After school activities

Max rolled this jolly snowman in the garden after school yesterday. Never thought I'd need to always have a carrot in the fridge.

Sledging

Today we have been sledging with Sian, Dave, Kieran and Flynn. Major sub-zero temperatures didn't deter anyone and the sledge I gave Chris for Christmas fitted 4 silly grown-ups very well. Really good fun.

Self portrait

This is what I look like after 50mins clearing snow off the drive. That would be the drive that gets longer every time it snows - I kid you not!

Birthday boy

Here is Max doing his best Hannibal Lector impression.

[Fwd: It snowed again]

While it looks pretty clearing the drive was a chore this morning. We
have decided a skiing holiday is more fun than a snowblower so I will
have big arms at the end of the snow season.

Back to school

Max at recess today playing mini-sticks. Dom was a bit too far away far away from my camera but also playing mini-sticks on a big patch of ice.

Addiction

Dom has announced that his dad is "addicted to being outside."

Given that the temperature is -8, he may have a point. Max is out playing with his remote control car, Mads is colouring and Dom is reading Harry Potter.

I am opening the New Year with a customary act of procrastination - doing this instead of the hoovering. Sad but true.
