Santas little helpers

I slept until 4am when Smallest had a coughing bout which woke the house up (except for PrincessMoo who sleeps in the upper turret).

Both boys had to be woken this morning and neither had any time for playing on their tablets before school. They both took their teachers gifts despit the fact that Small was acting like a 'teenager' not wanting to hand things out like his Mummy asked him to.

Huffle worked in the basement after clearing the drive of snow (as soon as he came in it snowed again and left a drive full of snow again).

Moo and I spent all morning wrapping presents. It took forever (3 hours I think). Those boys, big and small, are very spoiled this year.

Huffle came up and had lunch with us and then Moo and I got into frenzy baking mode again and made a batch of mince pies and jam tarts. There was no messing, pastry made, rolled out, cut-out, chucked into pans, filled with mincemeat and jam and in the oven. Not the prettiest tarts we've ever made but nicely functional. Everything was cleaned and put away before the kids came home and Moo and I were washed and ready to go out.

Early evening we all went to pick up our Orthotics. Huffle drove and we got there just in time. We had to sit around and wait for them to be finished but the boys played hide and seek with Moo (in the tiniest of places). We sorted out the Paperwork, tried them out, had enhancements and went off for dinner.

Dinner was nice if not a little noisy as we sat in a room with party goers. We came home, Huffle finished off some work and the rest of us sat and played.

Smallest is much better. Still taking his medicine and still coughing. I am feeling much better. One more day of my medicine and no more of my drowsy stuff EVER. Yuk!

Ahhhh human again. Make-up and washed hair. It's me!
