Waanie Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's so sad that your SIL's therapy got stopped, and that she is alone at this moment . I heard somewhere that the crisis hits the mentally ill extra hard, and this brings it really close. I wasn't aware that we have traditional cake during easter, TIL! The recipe does look delicious, and I'm glad that yours turned out great 👍. Have fun with training for your next jumping rope competition! 1 Quote Link to post

Terah Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yesterday (second easter day, does the rest of the world celebrate that too?) we went for a walk through Ascore. Yes, that is a made up place. In D&D. But we had fun My mom read to the boys through the power of skype and all 3 seem to enjoy this very much. Today it's back to the grind. Both boys are getting instructions with their entire class from their teacher using Microsoft teams. And they are working on their computer and tablet to complete school tasks. In a way it's a good thing that this virus is going on now, and not 10 years ago when we didn't have all these opportunities to keep society going. 2 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Link to post
Terah Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Since I'm mostly recovered (still coughing a bit, but other than that I'm okay) I feel like it's time to get my shit together again. I've been eating way too much sweets (chocolate eggs and such) so to balance it out I'm not eating sugar. And since we've no where to go, I've been way too sedentary. Snarky gave me an idea to reward myself: money There are new expensions for the sims in the making, so I'll earn coins in this challenge to buy them. I can earn 1 euro for: - Eating no sugar for one day - Doing at least 30 minutes of exersise in one day (can be split up). Exersise can be anything like: taking a walk, doing ringfit, dance, yoga, weights etc. 3 1 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Link to post

Terah Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I got myself a few coins allready My mom had send us whipped cream cake for our 12th wedding anniversary, so not as much coins as I could have The cake was delicious though Today I heard about a bear hunt. People are putting teddy bears behind their windows for kids to find, to give kids something to do during this time. I took my boys for a walk around the block. We found 43 bears in around 45 minutes. The boys loved it and we got a good walk in. 3 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Link to post

Terah Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 We went bear hunting again on Sunday, after our weekly D&D session. William is home this week, so there will be extra D&D sessions played Today is the king's birthday🏳️🌈. Normally that would mean lots of fun activities for the kids and people selling their old stuff on plaids on the streets. This year people are selling their stuff virtually and play games with their kids indoors. Last Friday the PE teachers for the elementary schools in this town organized online king's games through facebook live, youtube and instagram. We got a list of stuff we needed beforehand (like balls and toilet paper rolls ). They did an awesome job and the boys loved it! Today we will be traveling through Ascore some more (D&D) once the boys are done playing outside. Oh, and I did a ringfit workout. I felt great 🏋️♀️ 3 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Link to post
Waanie Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 That bear-hunt and King's games sound so great! It keeps the kids engaged, while also letting them exercise. I was not aware of the teddy bear hunt, I will look at the windows here during my next walk to see if people are also doing that over here .

Then there's vending machines that only take perfect bills, so you have to go through your entire stack to find a oner that is accepted. Staying in the euro-zone safes a lot of hassle like that . 2 Quote Link to post

Terah Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 THE BOYS ARE ALLOWED BACK AT SCHOOL NEXT WEEK!!! Just for 2 days that week, but it's better than nothing I don't know who's more exited: me or them In other news: I've been collecting so many coins. I've already got 16 euro's. No sugar is pretty easy as long as I'm not pms'ing The next stuff pack for the sims 4 is coming soon (a knitting pack), and I've got enough coins to buy that one as my reward. I know there will be a gamepack and an expansion pack this year too, so I'm going to keep saving up The hairdressers are still closed here, so I had cut Peter's and William's hair. It really got way too long. William was pretty easy as he sat still and gave me good feedback on where to cut a little more. Peter on the other hand kept tugging his head between his shoulders and complaining that he couldn't see the television when I needed to stand in front of him.
