She's Worn Out

Poor Chloe. 

I thought she would love us all quarantining with her, but I think she is ready for us to get back to normal. 

She is used to being alone (or just with me) where she can do her napping undisturbed.  Having everyone around all the time has severely cut in to her rest time. 

She's also not used to averaging 4 walks a day.  Which really wears her out. 

She's so tired she's started putting herself to bed about 8:30! 

Exciting Stuff #3

One of the moms in the neighborhood scheduled the snow cone truck to come yesterday. 

We looked forward to it all day, and you'd have thought we'd never even seen a snow cone we were so excited.

And yes, not only does Reed not wear shirts anymore, but he's given up shoes too. 

Kyle got tiger blood, Reed got dreamsicle, I got red velvet, and I have no idea what flavor JR got because he didn't go with us. 

Winners and Loosers

Kyle and Reed thought they could beat me at jump roping. 

Obviously they could not.  I smoked them both. 

Then Kyle and Reed both smoked me at run down the street and touch the stop sign and run back. Reed beat us both so he was the official winner.  

(Chloe would have beat us all, but she can't be trusted to run without a leash.)

Then Kyle won the ripstick half way down the street and come back contest.  I did not participate as I didn't want to go to the hospital with a broken arm. 

And all that entertained us for about 30 minutes.

Homeschool Week #2

This week was pretty much exactly the same as last week.  

And I still don't have any pictures of JR because he's asleep.

A Yogi I'm Not

Name a fitness craze and I've done it.  Not surprisingly, I'd rather do workouts that involve some kind of jumping around.  I absolutely despise pilates, but coming in a close second on the bottom of my list in yoga.

I've tried it a few times, and I can never turn my brain off.  All I can think of is all the million other things I could be doing beside standing there in Warrior 2.  

But since there is nothing (not one thing) to do, I decided I'd do a zoom yoga class with Kyle. Yoga is great for Kyle's diving, and it was something we could do together.

I was actually enjoying this yoga class more than any I've ever taken.  I was thinking about how I could actually do the poses, and that I was doing pretty good.  And then I looked over at Kyle. 

 Note to self:  Don't ever think you're "looking pretty good" when doing yoga next to a diver. 

Exciting Stuff 2

I'm getting complaints that I haven't been blogging enough.  Obviously there's nothing to blog about, but since there is literally nothing going on in the entire world I'll share our "exciting stuff" just so it'll give you something to read for a few minutes. 

So who knows the difference between an opossum and a possum?  (I'm gonna guess my dad.)  Well, for the rest of us, A possum is native to Australia and an opossum is native to the Americas.  

So yes, We technically had an "opossum" in our yard the other night, but I'm from Texas so I'm going to refer to it as a possum, since that's what we call them. 

Chloe went crazy barking at it so we had to go outside and get her to bring her in. 

I'm always scared possums are going to go flying off the fence and land on my face and start attacking me.  

To which Jason replies, "It's a possum, it's going to play possum." 

Whatever. I still think it looks like a giant flying attack rat. 

Puzzle 2

There are no more puzzles to be found on the planet.  I think our down the street neighbors are going to bring us one of their old ones (hopefully).  We only got our hands on this puzzle because we traded the last one we finished for this one with another friend. 

 Jason and I finished this one in record time.  We call Kyle and Reed "The Swoopers" since they swoop in and put the last 15 minutes worth of pieces in. 

So I made them take a picture of Jason and me since we were the ones that really put it together. 

And a picture with Chloe, of course.
