Finders Keepers Weepers Heapers

It was a pyjama day today - up until 4pm that is! It was cold and it snowed all day. Only slowly, but it settled. It made the roads horribly slippy.

Snow Indicators

Aunty A and I built Smallest's bedside table. I taught her how to crochet (though I'm sure her mum taught her when she was younger as she already had the fundamentals). She crocheted a lovely 'string' and made it into a fashion cuff. Then made a start on her crochet bag - needs a bit of work yet. I nearly finished my wrist warmer, just the thumb to go.

We also unblocked the toilet. Poor Smallest went to the loo and ran out shouting "quick, its flooding, its flooding". The toilet water was very close to the top of the toilet. After searching high and low for the plunger, we plunged and cleaned and poked until it was clear. However it is still not right. maybe frozen somewhere. when Smallest went to clean his teeth before bed, he refused to go into that bathroom in case it flooded while he was in there. Silly Bear.

We had a visit from someone donating some jars for the Carnival. The boys played on the Wii and the computer. AA and I played a few hands of Monopoly Deal. We had dinner at lunchtime.

Eventually we got ourselves 'dressed' and took the boys to their swimming lessons. It was still snowing.

They had good lessons. Small swam lots and Smallest swam a whole length for the first time. Smallest's friend Bucket/Dunkin wasn't there so he had his lesson all by himself. Small has his lesson with two girls who are doing the next level up. It's nice that there aren't loads of kids in each class.

There was a 'Dad' sitting watching his daughter swim (in the same class as Small) and a small girl the other side of the pool shouting "I did it Dad, I did it. Did you see". No-one responded so we all looked round to see who she was shouting at. The man behind us (the only man in there) looked at us and said "she's not my daughter". We all laughed and said maybe he should just wave back. When she did it again he put his two thumbs up to her. It was very funny. But funnier still was the fact that her proper Dad came in. He was bald and had a smooth face. The person who she thought was her dad, had a thick head of hair and a huge beard!

We drove home. It was horrible and I hated it. We slid a bit but we got home safely.

Huffle was home and had made our dinner and we had a lovely pot of tea waiting for us. We all ate. The kids watched TV.
