Ouch

The kids were outside on their “vehicles” and Peanut had a big spill off his bike and landed on his face. When he came in crying, he had blood and white bits in his mouth, which I thought were his teeth. Fortunately, he was eating an apple when he fell.

His upper lip got an abrasion on the outside and a cut inside from his teeth. Luckily, he’s a touch little guy and was fine after the initial fall and bleeding.

He sort of ate his dinner and then fell asleep on the couch. Poor guy.

Cherry Picking

It’s been 2 months of Shelter-in-Place and the kids hadn’t left Alameda this entire time. We went on a special outing to Brentwood for some cherry picking. The farm we went to took appointments and when we arrived, it was nice and empty. We had rows and rows to ourselves and SO MANY CHERRIES to pick!

The kids had a great time and they were excited to bring home all the cherries for snacking.

This guy couldn’t wait and had his fair share of samples while were were picking.

We brought home 9 pounds of cherries and we were done by 9:30 when it started to rain.

We also stopped at 99 Ranch on the way home and waited in the car while Dada shopped.We had some cherries and also walked to the donut shop next door to pick up some treats.

Peanut fell asleep with the donut in his hand on our drive home.

Siblings

Having a sibling has so many benefits. During this crazy shelter-in-place (almost two months), they keep each other company. Today, they set up camp in the garage, played all day, and had lunch together.

They may have separate rooms but somehow they still end up together at night too.

Kindle!

Janie’s birthday gift from Mama and Dada finally arrived in the mail today. She was so excited to receive her very own Kindle reader. It came with a kid’s subscription to their library so she can read whatever they have available.

I don’t usually get this response from her when I buy her other gifts. I finally picked a winner.

She couldn’t wait to get reading and invited Peanut to sleep with her tonight.
