The Weekend

Friday, my little brothers class did a drive by parade for his teacher. We all had the same teacher for first grade and so the whole family went. Ms. Wanczyk was so excited to see all of us. It rained on our parade and the signs my brother and sister made got all messed up.

Saturday we had some neighbors over to swim and play games outside. Sunday was Mother’s Day. We got up and watched church on tv and she just wanted to relax at the house by the pool

And read her book. She wanted Flower Child for lunch but no one else did. So my dad went and picked up her food and then went and got the rest of our food from Whataburger. It looked a lot better than hers. We swam most of the day since that is what she wanted to do. 

Cinco de Mayo

Our 2nd holiday since we have been in quarantine (our 3rd if you count St. Patricks day). My family loves mexican food so this is one we enjoy celebrating. We had some friends over for games, mexican food and swimming. It is so nice to start being around people again. We don't go anywhere outside our house just yet but we have invited a couple families over that we know have also been quarantining. Other than that, there is nothing new that is going on. Same every day. School work, maybe a walk or a swim, watch tv and play video games with my friends online. 

Normalcy

I can't remember if I mentioned in the last post, but things are gradually starting to open back up. Restaurants are open with a capacity of 25% and most stores and theaters are now open as well. We have not gone to a restaurant yet. I did have an orthodontist appointment last week and that was a nice sense of normalcy. My mom could not go in with me and I did have to wear a mask. Saturday my parents let me have my girlfriend Zoe over. We went for a walk around the lake, swam and my parents made wings and we had dinner out on the patio. My sister also had a friend over, so it was nice to see other people.

My sister loves to bake (one thing I do like about her) and has been baking like crazy over quarantine. She went a friends and learned how to make macarons and has been making them everyday since. My brother also helped make some donuts the other day. It has been constant baking. I can't complain. 

I am glad we only have a month left to do school work. That is about all for now. 

It's been a while...

Note; I actually wrote this sooner, I just forgot to publish it.

I haven't really had much to write about. We are still at home (going on 6 or 7 weeks now). The weather has been nice out so we have spent a lot of time outside. The governor is starting to open a couple things up this week, I do not think my mom will let me go to the movies or anything just yet though. I will post a few pictures my mom has taken the past week of us hanging out outside swimming and on walks. I have enjoyed looking at the fun rocks everyone has painted in our neighborhood. There are some pretty fun ones (astros, pokemon, spider man, texans...to name a few). My little brother went to stay at my grandparents for a few days this past week too, which made for a very quiet couple of days. My grandpa feeds this squirrel every day at his house, so he comes up to him whenever he walks outside. While my brother was there, my grandpa sent me this pretty cool video of the squirrel climbing on my brothers leg. I will post that too.
