March updates

I get to start working from home.

Kaitlyn builds a fort in the dining room and she has been sleeping in this fort

Yesterday - March 26th was supposed to be Hailey's confirmation - it has been postponed

Family bonding

Well, the staying home has some advantages - we have had game night overnight and the girls do random stuff together

 Headbandz - the game of the night

 Dancing

 Playing volleyball together

Doing tiktok videos together

Newspaper

Both girls made the lombardian - the local paper

E-Learning

E-Learning has begun

March 13, 2020

Kids were sent home with their workbooks, chrome books and other things in preparation for e-learning.  We were told school would be done remotely starting March 16, 2020.

I am still going to work at this point.  UPS is an essential business and I need to go to work.  Kris' travel has been cancelled and he will work from home.  They have closed his offices as well.

Post Championship for Maddie

Basketball season has come to an end

The girls crushed some basketball this weekend.

 Getting her medal

 The girls favorite fans made it a 3 peat and made it to all their games

 Such a great team -5 of them have been on the team all 4 years - getting 2nd in 5th grade and 1st in 6th, 7th, and 8th.  They are a force!

 Crowd was waiting with color bombs and silly string - we were behind them

We met at Jamba for a final Jamba Juice to celebrate their win but was chilly so they all piled in one car while the parents talked outside.

Cookie fun

Made some cookies for Maddie's team to give to some other teams at Chicago Elite

 Kris had the final of his poker tournament at our house and these were the cookies I made for that
