Uh-oh, Avery likes using 2 iPads at once.

I drove Thais’ car to drop off Avery and Sophia for golf lessons.

I found out what Carson likes at Starbucks: chocolate milk and a cheese Danish.

And all those crumbs did not fall in my car. Smile.

A rousing game of Dog Bingo. Carson was so funny. Every time he was able to put a blue dot on his card, he would clap once and shout, “Alright, let’s go!”

Sophia had a drive-by birthday with a few of her friends yesterday which was a surprise for her. Today she is 11 and the family celebration is quite small. I was unable to shop for a card so I made one with fabric scraps:

The fabrics are from a collection called Pie Making Day 🙂

While Carson and I played Mousetrap, Sophia and Avery worked on an online drawing lesson by the art teacher at their school:

Carson helped to measure all the ingredients for Pinwheel Cookies:

The game of Life:

A golf lesson with physical distancing:

Meanwhile, in the back seat:

While we were waiting in the very long Starbucks drive-through, Carson started talking to Avery’s feet. And Avery’s feet talked back. Oh, the laughter!

I’ve been walking or bike riding every day that it’s not raining or cold and windy. It’s about 5 miles to Thais and Lenin’s house. Thais was inside working, Lenin was outside with the kids:
Skinny enough to go THROUGH the fence:

Riding back along Fisherman’s Lake Parkway:

Sophia and Avery did some homework. Carson and I played Dog Bingo. This is a picture of Carson cheating. He compares the dogs on my card to the dogs on his card, then he looks at the tiles inside the bag and chooses the one that lets him always be ahead in the count. I don’t say a word, I’m laughing hysterically on the inside.

Carson helped me get a small box of Easter decorations out of a cabinet over the washing machine (and I didn’t have to climb a ladder). Then he helped me decorate. He was very proud of the “set up” he created.

A break in the monotony: Sophia, Avery, and Carson came over for a couple of hours. We played Ravine. Carson was in charge of passing out (or sending them flying across the table) the correct number of forage cards.

The madness card demanded a staring contest. The first person to laugh or talk lost one heart.

Rather than eating out in a restaurant to celebrate Justin’s new job, Supervising Construction Inspector 4 for the City of Sacramento, everyone came to my house for dinner.

After dinner, we played Ravine.

As Uncle Justin prepared for a thumb-wrestling contest with the player on his right, he had to sing everything he wanted to say to Sophia. It’s a terrible thing when you draw a Madness card.

A game on Monday.

On Wednesday, Sophia went to her first AAU basketball practice at St Francis.

Avery’s baseball practice started at the same time and, thankfully, was only 2 miles away.
