SNOW!



We've had snow! Our first snowfall was on Tuesday last week I think when we had a light dusting of snow. It caused much excitement in our family! There wasn't enough to make a snowball or anything with it but it was white & cold & fun to crunch around the garden in! It snowed a lot more over the next few days & there was enough for Timmy & Luke to build their first snowman! Actually, it was a bit little so we called it Snow Baby. They loved making it almost as much as I did! (Rotten camera turned the snow pink in some piccies so I had to edit them. It's nearly not noticeable now!)
After school on Wednesday the boys played in the back garden for ages. Jordan said they were playing being Snow Men throwing snowballs at the fence & generally having a fun wild time!
Jordan made me a snow pizza & his first proper round snowball, that he later enjoyed throwing at our fence!
Luke & Timothy were fascinated by the white stuff! Neither of them enjoyed it going in their faces or getting it stuck to their gloves though!
On Thursday I got a call from the school saying that Jordan had cut his finger with a pair of scissors & could I come & get him as he was very shaken & upset. It really was a nasty cut & he was very pale when we picked him up. Apparently he had screamed very loudly when it happened! It must have been a real shock for him. His teacher & class mates looked after him very well. Jordan & I enjoyed 2 afternoons just the two of us while the twins were at nursery school (he got a horrible chesty cough Thursday night so couldn't go to school on Friday either!). It was sweet hearing his friends ask if he was ok when we picked Timmy & Luke up from nursery. They really are a very caring group of children!
So that was our snow adventures! It rained on Friday night & most of the snow got washed away. My giant snowball stayed for a little while though! ;O)

I think we had more snow here in Shropshire than anyone else- all the kids enjoyed it especially the ones off school as well!
