fake bonfire

One day I wanted to have a bonfire but my parents said "no."  So I had to turn on my crafting skills. I got a few corks, a fake candle and yellow tissue paper.  I wrapped the candle in the tissue paper and that is a fake bonfire!

Sunday Hike #2

Family hike #2 - Spring Grove Cemetery.  I know a little eerie but it is ranked as one of the top hikes in Cincinnati.  The trees did not disappoint today.  We also found some of Brad's families relatives buried here.  Felt good to get out of the house and a change of scenery.  

Diana's New Bedroom

Diana wanted bunk beds and Jonathan wanted a bigger bed, so....the kids swapped bedroom furniture this weekend.  Diana's stuffed animals have their own bed now!  And we attempted to ship Diana to Minnesota in the box, unfortunately her legs are a little too long.

It is fun joy!

Turning Over the Ranks

With the kids being home from school due to the Coronavirus, I have decided to teach Diana how to blog and have turned this over to her.  Figured it might be fun to see what we are up to and look back at this time through her eyes.  Stay tuned...

Sunday Hike #1

Today we went hiking at Buzzards Roost in Adams county, an hour plus drive.  We have been wanting to go for awhile now but was hard to find an empty full day to be able to go.  We have the time now!

It's Pool Time

The pool opened today at 5 and we were there at 4:58 ready to go. It was a bit chilly and I didn't even bring my suit but that didn't stop the kids. Diana did an excellent job back floating. Jonathan had more fun playing with his friends, riding the mechanical surfboard and the bouncy house. Diana also loved the bouncy house. Something fun for us to do while Brad was flying back from Vegas.

Quiet Time

Once Diana turned 4, I told her she could be done with napping unless she was having bad behavior.  She still goes up to her room for "quiet time" every day though.  The past 2 out of the 3 days she has fallen asleep during quiet time.  On Monday she fell asleep on the floor and today she actually put herself to sleep in her bed.  Bless her heart for trying to be a big kid but she needs her sleep.
