Peabody Variety Show 2020

 A milestone of 6th grade at Peabody is you are eligible to be the hosts of the variety show. Somehow we pulled off a remote hosting gig. 🤷‍♀️ 

Random April Photos

Cozy Lolly. 

This was either a soccer workout, a baseball workout or school PE.

A family zoom!

Thatcher with the wig. 😂

Remember Zoom backgrounds...

 Everyone looks a little a bored. And yes, my keyboard is a wreck!

Communication is great over Zoom. 🤔🤪

Wave check.

School at home meant I got to see how Thatcher's math brain works. 🤔

More cozy Lolly. She loved having us home all the time.

Living his best life having a martini at "school" 😂

The pandemic definitely brought out the kid's creativity. 

Lolly wasn't so sure about golf in the house.

This was also the start of our family golfing together on "real" courses. It's so fun!

Cozy Lolly again.

It's funny to see Lolly with teeth! I think she only had two teeth at this point. 🤣

The unboxing of my Crown & Paw portrait. 

I began to walk and walk and walk during the pandemic and I discovered so many random things in Santa Barbara including this lady.

Sometimes her hat would be like this. 

Cute Fiona in a tree. Shoreline became everyone's backyard more than ever.

Thatch would often accompany me on my walks on some form of wheels.

Tween cards are the sweetest but so sad during the pandemic.

Our neighbor Cathy was battling cancer so our street came together to give her some entertainment to cheer her up. 

School check. Making sure he was "in" class.

Check out what Thatcher did each day. 😂  

Our first drive-by birthday. Not our last....

The dogs realizing they aren't getting out of the car. They are pissed. What the hell kind of celebration is this?!

Thatcher's pandemic fashion was interesting.

He wore these things. A lot. 

Bumping into friends on school breaks. 

Fort making!

These two became so close. Forced to hang out with each other! 

Lolly's "hair-do"

Walking and finding new views I love. 

Lining up some intense reading. 

With Lolly. 😊

Sam's cooking was still going strong. 

Sprucing up our patio area for spring. 

2020 marked where my "listing" began. This is a short one but it began to evolve....

And my calendaring got more intense. A lot of sports crossed out and replaced with zooms.....

I tracked everything! 

A walk-by birthday for Levi.

Cozy lolly with all her toys. 

The sweetest cards from Dancing Grandma.

Lolly loves my "fireplace"

Recess.

Having a snack socially distanced 🤔

Zoom piano lessons continued with sending images to Gus of what page the kids were on.

The kids surfed more in 2020 than any other year to date. Golfing and surfing were the only things to do. 

Mask making. 

Finding all sorts of places to read.

Thatcher's hair was quite a thing. I think haircuts stopped too. 

A neighbor baked us bread. Remember all the bread baking going on!?

Lolly hoping for some bread.

Siblings.

Still closing all my rings.

Pandemic Lounging. 

More surfing.

Realizing grocery shopping was a huge production with waiting in line, food limits and a mask.

Tacos.

Quarantining. 

Finally doing the 23 and Me test that had been collecting dust for the past year. 

Going stir crazy.

Couch Lolly.

April Showers.

Lolly hates her rain coat but it is so cute!

New beach towels from the Robinson grandparents. 

Outdoor happy hours. 

Keeping Lolly cool.

More cooking.

These look like a bit of a fail. 

Had to keep Thatcher on schedule. 

Todd and bleach. 🤷‍♀️

School.

Getting "together" with friends. 

Sweet Otis.

Lolly at Leds!

School would get out to early and this is all they did. 

Off to another drive-by birthday party...

This time for Kaya! 

Leds got more and more crowded each day.

Spring weather is the best!

Mini boarding. 

We'd be the last ones to leave!

Dinner time!

Sam made her own schedule.

And she kept checking off her goals. 

A "just because" gift from my friend Bess. 💜

Indoor smores. 

Texts during remote school.

Thatcher would try all different places to focus during school. Outdoors seemed to be the best! 

I'd walk around the corner often to make sure everyone was still above water...

Sofia back from college because who wants to zoom from a dorm room?!

Back from a late night surf session trying to come in all wet. 

Breakfast outside in their robes.

Todd was surfing as much as the kids were.

Lolly in her car bed.

more surfing.

23 and Me results put me at 19% Lebanese so I began to embrace my culture! 

Beach cottage patio issues.

Backyard picnic. All 3 of them. 

Silly Lolly.

😴

Sleepyheads

Lollipop with all her toys.

More surfing than school in April 2020.

Last but certainly not least, this video.
