"It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting."
-Albert Camus
Ashlyn decided that it was time to paint her room. The light pink color with the fairies on the wall needed to go, and so we went to work. James and Isla joined in to help out, and the room was painted a flamingo rose color over the weekend. Ashlyn is happy and has now started working on decorating.
The school year ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. Assignments stopped, and that was about it for Ashlyn and James. It didn’t stop Mommy from making them go outside to take pictures on the last day of school though. Now summer begins, which doesn’t feel much different than the school year in quarantine.
The kids wanted to take Sadie out to run at a dog park and noticed the children’s park right next to it was completely empty. They took advantage and were able to play outside of our neighborhood for the first time since the pandemic started. That was until James noticed the sign stating the park was closed. Oops! They left shortly afterwards, but it was fun while it lasted.
