How We Isolate

 We are not fully quarantined, and don't have strict stay-at-home policies. We do have strict stay-away-from-people polices that we adhere to to varying degrees.
Since we are not allowed to minister to people in person, we made a bunch of ridiculous poster-boards for families in the Branch.  They were a lot of fun to make, but the kids were skeptical when I said we were going to drive to their houses, run up to their windows, tape them on, and run away.  I said it wasn't suppose to be covert, since we HAD signed our name on it; it was just suppose to be fun.  And it was!

Sometimes, having 6 people in the house got to be a bit much (Dan is working from home most days now).  Callie took a break and went outside in the rain to read her book on the swing for a bit. Yes, that homemade swing they created!

I had a dental check up and they let me come in for it (they won't do any work or cleaning, but they will do a look-see).  I giggled at the socially distanced chairs in the waiting room.  And I was grateful they let me keep the appointment.  (No cavities!)  

The girls steal my phone and I find all kinds of odd things on it.

Rylee had an assignment to make an instrument for her music class, and she crated this drum set.  And then it got played.... and played....

We made masks.  Lots of face masks.  All Marines are required to wear them and families as well.  So we sewed about 50 for other people, and we are still sewing.

The girls wanted to have a cupcake decorating contest.

So they made some sweet concoctions.

I was impressed by their ingenuity!

They were very clever and creative.
