Annabelle's Blog: Quarantine week 44

Last weekend we decided to post on Facebook that we were doing a January jammies drive to collect PJs for kids at Golisano Children's Hospital here in Rochester after Annabelle was in the ED. We were hoping to get 100 pair, we were overwhelmed with the response and as of today we are at 180 pairs!! We said that we would collect until February 1st so there is still 2 weeks to go. Now I'm hoping for 250. Lots of our time this week has been spent bagging each pair and labeling them with the size so nurses can easily identify them rather than having to dig through a box of clothes.

Annabelle has been loving her LOL surprise toys and wants to play with them all the time. I'm getting better with my imagination play since we are still not playing with others in the house and she's not one to play by herself. Brian even joins in to play to give me a break. She has had a few playdates that included playing with other friends over facetime and comparing LOL dolls.

I have to say that she's been such a trooper. Other than going to school we are home 100% of the time. It's really too cold to go anywhere outside and we don't take her into stores. Actually, we barely go into any stores except for quick trips for what we need. I'm sure it's saved us money over the past year although our Amazon game is strong. There were a couple days this week over 38 degrees so we went for a few walks around the neighborhood.
