The 4th of Covid-19

This years 4th of July felt a little different than normal. We skipped out on going to the cottage as there was too many people going.

Well, that's always the case, but more so with Covid-19.

Someone always ends up sick when my family is all together. I had plans for us to go canoeing for the day and no one else wanted to so I was in a sour mood for most of the day. Plus it was the 10th day in a row of being over 90 degrees.

I'm not sure which of us suggested it, but we figured the beaches would be dead.

Apparently most of the city left for the weekend because the usually packed Lake Harriet was eerily quiet.

Meadow is a little fish and never wants to leave the beach.

She's learned to swim underwater. I'm not sure how it's possible, but once she tries to swim on the surface it's a no go.

A lot more brave than she was in past years.

I guess we weren't leaving quite yet.

The kids never want to leave the beach. We've been avoiding them most of the summer, but I've now read that a beach is probably one of the safer places as long as you keep your distance.

Staying out late means the bike lights go on. We were going to take a bike ride to Glam Doll donuts but they close early now. Instead we watched the city light up with fireworks from our living room window.

Shannyn invited us over since Meadow didn't have a birthday party. It was hot once again so the kids played in the kiddie pool in their backyard. This is the first time Meadow has played with other kids in months.

I'm hesitant to let her play even at this point, but sometimes you've got to break your rules.

We moved to the front yard as it was getting so hot with no shade in the back.

Theo had been afraid to go in the pool until all the kids left.

We had lunch, hung out some more and then called it a day.

Broken Bones and Labor Day

As you can see I am wearing a sling. Why you ask? Well it all started Thursday morning when I being the nice person that I am decided to help out Scottie and his roomates move into their new house. Everyone had gone back to their old house to get more stuff and I stayed behind to finish unpacking things out of my car. I was walking back to my car and thought it would be faster if I went in between a trailer and a van. Being the clumsy person that I am I somehow tripped in the process, ripping my jeans as well. Not thinking I had broken my arm I continued to carry things into to the house. My arm did hurt a little, but I thought it was no big deal. I had to leave for work. When I got home I noticed a huge bump on my elbow, I became worried at this point and called my mom. She said it was probably just bruised. I put ice on it as I was driving, when I got to the mall I saw the bump had gotten bigger. I was really concerned now so I thought I would go to first aid and see if someone the

Sushi Sunday Returns

Today I woke up before Scott and surprised him by making big pancakes. I was so excited, but I had to take a quick shower first. He didn't know I was making breakfast and woke up too late. He had to scarf it down before heading to work. I'm not going to complain that Scott had to work on a Sunday again. Yea it sucks, but I need to be more thankful that he has a job. It may not be the best he's had or the worst and the pay isn't phenomenal, but life isn't always fair. Instead of dwelling on the things I don't like I need to be more happy about the things in life that are great. After he left I spent time on-and-off working on this puzzle. It's a lot easier to see the many colors when the suns out. I think I found about 3 more pieces. Then I ordered more seeds online . Last year we figured we had enough, but then we realized we really want to grow kale and chard and popcorn. I know it's a little early to be getting excited abo

Mexico 2020 - Guanajuato

While planning our Mexico trip Scott discovered a city "nearby" that he said looked cool. He originally told me it was like an hour away. I think I said a few hours away, but maybe. Except when we got our bus tickets it was actually 6 hours. Sometimes you need to take a journey for a good adventure. Or something. We picked up this model bus for Theo at the bus station. Also he's claimed the Frida backpack.
