The Singing Potato

We didn't realise how much snow we had overnight until the school bus was cancelled and I had to get the snow off my car. We think we had about a foot. I drove the boys to school and picked up Smallest's friend on the way, dropped them at the Kiss and Ride and came home.

Huffle worked from home today and we intermittently popped out to clear the drive. It was tough going, lots of clearing of snow, breaking of ice, removing of ice and sweeping of cleared paths. The temperature was around -12 today but it felt much colder, every time the wind blew it was an icy blast.

I stayed in today (apart from helping to clear the drive) and cleaned some windows and sorted washing. I watched another episode of Bletchly Circle, had a skype call with Moo and sewed up my cardi which I don't like as it makes me look like a balloon in a thick cardi.

When I picked the boys up later from school they decided to stay out and play. As Huffle had chopped the ice and threw it on the, what once was, grass, the boys chose the large chunks and made a wall with it. Another fort. I helped them a bit by scooping the snow around for the walls.

It started to get a lot colder and the kids came in. We had jacket potatoes which were the biggest potatoes I have ever seen, when they went in to the microwave for a quick cook before the oven, they whistled and sang. Smallest thinks that the potatoes and fridge are friends because our fridge also sings and talks!!

Small went off to Cubs tonight to make a robotic hand and Smallest stayed behind (no Beavers this evening) and watched Tale of a Turtle on the IPad. Ahhhhh they are learning.
