under quarantine.

The stomach bug has hit three of our tiny family of four.
Greg started a new rotation this Monday.  His new hours are wake up at 4:30am and come home by 7ish... maybe.
Sunday afternoon Ray came down with it and we all missed Mass.  He was sick through most of the night.  What did that mean for Greg? Like 3-4 hours of sleep.
Monday Ray was better.  He didn't eat much, but he was back to his chipper self. We were even made it to the pool on Monday and Tuesday.

Wednesday morning around 2:00am Jimmy got it. I went to bed around the time Greg got up for work. 
Jimmy woke up not feeling well, but after two giant naps he was okay.
Meanwhile, I felt like a sitting duck. 
I'll spare you the details.
I lost 5lbs in one day. 
I'm over the worst of it.
Thank you, Jesus!
Anyway, we're quarantined to the house until I say we are all better. Great excuse for lots of tv and pajamas all day.  

And sharing with you some photos from the family visit from last week.

let them be bored

Schools are cancelling.  Kids are home. Kids are homeschooling (at least for a couple of weeks). For those parents "stuck" at home with your kids (assuming they are healthy), I have one request, one social experiment I would LOVE to see play out.  Let your kids be bored! Shut down electronics. Turn off phones. Keep the television off.  Let your kids be bored out of their minds.  After a day or two of whining and complaining that will push you to your limits, they WILL find something to do. They will wander outside and play some ball, or bike, or dig in the dirt.  They will find art supplies and create something.  They will play board games. They will play and fight with their siblings.  They will read and go on literary adventures.  They will talk with you, your family and their friends.  They need to be bored out of their freaking minds before they hit a wall and decide to DO SOMETHING with their time.  Let them be bored and watch them come alive.

heart to heart.

Greg's brother, Kevin, stayed with us for a few days. Jimmy bonded with his Uncle Kevin. Once when he was crying, Kevin and I were sitting on the couch, I opened my arms to Jimmy but he walked right past me and climbed onto Kevin's lap. If Jimmy fussed Kevin scooped him up and carried him outside, all crying ceased. He took both boys outside every morning so I could shower and get ready. Kevin and I took the boys to the beach.  It was relaxing. Kevin did the usual beach stuff, burying Jimmy in the heavy sand, chasing Ray 1/2 mile down the beach because he never stops running... ever. It was getting close to leaving time. A couple showed up and the woman started burying what I though was a spike for a beach umbrella in the sand. I thought it was strange that she was placing it in out direct path to the water from where we were sitting, and there was literally no one else around, so why there? Turns out it wasn't for an umbrella, it was a spike for not one, but two
