131st Month Photo

This is how Dad hangs out with his SigEp brothers all over the country during this Covid-19. 

We broke free and had a neighborhood BBQ, all staying 6ft away from each other. Except you kids didn't grasp the concept and didn't follow that rule.  

I love that this still happens.  

I took apart Moms raised garden and reinforced it. Then I built walls that slide up and can be removed. Keeping those rabbits out!

An early celebration of a Birthday! 

When we are not home...Sunny moves around.  

Mother's Day!  

Kevin, you were making something cool, so I had to snap a photo.

Uncle Todd and family sang to you in the morning.

Not a video - a photo.

This month I grew a quarantine mustache. I also shaved it off this month. 

We participated in a virtual scout camporee. 

Here we were watching the councilors perform.  

5 minute Marvel, our newest family game.  

Mom and Dad received a professional haircut in the back yard. Much needed!

How we see family during this. Hi Dad! 

Sleeping in the same room. If you can find them.  

Fishing at Grandpa and Grandma Bowmans

Art Class 

Yup, Rummikub  

Play on words.

I dug that hole 42" deep. I plan on hanging lights on that pole and maybe a hammock to the tree. We'll see. 

The scout, she see's something. 

Here being stuck in our home basically since middle March I thought I'd take less photos but the fact is, I have taken more!

April 2020 - Covid-19 - Stay At Home Orders

130th Monthly Photo

Every photo you see has been taken at home because of the Covid-19. We are on a stay at home orders from the government. Mom and I have been working everyday at home since this started. And you guys have been home schooled. I honestly thought I'd have less photos for the blog, turns out I have even more. 

Game time! 

Inspired by the TV Show Lego Masters, we had our own competition of creating a monster. 

Kevin on the left, Nick on the right.  

While cleaning up the lego room... 

 Back to E-Learning. Schools are closed. 

 Zoom calls with your class. 

Curious of the schedule? You guys love structure and knowing what's to come.  

 More games

New Lego Time 

Zoom call with Cousin Dory and her family, her parents Aunt Sharon and Uncle Mark, Uncle Todds family and Grandpa.  

And then it snowed for a day, enough to build a snowman.  

Dad worked on the basement stairs.  

You were beyond excited to receive golf clubs from a neighbor.  

Time for haircuts. 

 Funny thing, Dads trimmer stopped working after the first cut. Thankfully another neighbor saw my issue and lent us theirs to finish. 

 Kev's turn.

With no sports, we played lots of other games. RISK

after 4 days, I ended up beating Nick.  

Documentation that Nick one a Solo match on Fortnite. 

 Bedtime stories by the school teachers. They also have been doing the Pledge and morning announcements every day. 

 Gym Class, we've been going around the block. .6 miles, hovering around 5 minutes. Though we are improving. All three of us. 

 Toys in bed day!

Carry your age.

My Mom use to make me a lot of milkshakes when I was growing up. So in memory of her, we have been having a few. 

Cooking Class...decorating cookies. 

Who says they are growing up? I caught them playing with the Skylanders video game characters.  

Music Class. I'm teaching them the Alto Sax, hoping Nick has great knowledge before 6th grade.

Driveway fun
