Covid 19 Quarantine Week 3

This was such a wonderful night because Addison's 5th grade teachers surprised their students with a drive by parade!  The teachers were crying, Addison was crying, I was crying...it was just so good to see their smiling faces and they had signs and honking, it was a sweet memory.  Addison's teachers texted me after the parade to say they will never forget Addison standing on top of her mailbox waving and smiling at them, they said they started crying after seeing her and had to call each other to get themselves together.  So many emotions during these uncertain times, but one thing is certain.  Our Ocean Springs teachers love their babies.



We did A LOT of drive by birthday celebrations during the quarantine.  We would decorate my car and drive by the friend's house honking, singing, dancing and hanging out the sunroof and windows.
Pretty much any amount of silliness to make the birthday friend feel special.

We continued to attend online church and worshipped together as a family.

Ouchies from the constant N95 mask.

We were blessed with friends that wanted to help out Stephen by protecting him while he was at work.  We had friend's drop off masks and gowns and gloves.  The shortage of protective gear was a problem throughout the whole COVID 19 ordeal, doctors and nurses were having to re-wear masks.  It was a scary time.  

The kids and I made signs and pictures for the nursing home residents because they were not allowed any visitors.  We had to drop them off at the front door of the nursing home and we just waved from behind the glass doors.  We hope it brought them a smile.

We continued to enjoy the beach at this point, while they were still open.  

Science experiments at home now :) 

My mini me is now bigger than me.

Still the best way to social distance and feel like life will be ok.  
The "rules" at this point are stay six feet away from other people and no more than groups of 10.  We have pretty much just kept it to our family of 5.
