Some corona-moments, from the very beginning of the crazy in our area, which just happened to be on Auntie Rachael’s birthday. Happy birthday, Auntie Rachael!!
Here are 10 make-everyday-worth-it moments from the week that went from the everyday to the craziest part of life I’ve experienced thus far, and hopefully the craziest Lenox and Rodi will ever have to experience.
Our first bath in the new farmhouse sink!
Lenox helped grocery shop for some house staples in case we needed to be home a while (before the real isolation messaging came through in the USA. This was the tip of the iceberg.). Oh how I wish I’d k own to pick up toilet paper and paper towels. Lenox did pick out which cake she’d buy Auntie Rachael for her birthday if we lived near each other though (Yum)!
Chase and Brandon sent a video of their Mustang, Scarlett - this was L’s excited face. And this pic was just TOO cute not to share.
We also had a little corona-quarantine fun.
Soccer in the backyard with daddy (Thank you, Liam, for letting us play with your green soccer ball. We’ll make sure it makes it home with you next visit, but until then, we’ll make sure it’s not lonely!).
And a silent rave while the kiddos slept. DJ Mel in ATX spun up some JAMZ from 6 til 12 and we bounced around and danced our booties off, along with 1.2k other folks around the world!
Someone discovered the washer and dryer, and she was mesmerized!!! For like 3 minutes 🤣.
Lenox and I did our first “LUNCH DOODLES with Mo Willems!” art lesson. He writes and illustrates both The Pigeon and The Elephant and Piggy books. The Kennedy center is live streaming him every weekday at 1pm during quarantine for the kiddos to have a creative outlet. Thanks, Mo!

Since everyone was to be quarantining on St. Patty’s day, our neighborhood put shamrocks up in windows and lawns so kids could walk or bike around and “spot the shamrock”. It was so fun! And one neighbor even put out temporary tattoos - oooooh 👏🏻🍀 And of course we all dressed in our best (read: only) green outfits!
Last but not least (and not really last - they just only allow 10 pics per post 😂) Rodi and I went through her drawers and the bins of Lenox’s old clothes I found as we slowly declutter the garage and tried to organize, sort, fold, put away, stack and store the sizes for easy swaps as she grows - and easy drawer access while she uses the size ranges. I’d love to say “it’s done!!” but it’s totally not - it’s a work in progress.
