Claire
Although we are not getting to the gym since it's closed, the weather has been nice and we've been able to go to the park almost every day. We don't get so stir crazy now that we go outside all the time, even if it was just in the back yard on the cold or wet days. We usually get pretty dirty in the back yard playing with dirt or mud, but we easily go into the bath afterwards. I still prefer the park because Claire has so much more to do running around with slides, swings, and dogs when they show up. She is still quite mean to her sister sometimes and tries to lock her in or out of their room and run away with toys. There are some times they are cute together though especially when I dress them up matching and can cuddle them.
Shay
She seems to love the outside just as much as Claire or more and constantly points to the door or plays with the window blinds. She is getting so good at walking and can keep her balance really well when she doesn't get too excited. She has walked from the living room, around the corner and far into the kitchen when she hears us preparing food. She always hears me playing with the wrappers of fruit snacks when we are on our way home from the park and turns around to stare at me until I give her some. Food is one of the many bribes to get them to come home with me after visiting the park...so I usually make sure to have a few of their favorites with us.
Chris
It's only been 4 days and Chris has already complained about not having the gym 20,000 times because his life is over when he isn't working out. Not that we haven't done some home workouts to replace what we usually do, it just isn't the same when we can't go very heavy. He does say that the hospital is a lot less busy when he works and he likes that people don't want to come bother him. He comes to the park with me and helps Claire learn how to climb up scary ladders and help shay slide down.
St. Patrick's Day
Didn't feel like much of a celebration since everything was shutting down and we didn't go anywhere except the park. Chris didn't remember it and didn't have green so I pinched him, but we didn't have any other ways to make it special for the girls. They barely notice the big holidays because we usually go to grandparents and have presents or candy, but these small ones aren't special yet. They will know Easter though since searching for eggs is going to be fun with Claire and Shay will hopefully have fun playing with them, too.
