Adrian had me watch a Netflix documentary called Cooked, it then led me down a rabbit hole of other food shows. I ended up making bread a TON during the month of November. My favorite were the bread bowls and focaccia bread. I also tried pasta making, but that isn’t for me!
My mom had some garden statutes that were getting a bit old. She invited us over to paint them for her. Alice went for the pig right away and of all the colors she could pick, she went for green. So my mom has a really bright green pig in her garden now. It was fun seeing how the girls work. Olivia is similar to me in that she was a little meticulous in her color choices and how to paint her gnome. Jillian did an amazing job on her toadstool and frog, She has such a natural ability to make things cute. Claire was all about efficiency haha she got two done very quickly. She painted the snail and the bird.
Since we are still observing “Shelter in Place” do to Covid-19, we celebrated Mother’s day the best we could. The girls all made me presents that fit their individual style. Claire wrote me a card, with me as the flower and her as a spider. Olivia drew a picture of me on her iPad, and Jillian made me an elephant clay figure. Alice and Adrian got me a beautiful necklace with the girls’ names on it.
Adrian gave me the best present. He took the girls to go swimming so I had a couple of hours to myself in the house. It was glorious.
I just love it so much!
Easter was a little different this year. The girls still got Easter Baskets and an egg hunt but no big family party. My parents swung by to give the girls some goodies. Then Adrian’s parents also dropped off some Easter Baskets. We are lucky that the girls have so many people that adore them!
