Halloween Covid Time!?!

Halloween Cookie Decorating! Thanks Target!

My decorated cat - ha!

I love that they are all serious about their decorating skills!

Time to eat!

It was a wonderful activity as we were HOUSE-BOUND - quarantining from Brent. Yup, unfortunately, Brent tested positive for Covid early October and we were all stuck inside - but separated - waiting it out. Brent set up camp in the spare bedroom and the rest of us stayed upstairs - only venturing down WITH MASKS to eat dinner in the dining room (further away from the spare bedroom). It was quite an adventure with managing the house, kids' school, my work, and trying to be as sanitized as possible.

 

Amazingly, the kids and I continued to test negative (we tested 4 times) through when Brent was finally able to get his negative result. Brent had a really mild case - achey and tired only 2-3 days. As of end of October, Brent still has no sense of smell. 

Moose waiting patiently to be let in for his "visiting hours". 

We tried to keep busy with different activities! 

Finally we all received a green light (negative test) and were able to venture out - freedom!! We made the most of our first time out with the boys' favorite lunch at our favorite spot (the back of the 4Runner)!

We all needed some fresh air - so headed to Bond Park to tackle the 1 mile Story Walk (read a story while you walk the trail... and do some exercises along the way). 

Brock is balancing while reading his page of the story. Make it fair - take turns reading one page! (But yet, they fought over this too....blah)

Screaming "Boo"! I don't think they understand that you should be more quiet on these nature walks. 

Task complete! We finished the story walk - and got a free donut coupon!

What to do when you see a big rolling hill??

Roll baby!

Oh yeah... and we better cash in on that free donut today too!
