4 packs Klondikes
10 cartons of ice cream

Youtube workouts:. Not enough based on above dessert tally.  50?

Games?  I have lost count.
Quacks of quedlinburg
Clank
Settlers
Farming game
Agricola
Ticket to ride
Oh hell
Uno
Twister
Mastermind
Blokus
Forbidden Island
Scattered states of America
 We sound like such nerds when we play this game.  We get excited about things like elven boots, flying carpets, and dwarven peddlers, as we try to collect artifacts without waking the dragon.

Or Agricola where we race to grow our family and farm and turn our sheep into meals.


Or mix potions as quack doctors collecting rubies and hoping we don't explode our pots.

All of a sudden we don't play any sports and we play fantasy games all day.  This quarantine has revealed my inner nerd.

Birds hatched? 6

 Deck playdates?  Who knows how many.
 Car rides together? 1
They were beyond excited to go somewhere.  We drove to an empty school lot to watch the Blue Angels fly over.

Video calls?  Like a million (Tommy dragging himself out of bed this morning saying, "I have to do my crappy call.". Then as we logged in he says with mischievous grin, "I hope it says no such meeting."


Libby with the whoppie pies...more desserts likely to come!

Dear Fairbanks - As I read through your lists, I became increasingly agitated and jealous. You might wonder why.... well, let me explain. Aside from being with all of my children and grandchildren, my two favorite things to do are: (1) play games and (2) eat desserts while playing games. SO..... I'm feeling sad to have missed out on so much!!! Anyway, hugs to all my dear ones. MomMom xoxoxoxo
