Saturday Sledging

We had a really lazy Saturday morning.  Small watched Star Wars, Smallest and I drew and coloured, Moo unpacked boxes and Huffle became Mr Fix-it again.


More pen on his face than on the paper, but loving every minute of it

Huffle very smug with his hanging work

Moo delving in the boxes like a hungry hobo

Smallest decided he wanted to do different 'thank yous' this year.  So he made a Christmas decoration for his friend back home.  Then we drew a thank you picture for Grandma and Grandad.  And then another one for Aunt & Unc Pear and Pest and HB.  I can't show you fully because they might be reading!  Then Small started as well - he drew a lovely picture for Grandma and Grandad too.


The concentration!

We stayed in our PJ's most of the morning, then had a light lunch and got our snow gear on and went off in search of hills to sledge down.

We were recommend a place which was gentle hills and slopes and great for kids.  Only  $2 each and we stayed their for over two hours.  Great fun.  The kids loved it - to be fair so did Huffle, Moo and I.

Moo and Smallest sledging - extreme!

A quick snicnic break again (we ate the Chappos chocolate - thanks)

Whheeeeeeeeeee - Moo whizzing down the hill

Smallest was going down on his own.  On his front, back to front - he didn't care, he just went for it.  Every time he got to the end bit he rolled off, in a very dramatic way.

It was very tiring trudging up that hill all the time.
Moo had a wetness problem - senior moment?


We had a quick trip to a supermarket, came back for dinner, bath, couple of games and then Moo put the kids to bed.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now it's our turn.  The wine is open, a cheeky little red 14%.  The cards are shuffled.  The brownies are warming and the ice cream is chilling.  Ahhhhhhhhhh.


Happy New Year to all my readers and all the best for 2012.
