Spring Break 2020

Despite Coronavirus scares, we have had a wonderful Spring Break. 

Our church met today with lots of changes and at least half of the congregation staying home. I have not been able to find toilet paper. I usually buy in bulk, and we were at the end of the last purchase; but my neighbor is a major coupon-er, and she sold me some for normal price. We have all the other stuff that's been sold out, so hopefully the panic will settle down and TP will show up in stores again soon.

The schools around here are cancelled for a week (including our co-op), but we are going to keep homeschooling. We've got to do something to keep these kids busy around here!

Spring Break Roller Skating. 

Not terribly crowded and Harrison went out there by himself this time. 

Walking around Gruene, TX.

Okay, so I think Phoebe and I were the ones to enjoy this one the most. 

She had been wanting to go back to Gruene and spend time browsing the shops. It is really a beautiful place. We shared a plate of nachos, walked all around the touristy area, and went into a Lot of little shops.  

Phillip caught this picture of H and some of the neighbors. 

The boy to Harrison's left is a good friend of his. H told me the other day that the boy had a big imagination. He said, "I would like to have his imagination. Like, not what he imagines, but how big his imagination is." :-) They were drawing pictures the other day. Both drawing pictures of futuristic wars, and flags with Swastika-like symbols, and monsters and bombs. 


Phillip and I needed a picture for a homeschool bundle Flexible Homeschool App will be a part of. Liz is our go-to for pictures these days!


And lastly, Harrison entered a short story contest and won third prize! 
They'll be getting his picture and bio up soon, but you can find his story at Kids World Fun or read it here. We had been reading a lot about Fables, and he loves the ocean; his story is titled "The Crab and the Seashells."
Good work, Harrison!
