Our weird spring break!

We have had a weird Spring break last week. Since the city, county, state, and country are pretty much locked down because of the Coronavirus, our plans for the break changed. I wanted to take the kids to a few local museums, but that was nixed. We saw my parents several times since they came back from Arizona for 2 months. When they came back home, their refrigerator had quit working. We went there on Monday to say hello and hang out. It was really stinky! Caleb helped my dad double-bag everything in their freezer (all spoiled food) and put it into their trash can. They ended up getting a new fridge on Wednesday. YUCK!

 On Tuesday was Rebekah's 21st birthday! We had a small family brunch at our home, where she had her green pancakes (and Spam) on the red plate. We also had mimosas! I can't believe my baby is 21! How did that happen?! We sure love our bubbly, smart, musical and beautiful girl!

 In the afternoon, we went disc golfing at a more rural disc golf course. Caleb and my hubby started on their own, and the girls and I joined him for the last 3 holes. It was fun to get out of the house and play! After we finished the course, we hiked for 1/2 hour too.

 It was sunny on the camera when I took the picture, excuse the edge of my finger!

 We bought a new game called "Llamas unleashed" and played it several times. We also played lots of other games, including Dominion, Sorry, Ticket to Ride, Password (word association game), Tripoly, and pick-up sticks!
We also cleaned out Bethany's dresser and closet on Thursday, since it really needed it! On Friday, we helped my mom put away her snow village and got out of the house for a few hours. We've washed our hands A LOT!

 We made a yummy chocolate lava cake dessert in the Instant pot one night too!

 On Saturday morning, the kids made waffles and brought them to us in bed!
 
We made a delicious garlic chicken recipe in our Instant Pot on Saturday night... the sauce was super yummy!

On Sunday, we had church at home for the first time. We watched a video of our pastor and sang several songs that went along with the message, and were encouraged! Our music sounded great since our worship pastor lives here. 😁

What about you? What did you do on your Spring Break this year? Anything different or creative to share? I'd love to hear all about it!


A few verses that I have been enjoying lately...

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
