This past weekend was my first full week (it seems longer) of not
working. I miss work (ok I miss the adult interaction it gave me) a bit
but we are adjusting.
The
time I get spend with my daughter is a compensation (you know except when it
isn't). One recent change is she now gets to pick out her own clothing
(with mom and dad judging if its appropriate to the weather) toddler chic at
its finest.
We’ve
been doing lots of walks and as you may know Evelyn likes to pick up rocks. The
other day Evelyn brought a rock to me and proclaimed, “I found an ear!” I looked an asked if it could be a troll ear
(you know like the Hobbit). My wife immediately
says, “Like in Frozen!” That sums up the difference in our thought processes
when it comes to Fantasy. Evelyn agreed
with Ariana having not seen the Hobbit, the animated (and only valid movie)
version is a bit beyond her thought I may need to rethink this soon.
Still
really does resemble an ear.
We
also did the hunt and saw the Easter bunny from a safe social distance.
One
of our neighbors who is missing her grandkids put out some eggs for Evelyn and
gave her Cupcakes, which she instated on carrying herself, and some pansy’s to
plant in our garden.
Easter
morning Evelyn and I made blueberry muffins.
Evelyn
got lots of goodies, jellybeans, teddy grams and chocolates. Also, stickers and
a couple of toys.
The Princess counting cards were a particular hit.
Easter Dinner was Pork with a Fig sauce, potatoes, squash
and asparagus. Evelyn helped with the Potatoes
and Squash mixing the seasoning and helping me place them on the pan for
cooking.
I'm finding social distancing a license to paint more minis!
