Thanksgiving 2020 🦃

Food and friends. That sums up the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving. We were grateful to have time with our KC friends. (We did pre-visit COVID testing and had negative results.) The kids picked up where they left off the last time they were together in May and the adults had time to catch up on the last 6 months of life. It was great to relax, hang out, and on Thursday, cook in the kitchen with my friend.

I am probably biased, but this meal was one (if not the) best Thanksgiving meal I’ve had!

These kids keep growing like crazy!

No visit would be complete without a photo of Shecklet #4 and her godparents.

Halloween 2020 🎃

As with almost everything else 2020, Halloween is a bit different this year. The Shecklets did different activities today. (We opted to skip door to door trick-or-treating this year.)

Shecklet #2 did this with his friend:

Shecklet #1 and Shecklet #3 did this with Grandma & Grandpa:

And Shecklet #4 went trunk or treating at our church. Kids typically dress up as a saint for our parish’s annual All Saints Day party. This year, all on her own, #4 said she wanted to be St. Philomena in honor of her baby sister. I may or may not have gotten a little misty-eyed when she told me her plan.

Playing “coronavirus”

The girls were playing Barbies after their schoolwork was done this afternoon. When I peeked in the room to see what they were up to, they pointed out one particular Barbie who had an accessory that could be used as a gaiter, skirt, headband, or a mask, “if you’re playing ‘coronavirus,'” as told to me by Shecklet #4.

Happy purple 💜

I painted the white walls first in the girls’ room and saved the purple for last 😊. Only one coat so far, but it is looking great!

Priming

The girls requested a bed switch – they want the bunkbeds and want the boys to have the twin beds. That request set a large project in motion – purging and cleaning the room out, patching holes, and now priming the walls. I took the girls to Sherwin Williams this afternoon to pick out paint samples. The plan is to paint three walls white and one purple.

Both girls helped prime today, but I only snapped a photo of one. I’ll capture the other one next time.

Birthday #10 – take 2! 🥳

We had to postpone Shecklet #3’s birthday party a week. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day and she had a lot of fun with the family and friends who celebrated with her.
