Year 2, Week 42: A Week of Activity!

One thing about quarantine - we have actually been able to keep up on communicating with you all - unfortunately there is not a lot going on here so there isn't a lot to say! Last week was a little busier though, so this week may be a little bit more exciting!

Monday I ended up with a lot of tasks! Grocery shopping, shots, blueberry muffins, granola, meal prep and then prepared everything for soup! We went to game night and got there a little early so we could make the soup there and have it fresh for everyone! It was a new recipe and ended up being pretty good! The guys played some bocce ball while Mom and I came home to grab a few things. Once we got back, we played some 7 Wonders and sevens before we came home.

I worked Tuesday-Thursday. Full days Tuesday and Thursday, then an overlap shift on Wednesday. While I was gone on Tuesday Jonathan worked on the table, cleaned and mowed, then relaxed for the evening. Wednesday night I got home at six, Jonathan, Dad, Mom and Shem were here, Mom made fillet mignon with wine sauce, baked potatoes and veggies and we played Ticket to Ride. It was Shem's last evening in the state, so we enjoyed some time together as a family. Thursday I worked the whole day and Jonathan worked, then relaxed for the evening.

Friday I was off, got a few things checked off my to-do list and then we spent time together in the evening. We went to Giant Eagle, picked up Buffalo Wild Wings and Hot Heads, then came home, ate and played some Wii! 

Saturday was a great day. We went biking in the morning - we went about 10 miles! It was a good day to ride bike. After that, we went to the hardware and picked up some primer to start working on the bottom part of the table Jonathan has been working on, then went to get some ice cream and ate it in the park on our bench. Since we had ice cream for lunch, we had a late dinner. Mom and Dad came over for dinner and sat by the fire with us. It was a great night enjoying a beautiful day! 

Sunday ended up being super beautiful! We were pleasantly surprised by how it ended up being, so we got a lot done! Church in the morning at Mom and Dad's, then went for a walk though the woods. On the way home, we went to the hardware again and got some paint. Once we got home we had some leftovers for lunch, then got a few things done! We put another layer of primer on the table, then Jonathan mowed while I did some dishes. When I finished, I went and helped him finish washing the truck and put another coat of paint on. It still needs a little bit more, but then we will be ready to show you some pictures of it! For dinner, we had Dickerhoof Specials and Mac and Cheese for dinner, then smoothies for dessert! It was all delicious. 

We are a bit disappointed that the weather has not been as nice as it was, but otherwise it has been pretty nice since. Can't wait to see you all soon. Stay safe and stay well. We love you all!

Love,

Alli and Jonathan
