SNOOOWW!!

Today we had the most awesome snow-day!

Out to the park first thing with everyone's kids, snow ball fights, snowman building, and then sledging at a neighbours!

Arthur absolutely loved it, and all we heard from him all day was 'sno!  sno!'

 The boys were, typically, only really interested in launching snow balls at the house - note our bemused cat in the window there!

 ...While Chris, Maisie and her friend made a rather handsome snowman :o)

Back to school tomorrow, I don't think we're forecast any more and it's been melting rapidly all day - so I predict a very slushy grey walk to school tomorrow!

Fun while it lasts...!

I also managed some sewing today, a quick Lego tidy from this tutorial - I am quite pleased with how it came together, so I'll blog about it tomorrow - promise ;o)

Half-term, DONE!

..... My 'Work in Progress' pile - NOT DONE!

I singularly failed to do a single stitch of sewing this half term <shameface> !!

The kids brought me home a lovely stomach bug, which meant from Friday until Wednesday I was poorly sick, and not much use to anyone - I had a brief respite day on Sunday to watch my step-daughter Maisie perform at the local Well-dressing as a Maypole dancer (we're all very proud!)

 It was lovely to see her dance, and she performed superbly over the whole May bank holiday for a total of 5 appearances :-)

- but then I hit the wall again :-(  !

Thursday was a resting day with just the baby at home with me and the bigger boys off at activities for the day - the girls went to see their mum for the remainder of the holiday.  Then we drove down to see my family for the weekend.  Now it's Monday again, and I feel like a failure!

Ho-hum, this week I will do SOMETHING - I think my aim for this month will be to finish the quilts I started as a raffle prize back in January!

Anyone else have any WIPs they'd like to Name and Shame??   Time to get motivated!
