We had a late start this morning. The boys didn't get up till after 7:30 and Huffle and I didn't get up until 9am (whaaatttttt?).
Huffle skyped Grandad and Uncle Dermott and caught up with all the sporting news. Small skyped his friend, MissK back home.
We all went out to get Small new snow boots as he had a hole in his (they've only lasted him two months!). Huffle and I bought ourselves balaclavas. We also managed to get Smallest a new pair of boots which we hope will fit him next year too. (they cost $9 - that's about £6 for a sturdy pair of snow boots. Amazing!).
We had dinner out and then all rushed back home as Smallest had a party to go to and Small and Huffle went sledging.
Smallest had lots of fun at his party. It was in a soft play gymnasium. He trampolined, went on the balance bar, swung like a monkey and played in the play area. Then they stopped for pizza and cake. They all watched while the party girl opened her presents. Then armed with his Lego truck (gift bag) we went home. I was a bit worried because apparently this is how parties are here. At the age of five they have the whole class, with entertainment, and food and fabulous gift bags. Oh No - Smallest is going to be five soon. Arrgghhhh.
I met some Mum's there and found out about some things to do in the summer holidays. I also met a Dad who works for the same company as Huffle. We said we would all get together for a cup of tea sometime (he was English).
Small and Huffle went to a local farm for sledging which was part of the Winter Festival here in the Hamlet. They had free hot chocolate and lots of fun sledging. It was fast and furious.
We all arrived home at the same time. The boys had a bit of tea. Then we had to play a game ............................................................
Please can we play something else?

I saw this caterpillar on the drive crawling to safety as it heard the thunderous feet of Small and Smallest.
(I put the key next to it to give it some perspective)

Bouncing on the biggest trampoline I have ever seen
Time for food.

It's a wooly bear caterpillar:) It turns into a yellow moth. It's funny that it's out so early. I guess because it hasn't been that cold.
Dear Famfa, party looks wow & in answer to my email question it was for smallest. Beginning to think we should invest in Disney Monoply. Everett Xxx
I think we may invest in Disney Monoply too!!
