barrett: 124 months old

 


Well, this kid unfortunately got taken down by Covid right at the beginning of the school year!  It was the first time either one of us had it, and luckily Barrett had really mild symptoms, more like allergies.  In fact, I only tested him because I was positive, and it was the Sunday night, and I wanted to make sure we didn't accidentally send any infected kids into school the next day.  He handled his quarantine like a champ, and while excited the first day (home from school!  doesn't actually feel sick!), but the second day the novelty had worn off and he was BORED.  The hubs and I were working from home that week (me still in quarantine as well) so we couldn't take him anywhere or do anything fun.  But we caught up on some Pokemon movies, he played way too much iPad, and we finally got our negative tests!

Barrett got to spend a night this weekend at a ranch for his friend's birthday party and he loved it!  They had goats and a horse, and Barrett even got to do archery, ride around on the 4-wheeler, and have a bonfire.  He came home dirty, tired, and full of fun stories.

Britton's first week of high school flew by in a swirl and learning a new school and meeting a ton of new people!  Now, she's 3 weeks in and knows her way around, and is used to getting up at 5:30 am.  Me, I'm still adjusting to the new wake up time!  Britton is trying out for softball this year, so she's in the softball gym class, and is staying after twice a week for running and weights.  She's also started the new season of her rec league softball team, and has practice 3 times per week.  Add to that homework and National Charity League commitments, and this girl is BUSY!  She's on top of it, and keeps track of all her goings on on her own - I am constantly amazed at how organized she is.  


Likes:  playing Roblox Fairy Tycoon, leggings, finally getting to read assigned books in English

Dislikes:  running in the morning - she'd much rather run in the evening
