Today we stayed inside of course. The Mexican government is increasing shelter in place orders because of this virus. The kids had homeschool, I didn’t really work because I needed to get some plane tickets refunded so I took an Uber to the airport to do that. The airlines phones are constantly busy so that was the easiest way.
The kids have been doing really well entertaining themselves. It’s annoying at times because it’s hard to get their attention. Today the kids stacked up all the old plastic milk bottles and used a soccer ball as a bowling ball in our front room. It was really nice seeing them all get a long during their game.
I made spaghetti for dinner. My mom made really good spaghetti sauce when I was growing up. It was a mixture of certain ingredients and a jar of Paul Newman’s spaghetti sauce. We don’t have Paul Newman’s spaghetti sauce down here, just regular ingredients so I did my best. It didn’t taste like hers but the kids still loved it. She would put bay leaves in the sauce to give it a nice taste, one bay leaf per child so four in her sauce, and four in mine.
After dinner the kids got into the painters tape and child one and three taped their legs together. Child two and four did the same thing. As a parent of four kids, it was wonderful seeing them get along. The problem is they fight almost constantly, and at this age if they didn’t fight, we would let them get away with a little more of their shenanigans. The sky was an odd yellowish color right after a sudden thunder storm. So I had to get photos.
After dinner we put the kids to bed. I got photos of them in their weird sleep positions.
My daughter was still awake when the flash went off. I offered to close her window shade but she said she likes watching the trees at night. When I was her age this would have terrified me.
