Corona Virus Quarantine Day #278, #279: December 26, 27th, 2020:

I had to do these back to back updates in two day increments because the kids have been so busy! Busy at home, that is. The last two days have been absolutely beautiful December weather so that’s been awesome, we have gotten outside and filled our bodies up with Vitamin D!

On Saturday their Hall and Gile cousins came over and we spent much of the day running outside, playing in the barn and we even tried our hand at ice fishing. Also…mommy’s Christmas gift got christened. It. is. amazing.

I finally got the karoake machine I have wanted my entire life. It’s legit. There are like 300 settings and a microphone stand (which was truly the one thing I felt I really needed). The kids all sang and I belted a few tunes myself. I cannot explain how much fun it was…but more on this a different day!

Here are the last few days in pictures to describe how truly fun it all really was for us!

Most of the morning looked like this…putting together ALL the things! GOD bless Daddy’s patience! Spike ball for the win!

We rode bikes and played on the Hover Board of course! It was legitimately 70 degrees, it was incredible!
We attempted to ice fish and realized the pond was slightly frozen so…..
We collected rocks and threw them as hard as we could at the ice to break it. The kids ran and ran and ran and carried heavy rocks to chuck at the ice. This final picture is my favorite. If memory serves the kids were chanting for Uncle Kevin to come carry the mother load of rocks (I swear this thing weighed close to 60 lbs) with the hopes that this bad boy would destroy the ice!
Just Daddy and his dog! Gigi was in Heaven. Everyone was outside and the sun was shining!
We sang our faces off. You guys…I cannot tell you the fun we will have with this machine!
What is not captured here is that when he got on the mic he introduced himself and his song. He legit said “Hi I’m Fletcher and I’m going to sing Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” He is a natural on the mic!
Aunt Jenny brought cocoa bombs for the win and Aunt Jill brought some cookies to decorate…which we promptly ate right up!

Saturday was another full and fun day with our quarantine buddies, our cousins. We had a total blast and when the sunset on this day, we were asking what time we’d see our cousins the next day!

I woke up to Fiona fully knee padded (you just never know when a volleyball game might pop up) and asking to use her new hair chalk to decorate her hair for the Chiefs game. Why not? All five kids ended up with Chiefs hair chalk.
Finley got an arrowhead on his head! He was pretty pumped about that!
Don’t worry at 8am this maniac was ready to sing and that he did!
After the Chiefs game (thank you for no overtime) we went on a nature hike at Aunt Jenny’s with Grandpa Joe and all the dogs! The kids had a blast…once again!
The kids sat on Uncle Luke’s deer stand (with his permission of course) out in the woods and we got a cute one of all 7 of them by Aunt Jenny’s pond!

Sadly, immediately upon arrival back at Aunt Jenny’s post hike I had a major allergy attack. Three Benadryl later we stopped the swelling and I can breathe (which is nice) but I am having a hard time staying awake. I will refrain from posting any pictures of my face because it looks like I’ve been in a boxing match. My right eye is almost completely swollen shut. It’s been good times, but at least the kids got to hike in December . So I will take the wins as they come! I think my nephew Hunter may have nightmares about my swollen face. He was very concerned about his Aunt Nan Nan (it was pretty darn sweet).

I will be fine over here with my Benadryl and soon my eyes will open back up…hopefully sooner rather than later.

Nevertheless, the last 4 days have been amazing despite Covid and allergic reactions. Tomorrow, I’m hoping will be a bit more relaxed especially since I will need to be dropping Benadryl to deal with this reaction. Not sure about you but Benadryl makes me sleepy!

Merry Christmas!
