A Day in Our Life

A few snap shots of our life in social isolation here on Gael Glen Farm...

When you tell your kids to wash their hands a million times a day with handmade soap,
this is what greets you at the end of each day.

We get our school work done though I will be the first to admit that it can be a struggle.  Without a doubt,
the "patience" part of my brain is currently significantly larger than it has ever been before.  Ever.

Alistair is at his happiest when playing with anything that is not a "toy". 
Today he meticulously threaded the goldfish net through the hole of the
hamper handle for a half an hour.  Half.  An.  Hour.

He also spent a LONG time putting Seamus' sweater over his head
and spying on me out of the neck hole while I folded laundry.

He found this incredibly amusing.

When baking so much we are forced to get a little creative.

Today we used Easter treats to make cookies in a mini muffin tin.

This is proof that our creativity does not always pan out. 
We should have greased the muffin tin.

And finally...

We continue to be amused/bewildered by the crazy robin
that is STILL repeatedly bashing itself into our windows.

Over and over and over.

All day long.

I mean, really, what else is there to get up to all day?!  

At least by 7 pm, the kids are in bed and all that is left to do is tidy the living room, clean up the dinner dishes, finish folding and putting away the laundry, feed and put the farm animals to bed, and mentally prepare to get up again tomorrow and do it all over again.  On the bright side, everyone is healthy and they all sleep through the night.  Thank goodness for small miracles.
