Last weekend, we celebrated two birthdays, Zachary who turned 10 (gulph) and my mom who turned 23. It was nice that they came the day before his birthday to be with him. It certainly made his day. This year was definitely different. We were one of the only that had mask on at the beach. …

Quarantine Birthday
Yesterday, we celebrated Zachary’s birthday, quarantine style. This one definitely presented it’s challenges. Two different shops to find a place that had helium for balloons. Last minutes cancellations. A pop up rain shower that washed away our chalk tribute. But in the end, we made it work. Thankfully, the rain was short lived. Mr. Softee …
Quarantine Life
Grocery Adaptation
The one thing we are noticing during this pandemic, is that you have to be flexible in your grocery needs. The first couple of weeks were rough. We first tried curbside pickup at the local grocery store, which was a total fail. Mike then started venturing inside, well before the state law to wear mask. …
Game Night
Last Sunday, the boy and I learned Gin Rummy. For the record, mommy is a fast learner and crushed them with the first two games. The boy roared back with three straight. Daddy, on the other hand, was the designated loser! He didn’t win a single game. The girls were not amused with all of …

Daddy, working to his 80-90’s music in the upstairs bedroom, Zachary, the dogs and I downstairs managing homework and work. Once we ironed out the kinks it hasn’t …
Boys
Is it me or do you boys enjoy being stinky and smelly? You would never see a girl, not shower for two days while on their fall break. And when he did, I swear he put on dirty clothes. Really! And has anyone ever tried to clean their sports pants. The boy, I’m pretty sure, …
Baseball
It’s been a busy week trying to figure out where Z will be playing next spring. Last Saturday, he tried out for All Out’s 9u team. Daddy took him and texted, mid try out, that they were offering. Pretty cool stuff. The worry, this team is merging two travel teams and we aren’t sure the …
Spidey
Spider man. Spider man. He can do whatever a spider can! This Thursday, we celebrated Halloween. It was a balmy 70 degrees, warmest we can remember for a long time. Pop Pop and Mom Mom came over to walk with us. What I really mean is that we walked and the boys ran from door …
