Broadway House Progress!

Debbie and Randy are renovating a house that they bought on Broadway--for Madison and Pablo to move into!  Randy was working on the walls and railing upstairs on this particular day.

 

The Day the World Changed...

We'd been warned: we had a time change on Sunday, and we were going to have a full moon on Friday the 13th.  I should've known the sh*% show that was about to begin when I followed these portapotties to work on Friday.

At the end of the day, the governor announced that due to the potential spread of Coronavirus, he was closing schools the following Tuesday.  Restaurants and bars closed.  Only essential services open.  At a meeting after school we learned that we'd be teaching remotely starting next week.  Wow.  Wow.  At that point we weren't up on mask-wearing or social-distancing, it was all new.  I remember watching the students at the end of the day Friday--Responsibility Recess--knowing that the governor was holding a press conference.  Little did I know that Monday wouldn't happen for our district (wrestling team exposed at a competition so there was extra caution in not going back) so that moment was the last I had with students in the classroom in the 2019-20 school year.

We weren't quite knowing all that was going to happen at this point.  I went home and took pictures of the boys' new haircuts and then we went to Debbie and Randy's to have a game night with Cassie.  We played an escape room game.  We'd find out later that night that Cassie decided to high-tail it back to HK before things started to shut down here.  Proper goodbyes lost!

Snow on March 13 on the way home.  Ominous foreshadowing?
 

While Josh was gone we had NO FUN.

...Well, maybe just a little fun...but not as much as he had at the farm!  What were we supposed to do?  Sit in the corner and twiddle our thumbs for two nights?

 Finding Dory with the V's!  (I think Joshy went with G'ma Joan!)

 Practicing our "dwumming" in the kitchen

Auntie Debbie and Uncle Randy came through before their big hiking trip...but they'll be back after!

 Got in trouble for jumping on the cushions

 had a flash flood?

And rejoiced when we had him back!  We met in Colfax and swapped kids!  Gracie's turn now!
