Day 3 & 4 & 5 & 6

Well this whole quarantine mess is for the birds!  We all feel great so it has become super challenging to stay home.  The days are boring and pretty much the same so I haven't felt the need to write much about it.  The kids sleep in.  They usually wakeup and go for a drive, just to get out of the house.  Then they come home and try to be a bit productive.  Then they have a pattern of scrolling their phone, watching TV, reading, playing volleyball in the backyard, "swimming" in our blow up pool on the deck, making something.......cakes......

candles.......

we have a family dinner and usually take Audrey to practice her driving.......

Another cool thing is the kids.....mostly Jackson....have been writing a TV show with some friends. Jackson has spent hours on it! I have never seen him enjoy writing so much! I'm going to try to get some pictures of him in the coming days! 

Its not bad at all.....it's just a lot of sameness.....

I will say  a few good things.....I'm trying to form a habit of walking as soon as I wake up each morning.  I will make up any reason at all to not work out.  I hate working out!  I feel so good after though.  So I'm waking up and heading outside to walk for 30 minutes and then getting on with my day.  It's hard to make excuses when we have nothing going on and no where to be, so hopefully I can form the habit during this time and it will stick!

Another highlight of my morning is that I have come up with a coffee concoction that I'm thinking may meet my coffee needs.  You see.....I like my coffee sweet and creamy and not high in calories.  Its a problem.  1 T of French vanilla creamer has 35 calories......I like about 3 T.......it makes it sweet enough and the right color.  But that is more calories then I want in 1 cup of coffee.......So today I tried 1T. of creamer with my coffee, plus 1 Splenda and 3 T. of 2%milk.  It was the right color and sweetness!  I feel a lot better about 43 calorie coffee than I did about 105 calorie coffee.  Its not quiet a good, but definitely acceptable!

Oh and in other news.....the blueberries are almost ready to pick!  I'm trying to get them before the birds do!
