My Once Upon a Time...

For the last two years, we've done our annual Egg Smash with our friends. I was really looking forward to it for a couple of months, but then Covid-19 hit and you know the rest. I love how those canvases turn out and we always hang them in Fox's bathroom, so even though we weren't able to meet up with our friends, it didn't stop us from smashing some eggs at home. Ready, set, go! I remember telling Kristy last year, that Finn would be able to smash his own eggs this year, but since I know my kid and didn't want him to eat the paint, I decided to wait another year to let him try it out. He was very interested in what was going on though. Now that I look at these pictures, I wonder if Finn would even like doing this, because he hates to get dirty. We shall see! Fox on the other hand, doesn't mind one bit. Look at that face! He agreed with me that it wasn't as much fun as it would have been with friends, ...

Oh April...I don't miss you one single bit! Homeschooling was an absolute nightmare. I'm sure many of you can relate. The thought of them not going back to school come August is terrifying to me. But then there were moments like this, when Fox had to write an essay and my heart just melted. I miss those days where we could play in the yard...it's so hot now! Finn walked over to our neighbor's yard and thought it was a good idea to take a seat in their planter...turned out it was not.  That's one of the sweetest smiles I've ever captured! Finn got a water table for Easter and it has been the best outdoor entertainment. Cheap entertainment: washing cars in the driveway. I haven't done this in decades and while it was fun while it lasted, I realized why I won't be doing this again in the near future. He is the messiest eater ever. He had just had a bath, I turn around for a minute and he has this huge blob...
