We went on a trip to see family!

We went on a trip last month to see family in Indiana and Minnesota!

While there I took some half face shots of my nieces and nephews for a possible grandkids wall 😉

And Nick let me get a shot of him so now I have my whole family! Not sure what I will do with them yet. Got some family shots of my sister and their youngest (oldest is an adult so he was not there). We also took some group shots!

We were so close to having everyone!

My brother and sister and their families were not there and one nephew!

My parents have the nicest walking path nearby!

It was a beautiful time of year to walk on it! Nick went into the store to get all the kids that braved the walk a treat 😉 It was warm enough to swim while we were up there!!! The kids had a blast and I am glad we enjoyed the warm weather because it was about to get a lot colder on our next stop 😉

Week 6

This has all just started to feel normal. Like our normal life has nowhere to go and no one to see.
She loves to get her picture taken.
Finding toads, frogs, and lizards is currently my twins favorite pastime.
They have decided to build an arbor to grow grapes on.
 
The girls helped me build a trellis for one of the raised beds. It was born of using what we had since I was avoiding going to a store. I like it though!

The twins decided to build a dog shelter out of scraps. I think they might have used it more than Milo.

Super Charged Science was all about electronics this week.

We did not have all the stuff to do the projects but the girls enjoyed playing with the snap circuits we had and it sparked a renewed interest in electronics and robotics in the boys.

My oldest really went to town on electronics but he did most of it in the garage so I don’t have any pics.

I usually did not even know he was doing it until afterwards.

I am a bit worried about our cold weather crops getting too hot soon so I am basically willing them to grow faster.

I think most of the kale and radishes should be okay though.

Wild blackberries coming soon! This one will play in mud constantly if you let her.

Finally got some chalk! It has been hard to find.

Easter looked different this year 😉

No one dressed up at our house so it was pretty laid back.

We did an Easter egg hunt which I don’t usually do but I thought it would help the kids with all the changes going on. I thought I made a mistake waiting until Sunday to do the egg hunt when it called for rain all day but thankfully there was a big enough break to do our hunt. We dipped some peeps in chocolate because the twins and I can’t have a lot of the typical Easter candy. 

They were pretty good!

Thankfully our church is online so we can still watch our usual service.

We had some cold days that week so I got to break out the winter Slap Caps I got the girls on clearance!  Cute hats plus Milo still loving jumping for bubbles meant lots of pictures! The twins wear weighted vests sometimes to help with extra energy, in case you were wondering what they are wearing. The Super Charged Science classes on facebook this week were on Civil Engineering and were so good!

I loved that she was so engaging during the whole class and then ended it with a challenge, like build a bridge that can hold weight and use only paper to hold up a book.

I am enjoying how beautiful the light has been and little girls that love blowing bubbles right now. Little Bit was pretending she was Milo chasing the bubbles. After taking a lot of pictures of the twins I decided to prop my camera up on my reflector and try to get some pics with the three of us.

It was fun and I glad I did it!

We got out and drove a bit on Saturday.

I thought I would be super happy to be out and about even if it was just for a drive but I realized I couldn’t have cared less.

Ha

I am apparently more of a homebody than I realized.

What about you?

Do you feel the need to get out and about or are you happy to just stay home?
