We got up late ish. I knew we were later than normal because Small was starving. Huffle and I are aching this morning. Arms, legs, bum, stomach, shoulders.
We had breakfast. No snow last night. Weather a bit windy with a temperature of around -2.
We already decided we would have a lazy day in as we had a few Skypes to catch up on and we had a tiring day yesterday.
We skyped Grandma and found out that Uncle Grump had moved into his new house. Brilliant, we are very pleased. We hope him and The Chimps are very happy there.
We skyped LizzieDotDot and saw Baby. Bomberdill, Small's best friend back home, wants to come and visit us and said he would save his money from his birthday to buy himself a passport. Bless him.
The boys wrote some more letters to their friends back home.
We skyped Moo who is already looking for flights to come back early Summer. She visited Grandma this morning and handed out drawings from the boys and a Christmas present for Aunt Pear which we accidentally packed and brought with us.
And we were skyped by Mr & Mrs Harlow. Which was nice. We had a good old catch up with everyone.
Aunty A emailed and said she too wants to go snowboarding which I think we might be able to manage as long as the snow is still here in March. We have played Junior Monopoly which is far different to Disney Monopoly. We watched Wall-E and then made him out of Lego. We sorted the Lego into new containers. Huffle unpacked some more things.
Huffle and Smallest did some drawing and colouring while Small and I played with the Lego.
Huffle made a Maple Syrup Sponge. It was yummy. We used Cake and Pastry Flour with a bit of 'Magic Powder' (just baking powder but it really is magic!).
No mouse action last night. Had another tip regarding catching mice from LizzieDotDot. You have to put chocolate in a tall glass bottle and tilt it slightly. They go, can't climb back out. You drive them miles away and let them go. Ummmmm, thanks but not sure about that one! He'd probably jump out while I was driving or something.
Today we had a woodpecker on our bird feeder. It was too quick for me to take a photo. I'll be ready for it next time!

A rare moment. Small asked if he could read to Smallest. Yes you heard right, it was his idea.

I forgot that the flour is different here. My MIL always bought a different type when she visited here during the summer but I can't recall what it was or even if it's still available.
I'm not a baker...can you tell:) If it isn't a mix then it doesn't get made is my motto. I really don't need to bake as my son's MIL bakes non-stop.
Is it that you have self raising flour in Britain or do we?????:(
