Grandmama comment: "I can only imagine how tire you are especially after the friday you had. Having car trouble and relying on one car isn't easy... However, I want to tell you how proud I am of you and Rick. You guys truly are an inspiration... Love you!"

Working on improving our sleep and routine. This last year has brought some better understanding of my fatigue and other complaints. Drink more water, consume more sodium, avoid over heating, take mornings slow... try to get regular and full nights of rest, sleep train to a face up back position (to minimize joint soreness and injury). We are trying to shift my 3am-11am sleep to a more normal 12am-9am along with creating a consistent nighttime routine for everyone. Then will invest in pillows/pads to sleep train in a supported position.

My thoughts - we had fun decorating for the season but we also were crabby with each other. The girls played video games together building a map and exploring with some bickering and squeals. They willingly helped and tidied up and also complained about some chores. We wrapped up the day with a note to our penpals and a new treat (peanut butter on saltine crackers with a marshmallow, broiled then topped with another peanut butter cracker). Guin, Grandmama, and I were fans! Thanks Kim W. for the suggestion!

2020.09.30 Yesterday 

Yesterday we enjoyed a fun virtual field trip to a local gourmet popcorn shop. We even got to enjoy samples during the tour (picked up this past weekend). We read our two popcorn picture books afterward. Then the girls shared more corn information they learned from other places.  We watched popcorn drawing lessons and listened to "popcorn" music on YouTube. We enjoyed it all so much we decided we would celebrate National Popcorn Month (October) with more popcorn and new to us recipes. Crunch Crunch Yum Yum
