Pandemic Chronicles: Week Seven

Week Seven was April 26th - May 2nd. 

It has been 7 weeks. 7 weeks?! Crazy. 

We kicked off this week with our new normal Sunday morning: Mr.Pate at church and us at home doing PreK/K zoom class, online church and children’s church online. During our prayer I looked over and saw Griffin praying like this, which melted my heart. 




Sunday night we had a game night with our connect group on zoom. It was a blast. Our group has some pretty hilarious people, haha! 





Monday we hit the ground running with school at home once again. I have been really impressed with Grady’s math skills and it’s been super neat to have the opportunity to see him learning and growing so much. 


And Griffin continues to grow like a weed. I know he is still shorter than many kids his age, but everytime he puts on clothes they are too short once again, haha! 

The boys and I are reading The Chronicles of Narnia at bedtime (something Griffin and I did several years ago), and it’s so sweet to me. We finished The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, and Griffin took his AR test on it. These are my favorite books of all time. I pray they see the amazing symbolism and it makes them fall more in love with Jesus! 

We played some bocce ball several days this week. Longtime favorite of ours. If you don’t have this game, get it! It’s fun just for couples, but can also include all ages of kids just about! 


Gradys teacher showed up to their zoom with pink hair, so he had to be Joe Dirt. Haha! 



Griffin got into an organizing mood this week. He rearranged his desks, his bookshelves and purged toys without me asking. It was slightly annoying and pretty helpful! 
He decided to organize the legos by color, which was a big project but gave him something to do while he listened to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, haha! It looks great now. They have been very into creating with legos right now! 




My friend Brooke brought me some beautiful flowers as an early Mother’s Day present! How sweet?! 



We got a really fun new game! 



And we have been doing some reading. Grady is not real into slowing down and reading, so having reading time with him is super sweet! 



Saturday, we did a Scavenger Hunt with church. It was soooo fun! I will do a whole post on it soon. 




And did a walk/bike ride afterwards. What beautiful nights! 



Then Mr.Pate and I ended the night watching the Opry. We have loved these Opry shows on Saturday nights. This week took me down memory lane majorly! Misty and I used to sing To “Walkaway Joe” and “That Summer” with such passion. Oh sweet sweet memories. 



Happy May everyone! I hope you are all doing well and making the most of these unprecedented times.
