April 2020

My puzzle buddy - so hard to buy new puzzles these days.  They are all sold out on Amazon.

More legos..

Even speech therapy is on Zoom now.

Getting started on our vegetable garden.  

And - chalk is also sold out online

The most amazing brownies!  We have tried multiple recipes

And now the kids are making their own fire in their own fire pit

More sleepovers....

And we took up dirt bike riding during COVID.....

This book brought me such peace during such an odd time.

We are making a LOT of homemade popcorn.  And we have found some family TV series to watch - Survivor!

And we also took up archery during COVID, too....

The kids have the freedom to ride their bikes all over Little Neck now - sometimes they need a map to find a friend's house.

Chopping wood for his fire pit.

We are only allowed on the beach of we are exercising.  So we run relay races.

Birthdays have now become parades

Neglected oysters - cleaning them up 

catching a baby snake

We had a tornado come through the neighborhood

Strawberry picking! 

Veggies from the farmer's markets are looking amazing!!!

Kyle and Jessie are building a treehouse for the Ricketts kids - we are loving a reason to ride bikes over there everyday!

Another sleepover

And we caught a rabid raccoon.  We do have a lot of time. 

Checking out Back Bay - BEAUTIFUL

My firm sent us money, and I bought a croquet set!

Graham is walking the dogs each day

Making forts

There are food trucks up at little neck pool each week - so we are riding bikes to go get Italian Ice/ Lunch/ Dinner/ Snacks

They have perfected the art of the sleepover

Huckleberry Finn

The Ice Cream Truck!!!

We created Monster Bug Wars

First busted tire.  Let's hope conte's bike shop is an essential business.  Graham ultimately logged over 90 miles on his bike during COVID before we stopped keeping track

the kids caught another snake - and made this one an entire habitat

Now we're talking - the traveling margarita truck

Boat making competition

the eels are back in the minnow trap
