Squeaky Clean


Mom still loves her orange truck! The household joke is that Mom loves her truck more than Emmie, and it is common for someone to start singing, "Don't touch my truck!" In this case, I suppose the next line would be, "unless you're going to wash it for me."

Coronavirus Quarantined

Emmie's first request was that we rearrange her room.  Mom is conditioned to doing this task to the point that she didn't even blink when asked.  With a torn calf muscle, she went to work deconstructing the loft bed.  In the picture below, Emmie awaits a llama lamp and fairy lights.


Emmie has taken to writing list after list, calendars, etc.
    


A homeschool day at Adirondack Elementary consists of reading, a documentary, art, a dog walk, stair running, math and LA worksheets.




We ran out of fresh fruit, but have plenty of frozen so Emmie learned how to make sorbet.  She was showing this creation to Katie over FaceTime when Katie noticed that it was smiling at her.

"Eric makes the best homemade pizza EVER!"




Firewood collection lead to fireside chats (and reading):


3 White Tails (Lu, Crosley and Buck)



Fashionista - Emmie is wearing this dress upside down:


R&R (the dogs need it given the number of miles Eric amasses each day with a dog always at his side).....







Even Mom found an hour to rest....

Homemade Pup Tent

As soon as Emmie left her contraption, Lu was found sleeping in it.  Hence, a true pup tent.
