This past week many things have opened up in Texas. You can pretty much go anywhere , but with major restrictions. Unfortunately, gyms, sports programs, and summer camps are NOT among them. In fact, the girls aerial gym has decided not to try opening until mid June at the earliest and will only have 3 classes a day at half capacity. It was hard enough to get the girls into a class with a limit of 12. I can't even imagine how hard it will be to get them into a class of 6 only offered once a week! My poor kids really miss seeing their friends, but it looks like this next summer and probably fall, we won't be able to see much of them. Even though most things are starting to open and we have been anxiously awaiting the ability to get out, we did not go anywhere this week.
D and I spent the weekend adding an overhang to the barn so that the horses can have shade, but still feel the breeze. Ok, D built the overhang with T's help and I played with and took cute pictures of all the baby bunnies that have moved into the barn. D calls it a bunny brothel and would like to get rid of it before it attracts predators, but they were actually pretty smart. By building their nests along the wall, the baby bunnies stay dry and the horses can't walk on them. Also, if any predator gets into the barn the horses will chase it down. We have had several sets of bunnies out there recently in all different stages of development, from a day to a few weeks. They are all so cute! After I spent the whole day uncovering nests and taking pictures mama bunny moved most of them the next day, but after last night's storms they are starting to return to their dry nests. Some people don't know, but mama bunnies only visit the babies at night so they do not draw a predators attention to their babies. They come back at dark to feed and take care of them. Our newest mama lives under the shed and is actually pretty tame around humans. She will follow us around while we work outside...as long as Maisy is in the house.

| D starts building the shade shelter...I am the official picture taker. |
 |
| T helps too. Underneath the white hay trough is the "Bunny Brothel". |
 |
| And they are sooooo cute! There was about 5-6 in this nest. |
 |
| And the one little curious rogue. |
The kids had school this week. The girls are doubling and tripling up on their schoolwork so they can finish up before June. T could careless about finishing early and just does whatever that day's work is. He went to go get his spacers on this week and next week he gets his top braces. They will add his lower braces at a later date.
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. The kids made me breakfast, picked flowers, and made wonderful cards. T even put on an Elvis concert acapella, complete with costume. It was a lot of fun.
 |
| Guess who made this card? |
 |
| L and A made this card and also jointly made breakfast. |
 |
| T provided the entertainment! |
 |
| He spent his allowance he saved on his costume and loves it. Now he is saving for the matching cape! I see a lot of summer concerts in our future. |
 |
| I have enacted an at least one day, maybe two day, a week ban on ALL electronics. We started reading the first Harry Potter book outloud this week. |
 |
| Going to the Doctor is very interesting now. The have a station set up to take your temperature and provide a face covering if you do not have one before you are allowed to enter. |
 |
| Once inside the waiting room chairs have been cleared out and you stand on a space until you are called. |
