Monday was Clare’s last day with us so we went to Fallon for a little bit of fun. We went to Los Gallos for lunch, it went okay for taking kids to a restaurant. Then we went to Fallon Walmart to pick out some fleece and went home and made fleece blankets. They didn’t have a lot of choices so Clare and I both made cabin vibe/camo patterned blankets. I made one for Mary that was pink with white bunnies on it. After that we made Oreo truffles like we used to in high school. You mix a package of crushed Oreos with a block of cream cheese then dip that in melted chocolate, easy and yummy. Mary yelled in frustration: oh biscuits!

Clare got on the road the next morning, before the girls woke up. I was kind of relieved to not have to clean or run errands or entertain someone so Mary and I took turns watching movies and I finished the Oreo truffles (Clare thankfully took 2/3 of them with her for her trip home). Mary watched Tinker bell and Spider-Man and I watched the first 3 twilight movies. I got a few Christmas cards addressed, so that was productive. Mary was sneezy and sniffly, so I'm glad we stayed inside and chilled today. Mary got up a few times, understandably, and Katie was overtired at 8 pm, also understandable. I was overstimulated with Mary crawling and jumping on me all day and constantly holding Katie. I love my girlies but I was looking forward to getting some space.

We had a playdate scheduled for Wednesday but Mary is still feeling sick, poor girl. I got both girls bathed and cleaned the house. It got pretty dirty yesterday while we were just relaxing and watching movies. I ran errands in the morning and I was grateful I did because I found out after getting home that a man had stabbed his adoptive parents and was on the run from the police. The schools were immediately put on lock down and there was a shelter in place order for Wednesday and Thursday.

We didn’t go to exercise class, Mary’s still feeling sick. I finished cleaning and put the laundry away. They caught the murderer right before we left to pick Paul up from the airport. Paul was excited to give Mary her jiggly puff toy. We’re glad to have him home safe and sound.

Friday Paul went to work though he could’ve used more sleep. I cleaned up the house and got us ready for the day. We watched movies and during one of them it was nighttime and Mary said, "It's dark. I need to go to bed." We were playing later and she was pretending to be upset and said, "that is it!"

Saturday we watched movies in the morning. We ran errands and I cleaned a little bit before putting Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. Mary got out of bed and cuddled with us until Katie fell asleep and then I put her back to bed.

Sunday we finished straightening up then drove to Paul's work so he could return Hiro's charger. We grabbed some groceries on the way home and pizza to have on Christmas day. We had the Roberts Christmas party via zoom and Mary sang "Let it Go" for the program, she did a great job! We watched some Christmas movies until bedtime.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
