Niko was off from school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and on Tuesday night it snowed and when we woke up on Wednesday morning, it was a winter wonderland. It’s been below freezing ever since and, according to my weather app, for the next 9 days, that won’t happen (on that 10th day, it says high of 39 degrees).
So, back to the snow. We were already warned in advance of the snow. I was very glad that I didn’t have to drive in it on Wednesday morning. Right when Niko was going to bed on Tuesday, is when the snowflakes started to really showcase themselves. I was enamored by the beautifulness of the snowflakes and took a lot of pictures from every point in the house where I could I see the outside.
Niko woke up twice that night for a quick pee, and the first, Niko didn’t really care about the snow on the ground – he was probably still dreaming of fighting Pokemon’s with Riley cat and eating a huge bucket of cheese with an extra large fruit smoothie from Jamba Juice. The second time, his dream mission must’ve been successful as he looked out the window and thought it was beautiful as well.
On Wednesday, Nina and Niko bundled up to play in the snow. We have a little hill (and, yes, we have a sled), and Nina showed Niko how to safely maneuver it to avoid obstacles and to stop. I went out later in the day with them, and used the sled once, but I would rather see Niko enjoy it than me. While the three of us were out, I grabbed the snow shovel and started to shovel the driveway. A minute later, Nina and Niko took over. We do have a snowblower, but it wasn’t enough to use it yet.
On Thursday and Friday, Niko was excited to get on the sled again. Hearing his happy screams as he is going down the hill, is totally worth it.
On Saturday, it snowed again, and this time, it started when Niko and I arrived downstairs for breakfast. We turned the fireplace on, and just watched it all day long. We did go out in the snow for a few minutes.
Today, we are planning to break out the electric snowblower for the driveway, so we can safely maneuver the car out and in for the morning drop-off tomorrow.
