Scenes from Summer



Simon remains to be a particular little guy, especially around mealtimes.  He has his own method of communication with signing, grunts, and head shakes and gets very perturbed if you don't do what he's asking!  


Simon LOVES graham crackers...he grunts at me, walks over to the cabinet with the crackers, and reaches up, points, and begs until I give him one.  He then likes to eat 50 percent of it, and smash the remainder into the couch cushions.  


Look at those adorable curls!!


Governor Evers issued a mandatory mask order, requiring masks to be worn inside all buildings and outside when social distancing is not possible.  This has been met with severe opposition from the "anti-maskers," who have somehow turned this public health crisis into a political statement.  Apparently, it is an infringement upon their constitutional rights to have to wear a mask that could protect others when in close proximity.  It is appalling that our society has politicized common courtesy and that by wearing a mask when I go places, I am risking harassment and name calling by people on the other side.  This pandemic has caused so much stress, anxiety, and chaos.  It is so discouraging sometimes.


Simon likes to be on the go! Here he was having a tantrum because he wanted to go on a car ride.


Some of the signage that is around many stores right now.  We are also facing a national coin shortage and some stores are requiring payment with exact change, credit card, or check only.


Squishy is all dressed up and ready for bed!


It's Harry Potter's birthday!  We celebrated with Harry Potter themed drinks...Dragon's Blood (raspberry and dragon fruit Italian soda) and the Drink Who Must Not be Named for mom.





Olivia LOVES to make cookies.  We made Aunt Jackie's chocolate chip cookie recipe.


Apparently, Dove chocolate didn't get the memo about COVID-19.




Simon's dairy trial did not go well.  We tried some macaroni and cheese for lunch today, and while he enjoyed it, he was up most of the night with an upset tummy.  We'll let his digestive system grow and mature a little more before we try again.
