Countdown to Christmas - Day 12

Evening,

Another snowy day. 

Mummy and the Girls enjoyed a rather chilly walk to work/school. They were a little bit late due to lots of picture taking, but as Mummy said 'how often do they get the chance to experience snow? They might as well make the most of it.'

Jack and I spent a rather relaxing, and much warmer, day at home.

I stayed an extra day due to the difficulties of getting him to nursery, which is rather out in the sticks. He enjoyed playing indoors, while I finished knitting Mummy's new scarf.

We did rather wonder whether putting the tree up with two new kittens in the house was a mistake, but Mummy decided that they would never learn if they never got to see one.

She may well be regretting that decision, although I think that they have been forgiven now lol.

Jack and I have another playday tomorrow, but I have said that I really must go home on Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by

Countdown to Christmas - Day 11

Evening,

There is the real feel of Christmas in the air today.

We started the day with a walk to the village after a very heavy frost.

There is something really magical about nature in the winter. We spent a lot of time marveling at the frost on the leaves and trees, and finding the most amazing spiders webs.

After some shopping and a hot chocolate we came home and I was tasked with keeping the kids entertained while Mum and Dad sorted out some Christmas wrapping and putting up the decorations.

Chloe nearly dragged me down the stairs in her eagerness to show me the tree, her little face was a picture of sheer delight and wonder.

And then this evening the ultimate in any Christmas fantasy.........snow.

The children insisted on going out in it for a snowball fight with Mum, while Daddy ran a nice warm bath. The perfect round up to the day.

I was supposed to be going home tomorrow, but as it looks likely that Jack's Nursery school will be shut due to the weather, I am going to stay for another night. Mum and the Girls can walk in to school so long as it stays open but Jack is not so fortunate. Still another day with them all can hardly be seen as a hardship, and I know that Mum is all set up and can manage without me for an extra day. But you won't get me out there for a snowball fight I'm afraid. I'm always terrified of falling over.

Thanks for stopping by.
