Twit!*

No snow. Still dark when we get up in th morning. Well for some of us. Huffle got up late this morning. He heard the door go and thought it was Small's early morning leaving (7:45) but it was Smallest (8:40). Lazy Big Bear!

Boys off to school. Huffle worked at the kitchen table, in the loft and when I got home around 1pm, I found him putting up the Elf Light. Oh oh, one little Grinch boy will not be pleased. We thought perhaps he wouldn't notice!!!

I went to knitting and made progress on a chicken, helped MrsBasement with her sock and showed DiDi how to crochet C2C. On the way home I popped to a shop to pick up something nice for later and get some much needed moisturiser for Smallest's legs. His shin pads are rubbing again and making him very sore and dry. We switched his body wash last night for Grandma's sensitive baby wash. It seemed to help.

Huffle and I had lunch and watched a Gotham and then he went back to work and I drove far away to pick up some stuff I had ordered for Christmas and take some clothes back. I also picked up some stocking stuffers and had a quick peruse before coming home. Small was already home and starting his homework and Smallest came home soon after. Both sat in Small's room watching ImACelebrity.

We had dinner and I noticed green dots on the ceiling in the living room. The Elf Light was shining through the whole house. No hiding it then from Grinchy! I went out to have a look and it filled the whole front of the house, plus our tree plus some of the plants in the garden. It looked very magical. Sorry Moo for not waiting but Huffle was afraid the ground would get too frozen soon to put it in!

Doesn't really do it justice

After dinner, we gave the boys instructions on how the treadmill worked (we hadn't broken it after all but the incline is set to Hill) and then we went for a walk while showers and tableting were done. We walked about 5,000 steps, a different way round the village, where we heard a musical set of decorations, saw two High Viz jacketed people twice and spied lots of Elf lights and decorated houses.

That snowman was HHUUGGE

*what AuntPear called Huffle for being in #teamIain. Ha ha very funny. We can't stand him either but it's fun to wind her up. Sorry AP.
