"This must be the Coronavirus’ way of saying ‘I’m sorry’."
-Ashlyn
The snow kept coming and the world turned into a winter wonderland for the kids. It wasn’t wasn’t the right kind of snow for snowman, but it was fine for throwing snow on each other. And for throwing snow on Sadie, who ran around the yard in excitement every time snow was thrown on her head.
James didn’t want the snow to keep him from practicing soccer, so he tried to work on his skills in the snow. It didn’t work as well as he was hoping, but he gave it his best effort and had fun doing it. After coming back inside, he opted to run on the treadmill to at least get some stamina building in. It ended when he cranked up the speed to the point where he as sprinting to keep up. We had to stop him at that point.
The kids took several trips outside, one of which included a bucket ride on the streets in front of our house. It was a lot of fun for the kids, mainly because they didn’t have to do any of the pulling.
The snow will end next week, but we’re glad the kids got to experience some this year. We were lucky, a lot of people in Texas lost power, water, or both. So while it was fun for the kids, we also recognize how fortunate we were through this winter storm.
