It's here to stay...

Well our day started off early... 4am to be exact. We dropped Daddy off at the bus station so he could get the coach to the airport as he is going away for two weeks snowboarding. We did hope to take him to the airport ourselves but it snowed an inch whilst we were asleep and we didnt want to take the risk with the children in the car further up the motorway. After waving Daddy off the little people and I returned home and snuggled up in our bed and slept until 8.30am.

It had snowed some more whilst we were asleep, we hung out at home but we needed some supplies so headed off to the store taking it very slowly as the roads were covered in snow again and it was still coming down.

Uncle Murphy and Cala then came to pick us up in their 4x4 and we went up to theirs to build a snowman. Once we were all wrapped up warm (it was -3) we headed into the garden only to look at each other and say so 'How do you build a snowman.' I think Jo, Cala and I did quite a good job. Sam was well equipped for the snow as Nanny Maureen had bought him some snowboard pants. Daisy unfortunately is like me and doesnt really favour the cold.

Cala and Sam did angels in the snow. Sam loves the snow and after some warm coco him and Jo went for a walk whilst Uncle Murphy had a nap and Cala, Daisy and I chilled. After more tea and some crumpets Uncle Murphy gave us a lift home. The weather was closing in and the snow was coming down heavy. When is it ever going to stop?

When we got in we watched tv, made some chocolate lollies for Cala's birthday lunch tomorrow and spoke to Daddy on the phone, he has arrived safely and fitted in a day on the mountain. It is only day one of him being away and we all miss him so much.
