Happy Mother’s Day!

"It's not easy being a mom.  If it were easy, fathers would do it."
-Betty White

Ashlyn had an assignment this where where she was supposed to cook something following a recipe in Spanish.  Instead, Ashlyn decided to make up her own recipe so she didn’t have to read it.  While we applaud the creativity, I think she missed the point.

Another week of a closed gym meant more conditioning at home.  Ashlyn and Isla now do conditioning together so they get to double up on the workouts.

Nighttime at our house is always an interesting affair because we never really know what’s going to happen.  Sometimes the kids go to bed quickly and quietly, sometimes they play, sometimes they decide to dress up and look cute, and yet other times they decide it would be more fun to camp out.  At least things never get boring around here.

Like many events impacted by the Coronavirus, Mother’s Day was a quieter affair this year.  We made the best of the weekend though.  PePa came over with fudge pops for the kids, Nina and Papa stopped by to play with bubbles, and Grandma and Grampa visited on Sunday.  The kids had fun making the Mother’s Day crafts and there was a minimal amount of fighting on Mother’s Day itself.

To all the Mothers out there, especially those dealing with kids stuck at home, Happy Mother’s day!
