Snow, snowman and footprints

After a tantrum from Smallest on the way to school and Small dropped off, Smallest and I came home, did some tidying and cleaning (I couldn't bear to go shopping again) watched the Bee Movie (again!), had lunch and then went out from about 1:30 and didn't come in again until 4:30pm.

It had snowed last night and was still snowing when we got up this morning.  

This was about 8:30am

This was about 9:30am

Only lightly but enough to build a snowman.

Roll up some snow.....

Roll it some more....

Stick KP's hat on it, some stones, a scarf

And then go for a walk...........  (this blog Post is a little picture heavy today but that is because everywhere looked so pretty with the snow on it and it cheered me up because I was fed-up today!!!!)

Christmas trees laden with snow - just lovely.

So many trees

Smallest has just found the stream

This way.....

Remember this tree?

More Christmas trees - makes me want to put a bauble on it

Smallest thought this was a den.

If you look really closely you may be able to see the snowman

Smallest decided where he wanted to go (this is one of his '3 walks')

Come on mummy, catch up

I told him to sit on the tree trunk (he said "I didn't know trees could trump!")

I was hiding again.  I like hiding in those trees, he said he could see me.

Love this (Huffle says "nice photo but.........) pah what does he know!

Liked this tree

We found these prints and followed them for ages (raccoon, bear?)

Then while Smallest had another tantrum, I made the snowman look less dirty and fluffed him up with fresh snow and added a carrot.

Ahhh that's better

We picked up Small from school and they used their shovels (a present from the Burlington Bertie's - thank you, kept them amused for ages), and cleared snow, made a half snowman (they got bored), threw snow at each other (till I banned them when a shovel nearly hit Smallest) and played shovel each other!!

They were clearing the tennis courts (KP wil be pleased)

Are they being nice to each other?

KP came round this evening - she had bought us a packet of Jaffa Cakes from the English Store.  Ahh bless her and she lent us some speakers.  Hurrah we have music again.

Oh yes, and Huffle is home.  YEAH!
