The first snow dump of the season finally arrived on Sunday. What started out as a snow flurry in the morning continued all day until we were under a foot of snow, scuppering any plans we had of a family day out! The novelty is already wearing off though as I remember shovelling snow from the steps and garden path, digging the car out of the drive as the snow plough dumps the snow at the side of the road, getting 3 children out of the house each morning in full winter kit and pulling them to school on a sledge as I disappear down a snow covered Gopher hole...! It's all coming back to me now!
The children are loving it though and Ben was out sledging with his friends as soon as school was out! Luckily Olivia & Charlie are a bit more sensible, preferring to make snow angels in the garden and bounce on the snow covered trampoline where they can get indoors quickly!
Charlie has had his Nativity play this week and looked very cute dressed as a Shepherd and carrying a sheep; not a real sheep though, as he pointed out to me! He was very confident and was waving excitedly at Leigh & I. Olivia has her play tomorrow and is almost bursting with excitement as she has a sparkly crown and a speaking part! Ben is bursting with joy too as we go away on the day of his Christmas concert and he therefore has to miss it!
Leigh is on about his 15th Christmas lunch this week and is currently in Medicine Hat on another one. Funnily enough when he left at lunch time he said he was 'pretty confident' that he would be on the transport home at 6pm... it's now 10pm! No doubt by now, Leigh & his colleagues will be telling each other what great blokes they all are... really great blokes, just the best...hic!
