Update on the TP Math Challenge

So here we are, 55 days after Aiden completed the TP Math Challenge. We are down to the last 1/2 roll in 2 bathrooms, and down to zero in the other two bathrooms. I guess he was more accurate in his projections than I thought! (PS - we do have a new package of TP waiting to be opened, for anyone who is concerned!!)

Mountain Biking

Aiden & Sean have a favorite new pastime. The've been going up to Yudickey in Nashua quite often. Aiden LOVES it!

Reverse Birthday Parade

Instead of having her friends do a drive-by birthday parade at her house, Bree's neighborhood friend, Asha paraded all over town delivering birthday treats (whoopie pies) to her friends. Happy #12 Asha!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Family birthday #2 in quarantine.

A VERY Special Gift

We all welled up with tears, when Aiden was gifted this 40 year old Boston Marathon t-shirt from Pop. That's a pretty amazing piece of memorabilia to be handed down from grandfather to grandson. Maybe Aiden will follow in his footsteps someday. 💛

Advancement

Aiden's Scout Patrol is going on a virtual campout tonight. Now seemed liked a good time to work on one of his advancement requirements (building a fire) that needs to be completed at a campout. We photographed and video recorded the whole process, so that his patrol leader could sign-off.

To Help People at All Times

Helping out a more senior Girl Scout today who is working on her Gold Award. Bree filmed a bunch of small clips today that the young lady will use in her educational video about recycling. Thanks for helping, Bree!

Pick-up Day at Crisafulli

Sadness is masking up to go pick up your personal belongings that your teacher cleared out of your desk and locker, because you won't be returning to your elementary school again..... This is not how we envisioned saying goodbye to Crisafulli. :-(

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Baking my own birthday cake!

Bree let me kick back and relax a little bit in her camping hammock. It's was glorious!

Darn good cake, if I do say so myself!

Working Away....

Although someone moved his workstation back to where we didn't want it......

Mother's Day

Love these two kiddos who made me a Mom!💞

Delightful Mother's Day breakfast!

And homemade Mother's Day pizza for dinner! Yum!

All in all, a good day (despite being quarantined and not being able to see my own Mom and Grandma 😥 ).

Virtual Birthday Party

This is a first. A virtual birthday party! Leave it to Mrs. Sperry to plan a fun celebration, even when the girls couldn't be physically together. They had a Zoom meeting, with a scavenger hunt and online Jeopardy game, followed by a movie night via NetFlix Party. Last weekend, they dropped off goody bags (so they could be quarantined before being opened tonight) with popcorn and candy. So fun!

Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies

Whipping up another family favorite. These cookies are AMAZING!!

More Socially Distant Birthday Celebrations

One of Bree's besties (her very first friend from before preschool!) turned 11 today. We did a drive-by birthday delivery with her present and some muffins from Muffins on Main. Bree is such an affectionate kid with her friends. It breaks my heart that she couldn't give Elizabeth a great big birthday hug.....

Muddling Our Way Through....

Ugh. Frustration today, as we attempted to join a Google Meet to be introduced to the middle school orchestra teacher. We were not successful in joining, and ended up listening into the meeting via a FaceTime call with one of Bree's friends who was able to successfully join. Wasn't perfect, but we did our best.
