It's spring break in our house. We were supposed to be in Michigan. The plan was to take my mom and go up yesterday, visit the Henry Ford Museum, and come back today. It was going to be a long day, but it was going to work for the best.
Obviously though, that isn't happening. Right after my grandmother died, my mother mentioned there was really no way she would be up for the trip. The trip itself would've been trying for her, not to mention the preparing for it and dealing with the dogs. The two people who used to watch the dog are Aunt Cathy and G.G., so obviously that's not an option. Once the virus all broke loose, we decided we weren't going either. Maybe this can be made up somewhere along the way, but we'll just have to see.
We've had a really nice couple of days. Monday evening was a family game of Yahtzee, and last night we had a family game of wii bowling. We've been having decent meals together, and everyone has been good about pitching in with either the cooking or cleaning.
Yesterday we spent our day cleaning out our attached garage. This was a major goal we had, especially once the "at home" orders began to exist. We have a ping-pong table and a couch in there. When the room is cleaned and usable, it gives us almost an extra room this time of year, and it also gives us another activity to do. There is also a dart board in there. It's been great!
Tonight, Catherine and I are having a "girl's night". We obviously aren't leaving the house, but I am going to spend the evening watching one of my favorite movies with her. I have always loved Steel Magnolias, but it always makes me sob. It's even worse since I became a parent. I want to share this with her though. so she and I are going to move a TV into her room and keep the boys out. I think they will be watching some action adventure movie in which I have no interest.
Today is a gorgeous day, and we are trying to take advantage of being outdoors a bit!
