Patience Grasshopper

It snowed when we woke up (this time last year was our first snow of the season) and then it snowed a bit later and finally ended in rain ALL DAY!

We were late getting up and so had a late breakfast of pancakes which we didn't finish until gone 10am. Smallest had a party today at Ew's so Huffle dropped him off and Small, Huffle and I played a game of Niagara. This was a game that the Rumbleskins sent us a few years ago and we have never played it. We took full advantage of the fact that we didn't have Smallest with us as it might have been a bit too complicated for him to play (the instructions were very long). It was a really good game and Small won.

Huffle brought Smallest back. He had been outside doing a Scavenger Hunt (in the rain without a coat or wellies on!) but he had a great time with all of his friends. Huffle and I played table tennis while the boys chilled on the IPads. After a light lunch we played Mouse Trap (Huffle won in a controversial fashion) and Junior Monopoly (which we abandoned because Smallest got silly and ruined the game, though he would have won because he had oodles of money).

Small made brownies and I helped him while Huffle made dinner. Karate Kid 4 was watched by the kids this evening. They have steadfastly worked their way through all of the films - they love them (apart from any kissing!).
