Day 90 something or 100 something...who's counting

I am still working from home full time.  Scott is back in the office and the kids have finished their school year.  Milo is officially a fourth grader, Liesel a second grader, and Maddox a Kindergartner.  I have always that that once we made it here, all three kids in school, my work schedule would be easier.  Then COVID happened.  Who knows what school will look like next year.  The current thought is that elementary kids can either remote learn 100% of the time or go back 100%.  If you go back there will be distancing requirements, masks, and hand washing.  I am not sure how that will work with all those littles, but for our family going back to school feels like the right option.  My kids are missing their friends and craving social interaction. We will have to be flexible and are lucky to have work schedules that will allow us to pivot if school schedules change depending on how healthy people are.  Miss Jan is starting to watch her new granddaughter in July so she will only be with us one day a week.  Nana is going to step in and help us through this upcoming year.  Who knows what is in store for us, but fingers crossed we come out the other end better people.

The kids have spent a lot of time in the sand box this summer. 

When you tell the kids they can't have screen time you get roped into all sorts of things including face painting.  

Creek play time 

We got to meet Ms. Jan's new granddaughter, Izzy.  The kids were over the moon with her.  

I knew Liesel loved babies, but I was so surprised at how much Milo loved holding Ms. Isabel.

She loved Maddox's red shirt. 

Both Maddox and Milo started baseball last week.  This is Maddox's first year at tee-ball.  He loved it. 

There may be nothing cuter than tee-ball 

Milo has started to try out contacts.  He wanted to try them for sports and when he found out he would have to wear a mask at school he really pushed for it.  His glasses tend to fog up in his mask.
