Today I granted the kids 5 yeses within reason of course and they chose the following:

3 x oreo cookies at our coffee time

2 hours of screen time

30 minutes exploring Google Doodles

Stay up until 20h00

Stay in pyjamas all day

It was not just a day filled with screen time and catching Marshmallow, it was a day filled with little pockets of fun.

We all played some Uno before bed which turned out to be a bad idea! Tired Adam couldn’t deal with the thought of losing and each time it didn’t go his way he would collapse in a puddle of sadness. Poor dude – you are definitely going to bed at 19h00 tomorrow! The extra hour took it out of him

“I am having a mid-lockdown crisis” were Graces words

With schools closing early, social distancing and now the lockdown, it has been about two weeks of being away from other people. With another two weeks to go (well, we’ll see), Grace is now in mid-lockdown crisis. I’m not sure how well everyone will handle this being extended. At least the boys spend loads of time just playing with each other, but I think Grace is missing her friends now.

Back bends for relaxation during quiet time

Grace says we should have called her (him?) Laminator. The laminator grabs the sheet and pulls it through, Marshmallow grabs the flower and makes it disappear quickly as she nibbles it in.

Good thing it was the weekend and I had some time. It took us about half an hour to decide which movie to watch and in the end decided on the one which no one wanted to watch at first, but then after watching a trailer they finally managed to agree. It turned out that “Big miracle” even had a relevant message of working together regardless of our differences to achieve something which we couldn’t do alone.

In times like these it is good to remember that we’re all human, regardless of borders, beliefs or anything else.

Donné started the day with some yoga, so Adam joined in…

Eli has been wanting to build something and we could fortunately russle up enough material for a simple bunny shelter

We’ve been making sure Marshmallow gets some time getting love and cuddles everyday

We also built a skinny and did some backyard XCO laps (although I need to work on my cornering confidence)

The COVID-19 lockdown is upon us and one of our goals is 21 days of blog posts. We’ve fallen out of the habit and this is a good chance to try and build it again.

On the first day of lockdown my true love gave to me, one white bunny!

We’ve adopted one of the free ranging bunnies from our street. The kids are super excited.
