Crazy Clown or Little Spud?

The weather has turned cold and wet, very wet and windy. Snow was due on Monday but then the weather report changed and now we have ice and rain due instead.

We had a lovely lie-in and a late breakfast. We tried out Smallest's new game Skip-Bo which turned out to be a very good card game though it took a while to figure it out. Afterwards, the boys mainly played on the Wii and Moo mainly did the jigsaw. Huffle and I snook out for a while and bought a new Hoover in the sale plus a few other bits including some lunch.

We had a later lunch and then tried to tackle our new Catan game which took us about two hours after reading the instructions, setting it all up and playing it. Smallest didn't want to play and instead played with his various new things (including some purple bubbles!). We couldn't finish the game because it got too late and we were all getting tired but it was very good (thank you Aunt Pear) and we look forward to playing it again now we know how it all works.

After dinner we were treated to a Magic Show by the kids. We had glow in the dark gloves and ball, a crazy clown and a multitude of tricks and a comedy sketch. Each different trick they did, they had to run up the stairs and run back down. It was very entertaining.

We sent them to bed early as they both looked really tired. Then they spent the next hour arguing over whether the landing light should be on or off. Silly boys.

Moo, Huffle and I finished a film we started yesterday (In the Loop) and then started a new one (Big Fish) whilst sampling some of our Christmas treats.
