April was more stay-at-home days because of corona virus. I guess you could stay we're getting used to homeschool and our new, temporary normal. Although there is a lot to be anxious of, and some days are very long and tiring, the plus side of all this is not unnoticed by me. The girls are (overall) really great playmates. I'm so glad they have each other. And they're getting extra time with both of their little brothers that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten. Mom is here every weekday helping with babysitting and schooling (Mom- thanks for being a wonderful playmate for B, and helping the girls with school- especially Charley's "stinky worksheets"). ;)
In a way, it was a big month. We celebrated Easter, my birthday, and Charley's birthday. And happy 4 months to Crew!
 |
| This letter from Lily is one I will literally keep forever. Love love love. |
 |
| Charley's Pinkalicious! |
 |
| It was so cute... they're watching Sesame Street (B loves Elmo), and they were so genuinely excited when the letter of the day was B! |
 |
| Progress at the house, and a worm to boot. ;) |
 |
| Sweet ride over by school. Stopped by their classrooms from outside and it gave Charley "happy tears." |
 |
| Homeschool is hard work. Here's C taking a little break with a 'Count to 100' video. I'll always think of Jack Hartman (whom I never knew before) when I think of our time in homeschool. ;) |
 |
| New slide! |
 |
| The classic Briggsy shirt! |
 |
| Okay, these little shoes will always remind me of Charley in Kindergarten. She wore them almost every day and they've got the holes to prove it. |
 |
| Lily left me instructions to water her plant and play it rock music while she was gone. ;) |
 |
| C's homemade stationary bike. |
 |
| Happy Easter! |
 |
| Happy first Easter, Crew! |
 |
| On the hunt. |
 |
| I couldn't find egg dye on Instacart so I put it out there on the Sedgefield Facebook page and a nice neighbor had some extra for us. |
 |
| Lily's secret code, and Hogan's response. :) |
 |
| We thought we'd go to Lazy 5 Ranch... I guess so did everyone else in Charlotte. 5 hour wait. The girls had an awesome attitude about it (and spoiler alert, we made it back in May). |
 |
| On his phone. ;) |
 |
| Girls run. |
 |
| Just excited as Lily to start book #2! |
 |
| Teddy bear tea party. |
 |
| Found the old hat. ;) |
 |
| Class zoom chat on the Friday before Charley's birthday. This is her face when her class sang Happy Birthday to her. |
 |
| 36. |
 |
| Suddenly a two wheeler! I mean, it was like a light switch went off. Go Charley! |
 |
| Found this at the bottom of the napkins. :) |
 |
| C's birthday eve. |
 |
| Happy 6, Charley!!! |
 |
| Charley's school. |
 |
| Sharing Lambie at her class morning meeting where all the kids got to share lovies. :) |
 |
| Insisted on giving $5 of her own money to Grandma's Second Harvest donation. |
 |
| Happy 4 months, Crew!!! |
