Soccer

It's that time of year...spring sports are starting up!

For me, it was soccer. I remember starting practices in February before the soccer season began. It was still winter, and bitterly cold on that practice field, but being outside every day after school, I got to experience the weather change firsthand as spring swept in. 😎☀️

Winter

This winter has felt particularly brutal...it's hard to believe we are almost through it! Just a couple more weeks to go. I can hardly wait! 😎☀️

Rainy Sunday

A rainy Sunday afternoon was perfect for curling up with a comic book. And once I got into the superhero stories, it was hard not to picture what it might feel like to have powers myself. ️🤩

Trouble

Anyone have an assignment like this?

Fortunately this only happened to me a couple times in my childhood. When we got in trouble and the teacher forced us to write a particular sentence five hundred times, it was an assignment that took nearly all weekend to complete, especially when we had to push through with a mix of frustration, exhaustion, and pure desperation! 😮‍💨📝

Running

I didn't like to run much in gym class...except when the weather was cold!

Trying to get your body heat up during freezing temperatures is a great motivator! 🥶😅

Snow Day

A child's worst nightmare after a snowfall! 😬

When the plow made its way through the neighborhood, every kid knew their return to school wasn't far behind! 😮‍💨❄️

Treacherous

Many of you know I like to go for walks, but after it snows, venturing out can be a bit dicey...especially when you come across a neighbor that has yet to clear off their walkways. 😬

I've slipped and fallen enough times in treacherous conditions to think twice about walking outside...at least until all the snow and ice has melted. 🤕👟
