Happy Homemaker 2022-01-22

Good morning!

We had a cold week (with lots of snow also on 2 days).  I'm starting this post on Saturday and it was -26C and with winchill -34C this morning! brrrr.  We did take small walks every day even though it was very cold.  This morning, Monday it's the same!  sooo cold.

We were to babysit the grandkids last Wednesday BUT the covid in daycare on Monday so they were kept home all week.  Thursday Anne-Elizabeth had symptoms and tested positive, she is coughing, some labored breathing and just an unhappy baby.  Seems better today. 

Saturday daughter-in-law also tested positive on at-home test.  My son tested positive on Sunday.  So we won't be seeing them this weekend and probably next weekend too.  My husband did their groceries and errands and dropped them off outside at their house.  They teleworked all week by turns while taking care of the kids.

My husband has been going through his things in the basement and organizing (not getting rid of alot though :( )  He has been doing things we have been procrastinating on, so it's nice!

2 cw's in our team were sick this week too but we are in virtual so no virus' there.  Not sure if they have covid or not.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

On my mind

Hoping the kids are not too sick with covid.  My cousin's daughter's 1 month old also has it and is in the hospital with fever she is on intravenous antibiotics - she also has a bladder infection.

On the breakfast plate

My husband made chocolate chip muffins this morning.  It was delicious hot with a glass of oat milk and half a glass of fruit smoothie
