School is closed for the rest of the school year, boo! Caroline who is always saying "I don't want to go to school" asked when we were going back because she misses her friends. 😥
We have been staying home and only going out for fresh air and grocery pick up.
What we've been up to...
Technology is an amazing thing, from Zoom with classmates to roblox and facetime with friends (every.single.day)
Helping your sister when the teacher is busy
Spring snowstorm. She shoveled the entire trailer of heavy snow!
Snowball tag
More outside time
Silly string!
Keeping Spike well groomed and dressed!!
It's blurry, but Spike's attire includes a French beret, purse, and glasses!
Lots of puzzles and games
Long walks
We're praying this ends soon so we can have some summer fun!
