Life during a Pandemic


Maggie is back! I am pretty sure that I am taking over the blog, so most of the post will be written by me! Anyways, let’s get to the post.


As we all know, we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. We have been social distancing since the middle of March. Stores have been closed to the public, school was delayed then cancelled, and piano lessons became digital. So, with everything being closed and with nothing to do, we have had to get creative. We have had a couple themed “parties” to break up the boredom. They have been lots of fun!
Here is Star Wars night, when we had lots of snacks and watched The Rise Of Skywalker.

One night we did Karaoke since everyone was tired of movies. The expressionless dancing banana was great!

We had a fun Harry Potter weekend, and finished the last movie at Midnight!

Other then theme nights, we have bought new things and activities to use for fun.

We got a gymnastics mat


New swing #1

New swing #2
And new piano books 
And even in these times when we are all apart and can’t gather as a family, we still manage to stay connected through FaceTime, Zoom, and messaging.

Maggie's Post

Hello! I am Leslie's daughter Maggie, and I am writing this blog post with no help! Right now, I am 12 years old and I am in middle school. My favorite class is choir. I am going to blog about random stuff.

Birthday

For my twelfth birthday, I wanted to go swimming. Even though some people may say swimming in December isn't possible, it is when you rent a hotel room. So for my birthday, Aunt Jamie baked my cake and we had Chipotle for lunch. After the presents and talking we went swimming. While we were swimming Mimi and Poppy left. We had so much fun at the party.

Camping

I just love camping. When you go camping, you can do whatever you want. You can play baseball, walk the dog, eat cookies,  AND watch Judge Judy with Poppy. I did all of that at our last camping trip over spring break. It was SO much fun. We even got to go down to the lake and skip rocks! The only sad thing about the camping trip was that Aunt B's dog Hoss passed away while we were camping. I was really sad to see him go, but I know he is in a better place now. 🙂

Best Friends 

I have 6 best friends at school. Their names are Amaya, Ashley, Adamari, Leah, Audrey, and Kenneth. They are so awesome and I love them.

Well, this is the end of my first blog post with no help. I hope you enjoyed it! 😊

5 years later....

For family home evening tonight, I decided to teach the girls how to blog.  We make so many memories and want to share them with those we love. The girls and I are going to share some of our best memories from the last few years.

Maggie's Memory.
My memory is when my twin cousins came to stay the night while Sophie went to Ohio. At first, I was a little annoyed because the girls kept talking about how the missed Sophie and their mom, but then they lightened up and started playing and it was really fun.  Aunt Jamie sent some crafts and one of them was mermaids on popsicle sticks.  We made a performance about "The 3 Little Mermaids and the Big Bad Mermaid". Enjoy the show!




Sophie's Memory:
I want to share about my 7th birthday. My cake was cool because it had Dory on it and purple shells made out of chocolate.


First, we went to go see the movie, "Finding Dory".  Me, Sophia, Samantha, Maggie, Mom, Poppy and Mimi all went to the movie.







After the movie, we went to the water park with my dad and cousins.  Playing at the water park is one of my favorite things to do.







Leslie's Memory:
Its hard to pick just one memory from the past 5 years.  Instead, I will share some of my favorite pictures showing how much my girls have grown.
