An Apple a day.....

We had a lovely lie-in this morning. It was snowing and was about -5 and sunny but cold.

Huffle and Small went out to buy a new much needed computer. The one we were given at a very reasonable rate didn't work, twice and we sent back, so we needed to buy one properly. Apparently Small had a wonderful time in the Apple shop playing on all the gadgets. He is, after all, Gadget Boy!

 

After Moo cleaned the snow off my car......

She did such a good job that I sat in the warm car and let her get on with it
.......Moo, Smallest and I went to shopping to get Smallest a new coat (his arms have grown again!) and a new pair of snow boots (his let in water) and some socks (because we didn't know when we left this morning that his boots were wet and therefore he was walking around in wet footwear - bad parent and grandparent!).

We purchased his coat and boots in the sale and some lovely warm socks and then we shopped for food. By the time we left, it was lunchtime.

We came home, put the shopping away, had lunch and played Ghostly Galleon.

Huffle and Small came home with the new computer - very nice. Huffle and Smallest set the computer up, Moo and I played table tennis (Moo won but I did have something in my eye, ha ha ha), Small played with his Lego. Then we all went and set Smallest up on Club Penguin as he had the membership for a Christmas Present.

I started making Vegetable Lasagne and Beef Rigatoni, Huffle helped and played with the Computer, the boys played with the computer and Lego and Moo went for a walk with Drew.

It was cold outside and warm inside, when she came back her glasses got all fogged!

We all had dinner and then we invited Drew round. The boys wanted to show her their presents. We all had a good chat. The boys went to bed and Drew went home. We had a cup of tea and a little something and played Scrabble. (Moo thinks she's on a roll!)

Everything moved. It was all very clever and there many more too.

The last one is of Huffle being a Rap-hoodie-trousers-fell-down-type we saw plenty of on the Subway
