- COVID Diaries: Weeks 12 & 13...and 14 & 15, too! -

Welpppppp, life gave us a *sniff* of normalcy and .justlikethat. I got distracted going here, there, and everywhere and fell completely off of the blogging bandwagon! Cheers to COVID Diaries: Weeks 12, 13, 14, and 15+...to infinity and beyond! I say it's about time to start penning this pandemic into the history books so we can keep marching forward towards the life we once knew! Ahhhh, sweet freedom, I can smell you!

Even though parks and museums and other places we used to frequent are still closed, we've been quite a bit more lax lately with mingling with friends and family just like we did way back when [pre-March, you know]. We're also venturing out with the kids a little more frequently, and they're LOVING life outside the four walls of our humble abode! Between a morning at the strawberry patch, a weekend away at a cabin in Branson, and a full day at the zoo, the last couple of weeks have been more exciting than the last few MONTHS combined! Just last week, I got a haircut [and color!], Harper had her kindergarten screening with her brand new teacher [who she adored!], and we've been extraaa busy picking out and putting in landscaping lately [phew, thank goodness that is a one-time job!]. In between the new-found busyness, we're also still reveling in the small joys and still REALLY enjoying having Brian working from home Mon-Fri every week!

Alas, the photos always say it best; here is our life as of late!

- Sissy keeping up her cutting skillz, Brian building a pot stand for my new favorite indoor snake plant...

- Bike rides and bubbles and chocolate ice cream on the driveway with our long-lost cousins...

- Homemade taco bowls [OLE!] and Chinese carryout [LOL, cannot get over this curbside pickup situation, and the cashier collecting my cash with tongs through the plexiglass window was the cherry on top]...

- Strawberry picking [and eating]...

- More strawberry eating, muffin baking slash eating...

- MORE EATING [but Grammy's homemade strawberry jam is the new coveted item in this house!]...

- Crafting/gluing [Harper's masterpiece was dried and displayed within minutes, and I'm still hoping Scarlett's isn't dripping glue globs come Friday or mebbe Sunday]...
