May 2020 Highlights

May 5: One of my favorite plants blooming in my garden: Bowles Mauve.
At the lab getting tested for anitbodies, 3 months after we suspected we had Covid 19.  We were sick weeks before it became broadcast as a new virus. 
Accidently forgot my mask in the car and was required to wear one...so they gave me a papertowl staples to rubberbands LOL.   There was a mask shortage.  
The test came back that I did have antibodies, so this means we must have had Covid in February 2020.
Our new litterbox cabinet, because dogs are gross and like to eat cat poo.   I cut a whole in the side and repainted it.  The cats seem to like that it has a window to see out and the fact that the dog cannot get to them there.


More projects.  Refinishing furniture for the boys rooms.






May 10: Mother's Day.  Sweet gifts from Versii (painting above) and from Paxton (below).


Lego explosion in the basement kitchen. 
Our New/Old bathroom sink cabinet.  
May 20: Kaden's 17th Birthday.  He spent his birthday in Colorado with family.
Kaden's amazing self portrait for his college drawing class.
May 21: Versii helping to install wood flooring in the hallway and band room upstairs.


May 22: Before Versii went to bed the night before his birthday, he made this sign to let us know where to leave his presents.  So naturally we had to place his presents there.  

May 23: Versii's 13th Birthday.  We have a tradition of letting the kids pick their birthday dessert.  Versii chose homemade chocolate cheesecake.  


May 24: Hanging out with our friends, the Shreiner's at their cabin near Mount Hood.  We went for a nice walk nearby.



 
The kids all enjoyed roasting marshmallows for smores and hanging out in the hammocks.




We originally bought this cabinet intending to turn it in the bathroom sink cabinet, but then we found one that better fit the design.  So we decided to refinish this...morphing it from light green to a beautiful white and added new drawer pulls.





May 28: Since our friends moved into their cabin and are waiting on a remodel to expand their living area, the let us set up their pool at our house for the summer.  

May 31: Paxton and his new guillie suit.  
Paxton's 11th Birthday, with his best friend, Washington.

Finished desks and nightstand.  Versii requested a dark wood stain.
