Clean House

 The office/guest room looking good!

A clean master bedroom.

The bathroom looks shiny!

The hallway doesn't really take much cleaning, but I didn't want it feeling left out...

The kitchen is looking so clean I could eat off of it!

The dining room and, of course, our beautiful TV!

Diana's Birthday Grill Out

 Showing Grandpa some of his latest drawings.

Grandma waiting her turn to see Ledger's new comics.

Diana and her dad enjoying the sun and chatting.

Chilling on Grandpa Allen's porch, waiting for the cake!

Finally- here comes the cake!

Mama's Birthday

 looking good in her tiara!

Chowing down on that yummy cake!

A proud birthday girl!

Lawn Mowing Boy

 You got this, kid!

The task looks daunting from here, but I think he's got it.

destructors return!

Will all his force, Ledger knocks down the shed framework!

Wow, it looks so much better without that rotted out shed!

yard work

We even cleaned out the fire pit and tried to build a new one.

It worked!  We got the fire going!  Unfortunately it only lasted about 2 minutes before it fizzled out.  Oh well, we will try again later this spring!

One of the projects we've been doing during the quarantine is making cards for the elderly people who live in the nursing home around the block from us.  Ledger made a bunch of them and so we brought them over during our walk.

Here's how bad it looked before we did any work.

It looks a little better, huh?

Clean as a whistle!

Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the tulips...

Getting all settled in for our second family movie night.  This time it's Trolls: World Tour!

Our lil chef is at it again- this time we are trying pancakes!

Looks yummy- great job, chef Ledger!

Playing on the equipment while on a walk.  He wanted me to take a picture of his hair standing up!

The other side came down pretty easily.  Like I said, the whole thing was pretty rotted out!

Helping out with the hard work.

Only the bones left.  I think we'll save that for another day.

The before picture.  I had pulled down the back side of the plywood earlier in the week.

Ledger piling up the roofing panels.

One side complete!

So far so good!

surprise picnic

Our first arrow pointed to the front door.  There was then one at the door pointing for us to go outside.

We looked outside and saw another one pointing us to the garage, and one at the garage pointing us to the backyard...

And finally to the backyard where there was a special guest waiting for us- Ledger!  He had laid out a towel for us to sit on and he brought out a bunch of snacks for us to enjoy together, and he was even sitting on the towel holding a beautiful flower!  Oh how Diana's heart just melted!

We sat down and enjoyed a snack or two together.

What a pleased old daddy (forgive the quarantine beard...) who is proud of his thoughtful son!

busy during quarantine

 Here are a few examples of the work Ledger has been up to.  This isn't even a fraction of a percent of what he's been drawing!  This kid has blown through over 800 pages of comic panels!

 Rolly playing around with his wings!

 Yeah, I don't get this one either, but we certainly had a good laugh about it!

 This is one in a series titled 'Rolly puts his head in stuff'...

 Rolly goes out in the cold.

A little bug gets some super sugary drink.
