We’re almost in quarantine. With the Boy still a little iffy from a previous illness and K sick, we have stayed inside the whole weekend. Sometimes, though, that’s just what we need: a lazy Sunday morning with everyone doing what we want. L reads; the Boy plays; I hang out with my children.

As the morning wears on, I turn my attention to the Boy’s lunch: a soup made of pureed potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, and chicken. The Boy loves it, and I can see why: it’s really not that bad, despite the fact that it’s a bit bland due to the lack of seasoning.

The Girl helps with our lunch, which includes an eternal favorite for L: shrimp. This time, we set her to work cleaning them.

After lunch, a walk that reveals the irony of suburbia: nature and concrete.

With a short week in front of us, a relaxed Sunday is about perfect.
