WHack-a-doodle

Things have gotten a bit whack-a-doodle around here to say the least! My home is in  constant state of "fort mode" disarray, there is no way to keep up with the mess. But we are here, our family is healthy, there is a house over are heads and as of this moment we are safe.  We are all on a rollercoaster of emotions lately. It is all very scary. Put down the articles, because they aren't really getting anyone anywhere but close to a panic attack before you try to sleep at night. As my Aunty Gwen (a wise woman) once told me, "the sun will still rise and still set". Lets try and focus on what we can control. Take it minute by minute. The alternative is just too grim.

There has been an overall lack of interest in my themed day choices (which have now bled into week long themes). So to mix it up I asked the kids what kind of day they wanted to have,  they came up with Halloween (just a runaround way of getting candy) and animals. Our animal projects are still being executed. But Halloween in March  was actually a lot of fun and we set up their room to be a haunted house, they went trick-or-treating at our door, and dressed up.  Today we are roasting a turkey and having a movie night with our projector in the garage and making movie popcorn with our big popcorn machine. The kids and I were supposed to go see this movie on the night everything went sideways. We have been looking forward to this for a while. We are just adapting. Our days are far from perfect. We are doing our best to stay afloat. This will become our new routine. We can do this. 

Let us end with a banana eating a banana. -Love to everyone
