After being cooped up all week, Peter decided to take the boys out on a hike yesterday. Just as he parked and the boys were getting out of the van, Silas--who hadn't gotten out of the van yet--vomited everywhere because he was carsick. Peter told the boys to wander around while he cleaned up the vomit with the only supplies he could find--a pair of scissors from the first aid kit and a water bottle. He used the scissors to cut the water bottle in half so that he could scoop the puke out of the van. Poor Peter. :(

Random "Insult" of the Week

Since there's nothing else to write about this week, I thought I'd record this insult that I overheard while the boys were "goat wrestling." Silas to Gideon: "You little philosopher with green bean toe nails!"

We just finished our two weeks of quarantine following our trip to London. Now we can go out in public--by which I mean go to the grocery store on occasion--while trying to stay six feet away from other humans. The boys are out of school and will be until at least May 1st so we've been trying to do their schoolwork online. It has not been fun. Since the boys can't play with friends or go anywhere, they've been entertaining themselves by "goat wrestling." (It's like regular wrestling. They just call it goat wrestling because it reminds them of the way goats run at each other and butt heads.) They have a great time, but it stresses their mamma out.
