Today marks exactly four weeks of being quarantined at home. Now let's be honest, I've been out several times for necessities but the kids have literally been out of the house ONE time (see below). We have no idea how much longer we'll be at home, but at least another month. So here are a few glimpses into the past week.
One day we built a volcano and conducted a science experiment. This kit was a gift and has been in our toy closet for probably years. . . saved for a perfect time like today!

First, they built the mold of the volcano, then it had to dry. Next was painting and letting that dry. Surprise, we had plenty of time to let things dry! :)  |
They loved watching the acid and base react!!
Then, another day, we worked on dying Easter eggs. Thankfully we also did this outside because someone accidentally knocked over the blue cup before we even started. It was a fun activity for a beautiful day outside.
Sadly, this week we got the news that a dear friend of mine has been referred to hospice after a long fight with cancer. We used to live in the same neighborhood, still go to the same church, and have kids the same ages. This woman is amazing! Her faith, trust, and love for the Lord continue to be unexplainable. As a surprise, a mutual friend organized a parade of love past her house. Word got out quickly and in just 2 days notice we had over 250 cars qued up in the school close by to parade by her house. It was led by the local fire truck and our pastor followed behind to begin the parade with a prayer for their family. We all had signs and decorated our cars to show our love for this precious family. This was the kids' first outing since March 13 so they were thrilled to participate and show some love for their friends, the Mahaffeys.
We're praying for you Amy!!!
