SCENES FROM THE NEW NORMAL

Here we are, another week at home, with no end in sight. So we played some music…

…and just kinda collapsed on stuff.

I also practiced skateboarding in the kitchen.

The neighbors probably got used to seeing me make the mail run in my pajamas.

Another day, another pair of pajamas.

I drew lots and lots of pictures.

Daddy and I drew amusement parks together and made tons of them in the last week. I’ll post my favorites some day.

I also liked to climb on things.

Garden update: We thought all of our snap pea babies died in the snow, but one little guy prevailed!

We also soaked this dried up corn cob we got from a friend a couple years ago. It began to sprout, so we’ll put that in the deck container garden next week.

SCENES FROM CONTINUED ISOLATION

We finished our third full week of being housebound. I told Mommy, “it feels like we’re under house arrest.”

As usual, working on my many Planet Coaster parks was a top priority.

I also rode rides at my in-home amusement park.

Our potato sprouted!

We chopped it in half and put it in that pot of dirt.

We continued to make progress on our puzzle. It’s only fitting that it’s actually a Christmas puzzle, because that’s probably when it will be finished.

I drew, colored, and named birds.

Daddy and I drew a whole bunch of amusement parks.

And we saw a pretty rainbow outside our window at sunset. What will next week bring???

DENTIST DUTY

It’s that time of year again…

Don’t let my sort of smiling face fool you. I can’t stand this place. It’s my very least favorite medical requirement. (I was kind of happy at this moment, though, because the hygienist was done with her horrible work and the dentist just does a quick look.)

Then I was FREEEEE! (No cavities!)

CHRISTMAS TREE HUNTING

One of our traditions is to find the rainiest day of the month and then go get our Christmas tree. It makes the mission extra special.

I located the best tree on the farm and sent Daddy to work cutting it down.

I also found this cool tree that I could stand under.

After we put the tree in the car, I noticed the farm map!

So then, despite it getting dark quickly, I had to walk all around looking for the douglas, grand, noble, and nordmann firs. I even found a few scotch pines!
