We celebrated Easter today. We stayed up very late and woke up very early. Growing up, my parents would get us Easter baskets and we would wake up with a jelly bean trail from our bed Tom our basket. So we have been doing that with our kids. We couldn’t find jelly beans here andContinue reading “Day 88”

Today we swept and mopped the entire house. The kids had a pretty good attitude about it all. The mop water wasn’t as dirty as it was a week ago. We had pop tarts for breakfast, and after cleaning we had Bonnie’s favorite comfort food. Tomato soup and tuna sandwiches. I did not grow upContinue reading “Day 87”

Happy Good Friday all. That’s it. I’m tired. Good night. Here’s a picture of a couple steaks I cooked tonight.

Today we started getting ready for Easter this Sunday. Bonnie brought a small table from the cabin for us to eat around for our own Last Supper we celebrated today. I made puff pastry for the very first time. I plan to make a lot of baked goods on Sunday. Since this is the firstContinue reading “Day 85”

Today was the same as the other days. While Bonnie was home schooling the kids downstairs in the “cabin” I set up the Roomba. It did a decent job in the afternoon. Tonight is the real test to see if it wakes the kids up when it’s set to go off at 3am, 1am yourContinue reading “Day 84”

I’ve picked up some clients these past few days and I’m not hiding the fact that I’m in another country, I did tell them we would not be meeting face to face during theContinue reading “Day 82”

Today is Palm Sunday. We celebrated by eating bacon and eggs, with blueberry eggo waffles. Afterwards we watched church on our computer. The first service was the church down the street. The second service we watched was from our home church in Castro Valley. After breakfast we put a couple loads of laundry away. ThisContinue reading “Day 81”

As bourgeois as this sounds, our housekeeper has not been to our house for three weeks. She would come twice a week and work for hours. We have neglected the house long enough, so we devoted today to cleaning the house. We swept and mopped every room. We cleaned out each child’s room, did aContinue reading “Day 80”

Today my wife decided that instead of doing a regular school day, it was a “fun Friday” as my children’s first grade teacher has every Friday. I ended up working all morning and into the afternoon. For dinner we have pork fajitas and almost 25% of the kids ate it.
