March Part 3

The boys are starting to get crazy. They have time to play! They have been dragging their comfortors around making nice little nests everywhere they go. They have also discovered they can run around in their underwear. I try to keep them clothed, but I'm not doing a good job of that! Ha!

Nolan's first rainbow!

Working on his ABCs.

 

I have been working on this jeans quilt for about three years now. Three years. I finally got it all sewn together and clipped the edges. I took it to the laundromat, washed and dried it. I think it turned out pretty good. It's very heavy and sturdy. I would enjoy making another one but with bigger squares! The little squares were quite tedious! 

  

We have found a forest not too far from us. We have been going there about three years now. This was one of our first times this year and they had cut down some trees. We got a beautiful view of the Augustusburg--a fortress in our area. Really pretty!

March Part 2

And the start of home schooling because of Corona. I must admit I was overwhelmed for a while but we got into a routine after about four weeks. Ha! It took me that long. Elliot's teacher sent home school work and we had plenty to do for him. I wanted Nolan to also do "school". I figured it was a good time to work with him more. Letters and numbers for Nolan. He had shown interest in both, but we had never really practiced them. Well, now we had time! We were on lockdown so that meant you were only allowed to leave the house to go to work, grocery shopping and sports but only by yourself. Well, since I was a mom with two little boys, we were doing sports! And every afternoon, I took the boys in the park. The park had never been so full of people doing sports. Police starting making their rounds and telling people to not congregate and meet. I was not supposed to sit on a blanket--I should have been doing sports. Well, I can't throw the frisbee and play soccer the entire time. The policemen were really nice and I had the feeling they were embarrassed to even have to talk to us. We were not loud, no drinking, etc. We got into a routine--school and housework in the morning and sports in the afternoon. 

I did a bubble snake with the boys. Pinterest has always been my lifeline--even more so now. Lots of great ideas and worksheets for Nolan.

He's making progress on writing his name!

The boys cooked for me!!!  Yummy!

First Sunday worshiping online with our church!

Beginning of March

The spring flowers started poking out of the ground! What a wonderful sight! We spent some time in the park not far from us. Corona was slowly making it's way to Germany. I had no idea what would happen and I even got tickets for the summer trip to the States. If only I would have waited two weeks...oh well.

We have been healthy since almost Christmas. Amazing! God has been good to us.

We hung the bird feeder up that we made at Baking & Crafts. Oma has enjoyed having the birds.
