Well here we are. Staying in place. Until May.

Today, the Governor announced a 2 week stay in place starting on Friday at 5 pm. He also said he hopes school can resume on Monday, May 4. YOU AND ME BOTH, FINE SIR.

I mean, I’m gonna be honest and say that our family is SUPER lucky that we have a pretty easy-going kid who has been a delight to hang out with 90% of the time. He’s not hard. It’s just that we don’t have the time to ourselves any more to catch up on email, work on our careers, listen to podcasts etc etc etc. I just miss the normalcy. And play dates. Hot damn, do I miss play dates.

But, I’m trying to think positive about this and the additional time I’m getting with this amazing child who is reading like crazy, who gets real mad at me for making him practice his piano over and over again and who spit out his brussels sprout last night at dinner with a look of horror that I would even try to get that one past him. You know what kid? I agree. Frozen brussels sprouts are terrible compared to fresh. I won’t try to trick you again.

The photos today are of Jamie and Ezra during our daily Mac Barnett story time on Instagram. It is truly one of our daily highlights, and I loved the hats my boys wore today. Enjoy.
