Spring Break 2020!

3:00 Friday afternoon, It's Spring Break!

Shane is out shooting hoops all by himself while I'm gardening.   Then I hear, "Mom, I just hurt my ankle."  He couldn't put weight on it.  He said he went up for a rebound, came down normal and heard a POP!

Here we are at Kaiser getting an X-Ray.  I know it wasn't the smartest place to go during Corona Virus.  You hear about it on the news, but to see a hospital first hand, security guards everywhere, taking our temperature, wearing name tags, very few people,  it was just surreal.  (kind of glad we got to experience that) -thx Shane

 I may have gotten yelled at for taking this picture, I guess i didn't see the sign that said no pictures or videos.  Kaiser was great, i got on the phone with a doctor, asked for an X-ray, drove to get an X-ray and then a phone appointment 20 minutes later to read the X-ray.   All said and done in 45 minutes!  Good news, just a torn ligament

Shane will be playing a lot of video games and icing for spring break.

The next day...........

Only Shane could do this.  He left the ice pack on his foot for so long while playing video games that he got frostbite.  So now, insult to injury or  injury to injury!  Good news is, his foot has nerve damage and he can't feel the ligament pain anymore

Papu's words of wisdom to Shane- Hope your foot thaws!

Scene of the crime from injury #2 for Shane, playing video games.

We were suppose to be in Hawaii for 10 days, but this comes close, right?

hours before Shane decided to play extreme basketball with himself

 Hailey must spend an hour on the trampoline everyday.  Her backflips are so graceful

When nature calls

 We hang out in the backyard a lot and the cat likes to observe and join us, sort of

 gardeners mowing

 One chicken is trying to roost on the 4 eggs while the other is trying to lay an egg

 Hailey's soccer team is having a 2 day contest with who can juggle the most, you must have it on videotape.  Her record was 41 prior to this contest.  I started doing it too, of course!  I got to 79 and told her if she doesn't get higher than that I am submitting my video to her coach.  3 hours later and Super Motivated, she got to 82.  Then she said that she was going to get to 100 and she wouldn't let herself go to bed until she does so.  2 hours later she got 127!  Then i told her my all time record is 153.  She spent another hour trying and got 148.  Then the sun went down.  

Hailey won the contest with 148 juggles and a $15 Amazon gift card.  She was so happy she didn't give up because 2nd place was only 12 juggles less than hers.

Corona

Some scenes during our first 2 weeks of My Corona

 - it's the new freshman 15, try not to gain 19 pounds while on self quarantine

Free workouts on the cliffs, Hailey and I went with some friends

 The new barber in town

 Hanging out 6 ft away

 I created a group text with the 7 families that we go camping with. I told each family to post one picture of the day (POTD) and share it with everyone.  It has been the best thing ever!  We are laughing throughout the day while still feeling connected.  Some families have really gotten into it.

Here is one of our friend's  POTD-

I don't think we have ever eaten this many meals in a row, together!

 child labor of love

 Shane sang and danced throughout the yard work

Day 1 of the kids doing online school.  They both said they'd rather be in the classroom.   All the fun stuff that they enjoy about school, is gone!

 The only benefit I have seen in being at home is that they both check email daily which was considered a Boomer thing to do.  Since they are being taught in so many different interfaces, with the teachers all doing something a little different, they have to check.
Neither one of them has needed to ask for help, so my life is pretty much the same, uninvolved with school.

One of our POTD- The dude with a mask on, riding the zipline

Bday

 What do you do on your birthday when you are on self quarantine?  Try on your wedding dress and act like a Queen for the day.  The kids thought i was truly losing my mind, crazy thing is, i wasn't!

And then Hailey asked to try it on!  She said it was way too heavy!

 Meanwhile, Jesse was prepping his gun to get rid of our pesky squirrel

We all went for a bike ride to Manhattan Beach

 We came home to Angelina and Cienna's homemade birthday treats sitting at our doorstep!  Don't tell the kids i had 2 before dinner, they were to die for

Celebrated my birthday 2020 Style with Peppa the Pig!  We played dictionary, don't ask who won!

It ended up being a Terreiculous Day!

Danons

The Danon's had us over for a Birthday dinner

 these 4 are a comedy act, legit funny stuff comes out when they are together

 Jaime remembered that we had carrot cake at our wedding and got me one for my birthday

 playing doctor, shooting water into my ears.  Not sure what to think of it

 my new toy, thanks Danons for a fun night

Challenges

There's a soccer trick/skill that's called around the world that I tried to do.  I did, after lots of fails and then decided to tape myself and challenge the kids.

Both kids were out in the yard for hours doing it and then coming up with new challenges.  Hailey would send her videos to her friends and told them to send a video back of them doing the tricks

I was so impressed with Shane's soccer skills as he hasn't kicked a ball in 4 years.  He created his own challenge that looked like this.  I tried for a 1/2 hour to do it and just about killed myself, i never was able to do it.  I blame my short legs

That feeling when you did it!  -you can juggle like your mom

Moto time and Gardens

Jesse took Hailey to go ride with Derek and Hudson

 Hailey on her quad

 Don't get hurt!

While they did that, a bunch of us went to the Botanical Gardens to hang out.  The Timms and Agonias know how to have a good time, we were there for 2 hours practicing social distancing!

LAFC

Little did we know this would be our 2nd and last LAFC game for a long time.  We make Shane drive us everywhere now!
