Mother's Day

This year's Mother's day was different than any other. 

I saw that the church had ideas for gifts and one of them was to reenact a favorite childhood memory and send it to your mother. 

Travis let his siblings know what we were doing and before we knew it, everyone had created a video representing the moments we've laughed over, teased about, and that their mom lived through from their childhoods. 

Acting them out was one type of fun. The viewing party was another. We died as we watched the videos over and over and over. 

This will definitely become a tradition, and ideas for Father's day are already in the works. 

Other than that, life is the same.

I watched the Maze Runner series and then
bawled my eyes out when it ended...
... I'm still not over the ending 

genuine happiness to see her brother 

We take our social distancing very seriously around here 

They fight and push each other's buttons, but overall they are
best friends and I've enjoyed watching their friendship grow
these past months 

Friday Night Sleep overs!
Also they call this their "Military Bed
folding" way of doing it. 

She can hang shirts on hangers
now... my life may never be
the same!

Her favorite thing to do is stare out
this door whenever someone is outside
