quarantine...

 we got the rona. 

we made it without getting it for over a year but alas, covid-19 found us and took us out. we didn't get super sick, thankfully, but it was still a long 10 days of not feeling well with all the kids home and trying to do school on top of it. everyones different symptoms were the weirdest part of it all. chase had horrible body aches for 10 full days. the poor guy, he was miserable. i didnt get too sick, if i hadn't of gotten a mouth sore in the back of my throat it wouldn't of been bad at all. it was huge and so painful it made everything awful, no food, no sleep and really wanting to just spit in a cup for a full week. then i lost my taste and smell. my smell just came back a few weeks ago and part of me wanted it to stay gone forever. i loved not being able to smell. tegan and burke only had a headaches and belly ache for a day or two. mya got a horrible sore throat, fever and body aches for around a week straight and ayla got head congestion that only lasted 48 hours. it was so weird. never seen a super runny nose come and go like that.

we finally made it out of quarantine, it felt like FOREVER. with heading to mexico a few weeks after we got sick we made sure to do everything by the book so we could get back in the country incase one of us still tested positive weeks later, no one wanted to get stranded in mexico or have to quarantine again. with everyone starting symptoms on different days we ended up having to deal with quarantine for 16 days. barf. 

the kids made daily competitions to help pass the time. lots of lacrosse was played and four square.
