Snowy Satuday

We woke up this morning to a good three inches of snow, football tots was cancelled and we have had the joy of a morning of not having to be anywhere and beatiful soft snow and sunshine.

 

I went out with MiniMad and we took some photographs whilst Maxi and MadDad cleared the cars.  The sun was shining  and everything looks clean and just wonderful.

This is what is left of the mint that we love in the summer in our herb pots, it just looked so wonderful with the snow on top.

It looks even better with the sun reflecting on it, this snow isn't going to last, so I wanted to make the most of it.

It looks like cotton wool or candyfloss, as MiniMad said.

Just starting to melt and soften off in the sun.

Days like these make my heart sing.  Enjoy your weekend, I am going to.  Now to take my mum shopping, she has not had the best of weeks, she broke her arm on Monday, quite a serious break in a bad position, which means she is potted from fingertips upwards and has to wear a sling.  She is off on holiday to Florida with my Brother and family next week too!!

Sand and Snow and Places To Go

The snow and ice has virtually gone now.   I can not believe how long it has remained and that is actually laid on the sand.

 

 

 

 

I can not remember this happening in my lifetime.

Anyway enough of the snow, me and my boys have been to see The Wiggles at the cinema this morning.  MiniMad is an avid fan, who was introduced to them by my MIL.

We have booked to see them live in June on his birthday.  We took the boys last year and they had a whale of a time.  After watching him sing and dance this morning, I am so excited.  Both boys were lovely.

In fact we have had a really lovely relaxing day, we have made home made mayonnaise, pizzas and garlic dough balls.  We have done colouring and drawing and them we all sat and watched The Three Musketeers snuggled under a blanket.  A perfect lazy Sunday afternoon.

I hope you have had a good weekend too.

That Back to School Feeling

The boys have returned to school and Preschool today.  In the two child free hours I get, I was planning to take down the decdorations that are outside, but this is what the conservatory looked like at lunchtime today!!

I also failed to get to the bank to get the cash for MaxiMads dinner money and as he went to school in his shoes he wasn't allowed to play out in the snow - hmm I think that I kind of failed at being a great mummy this morning!

I was going to bring the Bin in once I got the boys home from school and bunkered down for the evening, but this is what it looks like outside.  So it can wait for MadDad coming home from work.

Yep our road is lethal, the frost has started already and we are forecast snow tonight and heavy snow on Wednesday.   MadDad got new tyres for his car today and will be taking mine tomorrow for new ones.  An expensive start to the month, but needs must!

I have a sausage casserole bubbling away, candles are lit and the house is all warm and cosy.  I have got the boys wellies, waterproof trousers and snow mittens (Tchibo 2 years ago) ready for the morning.  I will do better.  I will also get MadDad to pop to a cash point on his way home or write a cheque for the months school dinners!

Now where did I put MaxiMads homework book.......
