The week started out with a Mother’s Day brunch delivery. I even got the fixings for bloody maries delivered! I’d already gotten my gardening gift early so I could do a lot of gardening on Saturday!
I framed the succulent painting that Jess made for me. Makai loves to play with the seashells in my office.
Makai is always taking photos of mom and dad while he’s facetiming!
Makai finished a 550 piece puzzle while listening to a Captain Underpants audio books.

An early morning breakfast meeting outside on the deck.
Some states are starting to open up and people are mobbing stores. It’s crazy.
Not good news here in Illinois. Luckily, it seems our leaders – Prizker and Lightfoot – are following the data. Other states are making purely political moves.
Baby garden.
Lunch al fresco.
Romi saw that I was making this on one of our Zoom meetups and admired it, so I made one for him too!
We walked down a neighborhood street we’d never been on before and saw this tribute from 2016.
After 2 years we finally have some shelves in our garage.
I love these murals at Kilbourn and Addison, across from the metra stop.
Mom, can I listen to my tablet? Only if you go outside! Listening to the first Harry Potter book. We already read it together and watched the movie.
Listening to the Wow in the World podcast.
Reading in his bedroom.
Beautiful afternoon. 75*
We tried to find some nature today. Makai enjoyed watching a chipmunk hide in a hollow log and a couple of ducks play in the water. We were in Edgebrook Woods. It felt like we were way more than a 13 minute drive from our house.
We spotted this leaning tower of pisa in Niles, while we were driving around looking for a place to get on the trail (the parking lots were closed!). Per Wikipedia: “The Leaning Tower of Niles is a half-size replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Located in Niles, Illinois, it was completed in 1934 by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric.”
Some of Makai’s math homework. They only do sums up to 10, but Makai can definitely go higher.
