ole schnikees: 2020

Tuesday it was misting all morning but trevor and Al went fishing with matt, cam and chloe at about 10. tova and I did some of her favorite things that are hard for me to let her do for very long when trevor's around too. she got to do big girl paints for as long as she wanted. she got to play doing dishes in the sing with bubbly water for a long time. she got to watch sesame street. after nap it started to get nicer out and was humid/warm so we went on a family bike ride. we went about 3 miles but trevor had to stop a bunch because he was hot and/or tired. his bike/wheels are so little and has no gears so he has to peddle a lot more than we do. plus we over dressed because I didn't realize it was so hot/humid. then we stopped at grandpa peter's house for a little bit before heading home for supper. after supper we watched the new kids movie that came out on Disney plus that we've been waiting for Al to be home to watch.

Wednesday morning the kids and I walked over to Jodi's to play outside and for trevor to try out cam's bike and he fit perfect on it! much bigger than trevor's current bike; so once they find a bigger bike for cam, we'll buy his bike for trevor. after nap, we played outside all afternoon until supper time! it was so nice out!

Thursday was a little chillier so we mostly stayed inside and did some school work and crafts.

Al was off Friday-sunday and sunday was easter. Friday morning we did a bunch of easter crafts while al went to the grocery store. we played outside after nap. that night after bedtime, we had a zoom hangout again with derek, sarah, shane, Jodi, matt, Jodi, katrina and my brother. we played some trivia and had fun.

Saturday was gorgeous outside!! we drove to govin's farm and did their drive-thru baby animal watching. then we came home and played outside until lunch. during naptime, Al, trevor and grandpa peter went fishing but didn't catch anything. after nap we went outside until almost bedtime. we had our first fire and burned all the pine needles and sticks we'd been collecting. we even ate supper outside; it was so nice out! Saturday night we had a zoom hangout with trina, tyler, steph and tim. we played a cool website game and had fun!

sunday it started to snow at 730am and it didn't stop until after midnight. we got almost 10 inches of wet, heavy snow. it was also easter. the kids got their easter baskets from the easter bunnies, we dyed eggs, the kids got in to their fancy clothes, and had an egg hunt. grandpa peter made a ham and came over for lunch. al made mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, I roasted veggies, and trevor & I made deviled eggs. after nap, we went outside and played in the snow. we made little snowmen, a snow horse for the kids to ride on, and had a family snowball fight. we had fun in the snow. then al and tova went in to make supper, while trevor and I shoveled the driveway and sidewalk.

Monday al was back to work and the snow stuck around so the kids and I stayed inside. we did some crafts and I started teaching trevor cribbage. he did great, is super eager to learn and he got a 20 hand!
