Andrew got me these beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day. Then he asked  me to Venmo the payment. Uhm. Thanks.
Kids read the card that came with flowers and kept asking Andrew who wrote the card for him. Lol! They know their dad too well!

Went to Costco for the first time since Feb. I had so much anxiety going there, but it actually wasn’t as bad at all! In and out in 1 hr. after cart full of groceries. I’m grateful for the Costco workers! Everyone was so friendly and working hard to keep everyone safe!

I’m finding quiet mornings to do my daily devotions now that everyone has pretty much settled into their own regular routines at home. I have 7 am prayer time with my Bible study friends then after making everyone breakfast, I have breakfast alone while watching/listening to my old pastors daily video sermons. So blessed to have these accesses! Thank you Pastor Will & Pastor Josh for your dedication and sharing your wisdom every morning!  

Sunlights began to lingering longer, inviting the kids to play outside after dinner.

My mom and I went for a walk too. 

I’ve been trying different flavor smoothies from Daily Harvest and they definitely bring a unique twist to smoothies I never thought to throw in together. Kids, who aren’t effusive with my everyday green smoothies, are loving some of these unique flavors.

I’ve been cooking A LOT since the quarantine started and it’s our first time getting Chinese take out in… I don’t even remember. 

NJ has opened its State parks today so we thought we would check out the world outside of the house. The park we went was crowded with many people not wearing their masks and practicing social distance. We didn’t stay long because despite the beautiful weather, we didn’t enjoy being out with too many people nearby. This new world feels intimidating…

He took off his mask right before getting in the car to give me his best smile. When would we be able to walk around normal, mask free? 🙁 

Tried making Nadiya’s traybake pancake. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/peanut_butter_jelly_30293

Shane decided he would sleep in Chloe’ hanging chair tonight. Yeah, that lasted an hour before Chloe kicked him out.
