Weather forecast says 73 and Tuesday! What are your outside plans? ETA: Within social distance guidelines. Because apparently my post might suggest otherwise!

Well. being shelter in place just like the last 2/3 weeks. Not being an asshat. trying to flatten the curve by not bombarding the general population. I mean what is there really to do other than hangout outside in your yard?

Yup, I didn’t feel the need to have to explain that we aren’t going to the beach? I meant how is everyone celebrating the nice weather outside. Sheesh!

I think social distancing is making some people a tad bit cranky. I’m giving everyone a pass!

oooh now that is a good idea! Not for my family though because they couldn’t handle it but I used to pitch a tent in my childhood home all the time. And then my sister would ditch me in the middle of the night

I can’t see that far ahead to the future but we’ll most likely limit e-learning to the morning and stay outside the rest of the day. Maybe have a picnic?

Oh yeah I look forward to the future as well. Taking things day by day at the moment though-we were supposed to go to Italy the day after Easter for a friend’s wedding(now cancelled). Bought our airfare and booked our hotels last summer. So much for planning. but I did have fun making an itinerary, researching hotels, and reading up on places to eat/things to do in Rome. Now I’m looking forward to living another day with my family.

What is "ice excavating"

by

@
gyrostatic7
you freeze things in ice and then kids use droppers (or squeeze bottles) filled with warm water to melt the ice and get the things out. I’m doing tiny rubber duckies frozen in egg shaped ice so they can help “hatch the baby ducks” as kind of an Easter themed activity.

balloons. You inflate the balloon a little and hold it for about 30 seconds to stretch it a little. Then let the air out and shove your items inside (this may be a two person job). Then you fill the balloon with water until it’s the size you want. Tie it and freeze it. Then when you are ready for the activity you can just cut the balloon right off.

So many great suggestions, as for me, I might pick up my old bike hangin in my parents' garage and take the kiddos on their first family bike ride since ditching the bike trailer. I anticipate this being a complete failure with 1 kid riding 2 wheels and 2 kids on training wheels. Probably easier to walk. but you know #momgoals #niceweathergoals
