Happy Blessed Easter in Quarantine!

Happy Easter from The Hollingsworth Family and Olivia!  We had a lovely Saturday filled with outside activities....Easter Sunday, not so much.  Lots of rain today but we are enjoying the day and watched Mass on TV at 7 this am to start our Easter Day.  


Our neighbors, The Beattys, gave us a cookie kit from Whimsy Cookies and we decorated them yesterday! Had a blast! 

We held numerous Easter Egg Hunts in the front and back yards yesterday and she had a blast...even Claire hunted a bit!

Claire's been golfing every day that the sun has been out, so that's been a great way to break up the monotony of the days!

The Easter Bunny found Olivia at our house! 



 Claire got a new bathing suit and necklace in rose gold...she loves her jewelry these days!
A very tired Jesse not ready to get up...but was a good sport...


Easter cards and a stuffed animal from Nana & Paw Paw!

Rainy days+ lots of time for dying Easter Eggs!


Puzzle time.....

Happy Blessed Easter!!

Jesse turns 19 in quarantine!

Well, as you all know I love to decorate for a party, but of course I was not really able to do so this year given the circumstances!  So, I dug old stuff out and did the best I could for Jesse!  Happy 19th Birthday Jesse!  We are so proud of the amazing young man you have become....sorry you need and haircut and that I do NOT know how to cut your hair.....



Of course Claire blinged out the sidewalk for him!


Reading birthday cards from family and friends!


Made by mom, decorated by Claire....


 Emily made Texas Sheet Cake brownies for Jesse!

Jesse received a car in January from us, so that was his Birthday gift, and about 10 other Christmas/Birthday gifts....however, the grandparents chipped in and got him an Alpine car stereo touch screen system that he and Lance spent all weekend successfully installing!  Way to go future engineer!  We love you!

Quarantine Queries.....

So when the weather is pretty around here, you will find us outside.  Olivia and Claire made a pretty sidewalk chalk mural for Annabelle and sent it to her....it seemed to cheer her up so that's good!


This is what homeschooling look likes for Olivia.  We do it 6 days a week.  She seems to thrive on routine and not do as well on the days where our schedule is different....so we do every day but Sunday around here...and she seems to really like the 1 on 1 learning experience.

Quail has shut down, so we use the golf course as our own personal track...and we love it!

Our neighbor's beutiful sidewalk art!  Love finding things like this on our walks!

This is how we social distance....

So, my quiet little organized house of 3 just a few weeks ago has become a bustling hub of activity fot 5!  I love my family and wonderful 5 year old cousin house-guest Olivia, but I promise you I have NEVER worked this hard in my life....I feel like my days consist of cooking, cleaning, playing, checking assignments, and doing it all over again....I am ready for days and days of beautiful weather so we at least leave this house more!!!

Claire is enjoying not wearing uniforms and playing golf in between classes....

 Jesse is figuring out programming and coding and lots else!



Claire watching her teacher....who also has 3 little ones at home...I feel sorry for her....

And sweet little Olivia is staying healthy and germ-free around here and has unlimited energy......

 Some days I take Claire to just putt at Quail Ridge and she finds others doing the same ....the next thing you know whe is having putting contests!


Claire swallowing a big pill here because she got schooled by Mr Robert in a putting contest....
 We've also taken the opportunuty to update Claire's room and she chose the new colors and furniture...I love it!


Stay safe and I will post again soon!
