September has gone by quickly so far. We stayed holed up for 4 months and then all of a sudden we semi re-entered society and its been a shock to our systems:) We are still in a global pandemic, but trying to find ways to do things safely. We started off the month by cashing in on Parker's bday gift from Nanny & Pop, and seeing Jurassic Quest, drive through style. Parker loved seeing all the dinosaurs and anxiously waited for his favorite, T-Rex.
We did an adult boat day as an early bday celebration, and we had the best time. It was so relaxing and just fun. The girls got me a cookie cake and some other goodies and we floated, swam and laughed all day.
Ainsley is in a little "pod" with two other girls from her class. Each of us moms takes one day a week with the girls. This has been life saver for all of us. They sit at the table together, on their head phones, and do school together. They pack their lunches, have recess then come back in to do their specials and independent work. It is amazing how well they have adapted and the technology they are learning through virtual learning. Now if we could find a way to keep Parker occupied... :)
We celebrated the Derby and Grape Grandmas birthday while the MI family was in. We all drew horses and cheered them on. Grandma won the pot and was so happy to receive the rose necklace!
We have had lots of good cousin time in Gtown, and we said our goodbyes to the Wilhoite pool, until next summer.
We also said our goodbye to our neighborhood pool.
Parker has been doing really well at soccer and has the best cheerleaders.
Mom and I took our annual birthday shopping trip to the outlets and I love all of my things. It was a little different with masks, limited people in each store, and no food court, but we still scored the deals :)
Parker got to join in on the pods science experiment :)
We took a little hike.
And Parker has been working diligently on his letters.
We are trying our best to be safe in all the things that we do, but also doing what's best mentally for all of us. Such a weird time to be alive and so thankful for the many blessings that we have had through it all.
