Huffle's alarm went off at 7am and he got up and woke Small up before getting back into bed. Yesterday all the winter duvets came out of hibernation and we all now have cosy quilts and warm brushed cotton sheets. We did not want to get out of bed this morning, especially when we saw how much more snow had fallen. Small attempted to get his breakfast started and I got up soon after and helped him. We hurried him along and then Huffle (after clearing the drive and my car) took him to school. Today he visited the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Small said it was boring because they weren't allowed to go where they wanted on their own and the Art wasn't great. That's a shame.
I spent the first part of the morning sweeping, cleaning one of the bathrooms and tidying before getting myself ready for a forest walk. Thermals today and sturdy walking boots for a wak with NoCustard and TeaLady. The sun was shining despite the cold so it was a great day for shadowy photos again.
The snow was boot high so it was a tough walk but very very enjoyable. It took us about an hour and a half as the snow really slowed us down.
A quick lunch with Huffle who was pretty much holed away all day and only appeared briefly to stretch his back and collect a cup of tea. I made Lemon Poppy Seed muffins and Banana Bread and prepared dinner whilst watching The Great Interior Design Challenge and folding washing.
I popped to the library and sorted the boys books out before they came home from school. Homework, snacking, piano and putting clothes away and then dinner for all. Huffle has devised a chart for Smallest to make him tidier and more organised at home (though Aunty Rumbleskin says she is forgetful and loses things and I lose things all the time including my new sunglasses today in the forest, so he probably doesn't have a hope really!).
IPads were allowed in the run up to bed and Small and I looked through old photos of when he was four/five and Smallest was just a baby - awwwwwwwwww.
