Day 11- March 26, 2020


Our finished door project!

We all slept in today.  I was up late talking to some of my students (whom I miss dearly) about their lives.  It is so hard not seeing and talking to them daily.  I feel like when we go back it will be like starting over again.  I'm just glad that they are doing well and are safe. 

I woke up to a little dude sleeping on the floor next to my air mattress.  Brad had a slight cough before bed but no fever.  We did our usual essential oil treatments and upped his vitamins.  He's bouncing off the walls today and doing well.  This virus has ruined my usual "it's just a cold" mentality.  He only coughed once today and felt fine.  We are extra careful though and now Grandma can't come over for awhile to be safe.  I will be glad when it's warmer and we can sit on Mom's porch at a safe distance if this is still going on and at least see her more.  I'll say it... I hate COVID-19. 

On a happy note, today was make a mess day!  Literally.... the house was a disaster!  A few of the neighbors are doing the hearts in the window road trip for the kids so we decorated our windows.  Brad and Mia cut out hearts and wrote all the kids' names on them from our little neighborhood group.  This was a great activity for us.  Brad hates writing so this gave him the chance to do something fun and for him to practice handwriting.  Win/Win for everyone!
Brad working hard to spell the Phanor kids names.

Mia cut hearts as well, but I showed her how to make stained glass windows with paint and tape.  She spent most of the morning designing hers and figuring out how she wanted it.  If you want to do it at your house, all you need is painters tape, acrylic paint, and dish soap.  Pretty easy and it wasn't that messy to clean up.  Now, I'll let you know after Easter how easy it is to get off the windows.  😜

Paint recipe-  3 tablespoon acrylic paint to 1 tablespoon dish soap
Or any 3:1 ratio.

The comedy of the day was giving our youngest golden-doodle (yes...we have two) a haircut and bath.  We don't have hair cuts scheduled until the end of May and with the musical.... lets just say Lucy hasn't seen the glimmer of scissors in a looooooong time.  I don't have clippers but I watched a few "how to" videos to at least trim her up with scissors.  Oy vey!  By the time we finished, my kitchen and bathroom looked like a dog bomb went off.  Those of my snapchat friends that received the video... you're welcome!  It took me 3 flipping hours to cut this dogs hair with my dog clipping scissors.  By the time I finished, I was COVERED in hair.  Brad was running around in his underwear chasing the wet dog to get her back in the bathroom, Mia was complaining about having to help,  while piles of dog hair are sliding and falling all over my house.  I almost slipped and fell on a pile chasing the dog because it fell off the table.  The best part was Mavis (the other doodle) kept staring at me like, "hell no, you are not cutting my hair."  She refused to come in the bathroom when I was in there with Lucy.  She just stood at the door staring at us.  I get it Mavis... I'll stick to teaching.
Hair-Apocalypse

Lucy-  See, it's not that bad!  Mavis in the back not making eye contact.

Overall, today was eventful in humor, which I needed.  Happy Thursday!   
Love- The Ruley Family
