Thais made a chocolate pie (recipe by Joanna Gaines) – the ongoing quest to find a chocolate pie that’s better than Aunt Marion’s.

Sophia styled Avery’s hair:

The first present. Avery wanted to show me his extra-large fort upstairs where he plays video games. I was invited inside.

Breakfast from Orphan’s (the Platas Verdes was great) and fun with everyone.

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!
