Evening everyone! What. A. Week. Mia had a handful of snow and COLD days this week. Wisconsin got a nice dumping of snow this week which is AWESOME. Mia spent one of her snow days sledding behind OL. Didn't bring out the snowboard, just a trusty old sled to make some trails. Not a bad time, but the temps started to shift and she got a bit chilly. Nothing a hot chocolate can't cure.
She had a few really chilly days that caused the district and most of Southeastern Wisconsin to close down, so she had some time to relax, work on art and do some much needed quiet reading. Her last cold day, I was also off so we did two really fun things: We had a drawing challenge where we chose for each artist the colors to use, and took turns picking subject matter such as shave ice, breakfast items and tsum tsums. Really fun and worked our creativity.
Later, we met up with friends and did some bouncing at Helium Trampoline park. Haven't been there in at least 4 years. The place looks totally different and we totally had a great time. Plus, she got to hang with Noelle, her sis Cora and Ellahrose. All in all, great time. Her favorite part was jousting Noelle. I enjoyed dunking on the hoops. We also did some filming for our Mia and Daddy's Adventures video, which turned out nice. Friday, was her 2nd day of school for the week. I believe she was in Wednesday as well before that 2nd cold snap came on Thursday. From what she said, the day was pretty good.
Throughout the week, Chelsea had two matches. One was an utter embarrassment against Boro and Saturday was against Huddersfield. I didn't bother watching the 1st one's highlights because of the shear embarrassment but Mia and I did watch the 2nd one. Chelsea tore Huddersfield apart with a 5-0 win. Awesome to see new striker Higuain pick up a pair of goals as well as Hazard. They've got some pretty big matches coming up so this was needed. After the match, we got our gear and met up with Mia's friend Charlie at Valley View Park for some snowboarding and sledding. The temps were perfect so we had a great time. Mia's improving so quickly. Can't say the same for me. My body is still super sore from some heavy spills. I'm actually debating about trading in my board for a shorter one more specific for freestyle. If I was free riding in Colorado through powder, it'd be fine, but Mia and I are trying to get more into freestyle. We'll see if I pick up a different board this week while Mother Nature hopefully gives us some more snow. I honestly think Mia could hold her own at The Rock Snowpark. Still needs to be able to stop and move her back tail to carve more. We did some more filming and despite having some battery issues, we made a 2nd video. Mia had a blast editing it this morning.
Later, Mia made a red velvet "Spring Cake" because the groundhog didn't see his shadow. I had a slice today and it's pretty tasty. She's such a talent baker and rarely needs much supervision when it comes to baking. This week, I've got hella logos to complete. Hopefully they turn out okay. I also want to continue working on my resume and portfolio if time allows. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
