We Survived Quarantine!

 Days 6-10:

        The kids were struggling with finding things to occupy their time throughout this "staying in period of time" so I gave them each a sheet of bubble wrap.  Their reactions varied but all were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed popping all of the bubbles.  ALL OF THEM! I banned them from entering my room if they had bubble wrap in their hands LOL (saving my sanity is important too)! 

        Chris was called away on business again, so he packed up his few belongings from the camper and hit the road.  He was supposed to return on Friday, but his trip was extended until Wednesday, so he wasn't home to celebrate the end of our quarantine, or enjoy the "moving back inside the house" in person. Poor guy - BUT, we're excited to see him and actually hug him and enjoy being around him again when he does get home in a couple days.

        We tested everyone in the household yesterday and all tests were NEGATIVE!  WOOT WOOT!! There was much rejoicing!  There are still a few sniffles here and there among us, however, we all feel much better that we did before.  Aralynn is just starting to get her sense of smell back, poor girl was beginning to wonder if it would ever return haha. She can only catch hints of smells, so it isn't fully back yet, but some is better than none in this case! She's very happy about this.

        Nothing too eventful happened during our quarantine (aside from that first dreadful day), so we're very grateful for that fact.  We have had some wonderful people stop by with groceries, dinners, treats, and "thinking of you" gifts and it has helped more than one could imagine.  We miss human interaction and can't wait to get back to school and the normalcies of life. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers <3
