bon appétit!

Shane helped me make roasted potatoes with garlic and parsley.

yI made an Italian Easter pie. I actually messed up my dough last night so had to run to a market this morning and got lucky with finding a pre-made dough! Turned out not very pretty looking but pretty delicious nevertheless. 

Also made Texas Oven-Roasted beef brisket. 

Andrew and kids are making dessert for our special easter dinner! They made lemon blueberry bunt cake! And jello. 😉

I told my family to get dressed nicely but I showed up in my sweatpants. Oops! I was busy cooking in the kitchen and didn’t have time to change. Oh well, at least I look decent from the waist up. lol.

We are having a fun movie night tonight. Watching a Back to the Future. Classic. Kids got hungry during the movie, so I made them pb&J sandwiches. Andrew showed them how to properly eat them by dunking it in the cold refreshing milk.

Besides eating these days, what we’ve been really focusing on is family devotion time before bed. We used to skip often or rush through it before when we had normal schedules, but now that we have much free time, kids and I have been trying to spend more time praying and reading scriptures together. They also started reading Bible on their own when they first wake up in the morning. Not everyday and they need constant reminder to do so,  but it’s a start and I’m thankful for these special times. Hopefully we’ll continue faithfully when we get out of the quarantine…

Worked out a deal with this guy. $10 an hr. He vacuumed the whole first floor and I did the second floor. My arms are about to fall off. 
Contemplating on buying I-robot vacuum cleaners on Amazon at the moment…

I’m going to actually miss this relaxed family breakfast times when this pandemic is over. The rest of the family already ate and left but these two are taking their time, eating and talking before they decide to go log into school…

Can’t believe this is already our 3rd week of livestream worship! Miss seeing everyone but I’m thankful for this technology. I was also happy to see/chat with my Bible study group virtually this week.

This is what our family worship looks like. Glad everyone’s wearing pants. You know who I’m talking about. 

I took a peek inside my parents room while they worship and surprise to see they got so dressed up! My parents are so cute. 🙂
