First virtual Rainbow Room dance party, and it was a hit! It’s amazing, for ourselves and especially for the kids, how nice it is to see each other. 

And then the battery ran out at the end of the block and I had to drag the motorcycle back:) This thing is a beast, but the best. 

The sun peaked through the clouds, we ordered food for dinner, we didn’t cook, it came with dessert, the kids went happy bonkers afterwards, we didn’t have a kitchen to clean up, and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Win!

Sure looks cute, huh? The real story here is that Holmes figured out that if he sits and lies on top of Elmo, Elmo will continue to make sounds. In other news, self guided entertainment!

We’ll see what else survives the compost bin for more experiments to come! (Or if we’re capable of growing anything too.)

Thank you, social media, for the idea to paint toys with washable paint and wash them off in the bathtub! Doo Doo here lucked out…can’t say the ‘washable paint’ was completely washable, so we’ll chalk it up to added character:) She’s also sleeping with the paintbrush tonight.

First Zoom with friends! It lasted fifteen minutes, which is when the kids bailed and the parents longingly said, “goodbye.”

Cuddy family gives Zoom a go! Success!

Meryl and I scrambled to the beach in anticipation of the rain descending. It was colder than we anticipated, but I’ll admit that sitting on the log chatting was pretty nice!

We dined al fresco with our neighbors, safely distanced from each other in lawn chairs on the sidewalk. Gosh was it nice to catch up!

Cabin fever got us out of the house and into the sun for breakfast along the canal in front of Meryl’s closed preschool. And Meryl took us on a walk to see all her favorite sights - the dinosaur tree, beaver house, old dock, mallard ducks, poison berries, the parking lot that gets puddles when it rains, and kayaks! (I appreciated seeing the rower.)
