Saturday...the weekend...everyday is really starting to feel the same. Yesterday was an especially long day. For not particular reason, it just felt really long. Our bodies are feeling all of the fence work too. Everything just hurts. Brandon is cycling through ice packs and pain meds. We did start with coffee and conversation and Brandon treated us to our last Dunkin Donuts. He swore them off two years ago when they got rid of their nut donuts (their best donuts, in his opinion) and in a moment of weakness he stopped there again after running to Menards, only to learn that they have also discontinued the chocolate filled, powdered sugar donuts. So he is officially done with the DD. The Paulis are no longer running on Dunkin.
We started painting the fence and then we had the marvelous surprise of back-up help. My parents showed up to help. We are very fortunate they they really seem to enjoy other people's projects. The kids were wonderful and they served us lunch outside. Painting in pairs with proper social distancing was a big win. We finished one side with a few hours to spare before the rain came. Elizabeth even lost a tooth in the middle of the day. She only has one more tooth to lose!
In order to thank the kids for such great cooperation the last few days we let them pick dinner. Two trips later to Taco Bell (they forgot half of our order the first time) and we had our bellies full. A game of Ticket to Ride (which I won - big - but couldn't whoop it up because EB was crying because she fell short one track) and a little Ultimate Beast Master and it was lights out. The Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy don't come until everyone is asleep!
