Madd Max Has Half Of A Restful Day

Sunkist with every lunch on vaca.

Dinner in front of the debates.  Jess and Uncle Wills were texting back and forth, and Jess commented on how Trump debating was reminiscent of fighting with Maddie - a lot of talking over each other,  yelling, etc.  About 45 min into the debate, Max turned to Jess and said, "Mom, this is like when you and Dad fight with Maddie."  About 15 min later, Maddie, very seriously, turned to Jess and said, "Please stop comparing me to Donald Trump."  She was right.  Jess apologized.

Madd Max Works In The Time Of COVID

Jess drove back to Burbank in the am for her first COVID test for work.

Back in Palm Springs - her afternoon, quite warm, office.

A little Telestrations at dinner.

Madd Max Has A Morning Office

With a view.  Until it gets to about 10:30, when the heat makes the view less worth it.

Madd Max Settles In

Morning swim.

More questionable interior design.  One theory was that this couple got together later in life.  One brought the red accented furniture into the relationship.  The other brought the pastel art.

The necessary vacation Lucky Charms.

And then it was time to set up for distance learning.

Max went full on set designer cave, shutting the curtains and leaving only one corner light on.

Jess' virtual work spot.

One of the benefits of having a Taisie.

Someone to help you make your pizza box oven for science class.  Where Max used his pizza box oven to... reheat a slice of pizza.

This is how PE should always be.

Madd Max Enjoys A Day In Palm Springs

Front yard relaxing.

Questionable interior design tied together with the accent color red?

Guitar practicing.

Reading in the not-turned-on hot tub.

Grilling.

Eating al fresco.

Capped off with movie watching from the now-turned-on hot tub.

Madd Max Head To Palm Springs

With remote work and remote learning, it's possible to be almost anywhere the car can get to.

Taisie decided a house in Palm Springs would be lovely.

Especially one with a pool.

Super nachos outside.  It was still quite warm.

And a movie from the pool.

Madd Max Has A Mulan Kender Koffee

 The Kenders did a Disney Plus Watch Party for this Kender Koffee.  Mimi made sure everyone was stocked with movie watching supplies.

Madd Max Has Dinner At Taisie's

Just like the before times, but they're bigger.

It was nice to finally be inside Taisie's house, and dinner was delicious.

 

Madd Max Works Hard

Under the watch of his hovering Art Director.

Madd Max Brings Granada Inside

Because of the weather, which has been consistently - "Smoke."

It was still fab - a little gaming, a little mediocre - but filled with happy memories - Mexican food.  Everything one could want on a Sunday night.

Slappy Spells

Sometimes the best spelling is not always Merriam-Webster's.

 

The Scrapper Has An Idea

How to get feet clean after walking across the beach.  Bring a half full bucket of water back with you.  It works remarkably well.

Madd Max Has A Quarantine Word Search

 

Made by one of Jess' friends, Rhea, and using all words relating to the pandemic and our new way of life.

The Scrapper Gives Appropriate Respect

Everyone is very still with the exception of The Countess' tail irritatedly swishing and a low growl. 

Max walks in and announces, "All Hail Our Queen!"

The Scrapper Makes A New Catstle

This one has rope to play with, pillow inside, cat toy coming in thru the top with reinforced sides so it doesn't fly out and land on the bed, etc.  It also has two slits.

Can you tell what these reinforced slits are for?

Homework in the catstle.
