Slices of Life - April 2020

EASTER CRECHE AND BOOK
APRIL 1, 2020
Picture
​As I have been preparing for Easter, I decided I wanted to be a bit more focused on Christ and so I ordered the Christ-Centered Easter book and an Easter creche to use during our scripture study. I loved the stories focused around people close to Christ in this book and how much more prepared mentally we all were for Easter.

​​EMMA’S FAVORITE BREAKFAST

APRIL 1, 2020
Picture
​The question I usually hear every morning from Emma is, “Do we have avocados?” That is primarily because her favorite breakfast is now avocado and egg toast just like me. She has finally learned how to do her own sunny side down eggs and that makes her so very happy.

ABBY AND MADELINE ARE TWINERS
APRIL 1, 2020
Picture
​Abby and Madeline love to play together. One day Abby put on the same sweatshirt as Madeline so that they could be twiners. They were both so cute and Madeline was so happy to be matching with Abby.

​KIDS MAKING COOKIES

APRIL 2, 2020

​Andrew loves to bake and so he brought out his cookbook and made Hershey kiss peanut butter cookies. Emma helped him make them and they were out of this world delicious. It’s nice that Andrew knows his way around the kitchen.

​HOMEMADE PIZZA
APRIL 3, 2020
Picture
Homemade deep-dish pizza is absolutely the best kind of homemade pizza. I love it when Mike makes it. It’s also the perfect excuse to drink root beer since we don’t really drink soda in our house. ​

​GENERAL CONFERENCE

​We always look forward to watching General Conference together at home in our basement. This year was especially exciting as we were all looking forward to some hopeful messages from the leaders of our church during the COVID19 pandemic. President Nelson and others totally delivered. 

EMMA’S NEW BIKE
APRIL 4, 2020

Picture
​After two months of procrastinating, we finally took Emma to the bike store and got her fitted for her first mountain bike. She was so excited to finally be getting the other half of her birthday present just in time for the good weather.

ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS
APRIL 8, 2020

Picture
​We made a fire and roasted marshmallows for the first time this year. The kids enjoyed talking and eating yummy smores around the fire.

BING WATCHING STRANGER THINGS
APRIL 13, 2020

Picture
​One of the things that helped us through the first few weeks of COVID19 was binge watching Stranger Things together. We got through all three seasons rather quickly. There were even a few things we didn’t notice from watching it the first time.

PLAYING WITH MADELINE
APRIL 8 & 22, 2020

​It’s heartwarming to see the kids take Madeline outside to play with her. Peter took her outside several times to play with her. It was not uncommon for him to spend over an hour playing with her doing chalk and bubbles or jumping on the trampoline. She just loved that.

MIKE’S PROTECTIVE GEAR
APRIL 23, 2020

Picture
​It always makes me feel better when I know Mike is wearing super protective gear when he operates, especially because he is in the airway most of the time. I can’t wait until we are past COVID19 so I can stop worrying so much every time he goes to work.

MADE FIRST FACE MASK
APRIL 24, 2020

Picture
​I had no desire to make face masks since we have access to Mike’s medical face masks. However, I thought it would be fun to make one just for fun. The 5 min face mask took me way too long to make the first time mostly because I had to make my templates. However, I thought it turned out pretty well.

QUECHE AND CAKE IN A JAR
APRIL 24, 2020

Picture
​Mike tried a new recipe and it was oh so yummy. He made a crustless cheese and broccoli quiche and it was outstanding. To top off the fun dinner he also made cake in a jar!

SARA’S BIRTHDAY
APRIL 25, 2020

​Mike and the kids really did a great job making my birthday special this year. I got two giant balloons reminding me of how young I am and a yummy ice-cream cake with 42 actual candles. I blew ALL of them out in one breath. That’s right…I’m not old yet. The kids got me the Elton John Diamonds vinyl and a unicorn pinata to beat the crap out of. From Mike I get a new TREK Domane SL6 road bike which I am super excited to get. 

ANDREW’S CREAM PUFFS
APRIL 28, 2020

Picture
Andrew decided to make cream puffs for the first time. Oh yeah, they turned out perfectly and so incredibly delicious. He really does have a talent in the baking department.


DATE NIGHT AT THE PARK
APRIL 29, 2020

Picture
​Mike and I needed some time away from the kids, so we ordered dinner from Ted’s and headed on over to Fox Run Park to eat and relax. It was so nice to have some quiet time together. 

REORGANIZING THE BIKES
APRIL 30, 2020

Picture
​The one bad thing about the nice weather is how quickly the garage can get disorganized and cluttered. With so many of us using our bikes frequently, the back of the garage was getting out of control. I spent one morning after a bike ride with Emma organizing all the bikes and cleaning up the clutter. It made me so much happier to see a clutter free garage again.

SKATEBOARD GIRLS
APRIL 30, 2020

Picture
​Madeline loves it when Abby will take her for a ride on the skateboard.
