| Morning |
It was pouring of rain as Maciek and Milly left the house this morning for school. Maciek commented that it looked almost like snow, and he was right, as not long after he’d driven away the drops fell thicker, and it ended up snowing all day leaving everything blanketed white and little icicles hanging from gutters. It was magical to watch, totally unexpected and we got a glimpse of what Christmas will be like this year. Completely unprepared as we are for this weather, when Milly came home from school Maciek made the kids some makeshift gloves out of socks covered in nappy sacks, and out they went to build a snowman complete with a carrot nose and a funny black hat! Great for them as for the past couple of months the DVD of ‘The Snowman’ has captivated Noah and has been a regular pre-bedtime wind down activity, and they were so excited to be able to build their very own. Not that he’ll be coming to life at midnight, as he’s already half melted! The forecast for the rest of the week is sunny and low 20’s. So my panic at not having anything to wear has died down as I’ve been told I’ve still got another month at least to sort out my wardrobe.

If you know ‘The Snowman’ you’ll know the main track from it is ‘We’re Walking in the Air’ when the boy and his magical snowman fly to the North Pole to see Father Christmas. Noah walks around singing it, only he sings ‘We’re Talking in the Air, Todaaaay’. I just had to add that in so I don’t forget it, because it’s so sweet! |

To end a great day, we acquired a used bike off a friend for Milly, and we captured some great video footage of her riding on her own up and down the driveway for the first time, surrounded by snow. She’s doing really well, as long as she gets a push start. And Maciek predicts she’ll be riding all by herself within a week! That just leaves me. Maciek still has hopes of me joining his enthusiasm for all sports Xtreme – tell him he’s dreamin’! I’m happy on the sidelines sipping hot chocolate!

ReplyDeleteHi there lucky people. I think it's great that the kids have really enjoyed getting into school. They probably missed the routine as you say. We miss you all, and having the kids come around and play too. I was only just thinking about it the last few days, and it is different not having you around. Ah well maybe we can get over there and visit - if you stay for longer that is. The snow looked nice and I bet the kids and you loved it, as we used to. You all look healthy and fit, the kids look cute with their school backpack too. We miss you heaps, but these blogs make us feel your just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteLove you all
