has lasted forever! We have had it almost 15 years~ Replaced the jumping mat once, but it was a good trampoline!
Had a huge extended family zoom call this week. It was fun to see grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings. Technology is pretty amazing! Sure love all these people and so glad everyone is safe and well!
A pic from Miss A and her friends as they made Japanese donuts this week. Cooking/baking is their their quarantine outlet. Yummy!
And today was this girl's official last day of high school. We found her first day of kindergarten picture and got a shot with her first day of school and her last day. So cute!
And just to document how weird and crazy her end of school has been, we took a mask picture.
And then we had to do our traditional "Toyota" jump last day of school picture. Pretty epic jump for her senior year last day!
Then the day after her last day of school this girl had her birthday! It was kind of a bittersweet week as we were supposed to have her older sisters and extended family here today to help her celebrate and be here for her graduation which was supposed to be this weekend, but we did our best to celebrate this amazing girl! Sure love her sooo much!!! and So very proud of her!
She wanted to celebrate being done with her senior friends that she hasn't seen since mid-March, so she made a batch of her famous chocolate chip cookies and made these cute graduation mask tags and made sure everything was very clean and sanitized as she dropped these off on her friend's front porches to celebrate being done with school.
Bad lighting in this picture, but as an end of school project for her physics class Miss E had to make a roller coaster with a pool noodle that a marble could go through. She thought it was fun and Mr J wanted to do one too, so they took apart her school project and made a bigger and better marble roller coaster down the front stairs. Pretty cool!
Saturday in prep for Mother's Day the kids and Ben got all the pots cleaned out, we bought plants for them, and those three got them planted for me as a Mother's Day present. Love it!
Hope you all had a great week! Hope you are all safe and well! Thanks for visiting!!!
Looks like a great week aside from the huge winds that took out your trampoline--how sad! Congrats on Miss E and her last day of high school. Hopefully she'll get some kind of graduation ceremony soon. Those donuts her and her friends made look amazing and I love that physics project. Hope you had a great Mother's Day.
