Liverpool pretty much ground to a halt after Christmas with a fresh fall of snow! The boys went back to school for the second day of the Spring term only to be sent home after lunch for fear that no-one would be able to leave the school that night as the snow fall was so heavy! Annie-Joy & I waited in Timmy & Luke's bedroom to wave as they came home from school with Lee in the car. (Lee had a half day at work as he was taking Luke to the hospital but the appointment was cancelled due to the bad weather).
The kids played out in the street pretty much all afternoon. It was icy cold & the snow fell heavily & steadily for several hours. I took this photo of AJ's snowy boots to 'match'
last year's one (seen bigger
here ).
Annie loves snow. She enjoyed sweeping it up in her hands....
....and holding it up to admire it.
At one point I saw a little thought cross her mind as she turned back to see if I was watching her...
...and then moments later she put the thought into action! I think she liked tasting the snow!!
The boys from the street made huge snowballs again with real team spirit. This one was REALLY heavy! It was made into another snowman & dressed in an Everton scarf this time!
The weather took a turn for the worse & we all piled inside to watch telly or something warm. I made everyone hot chocolate with marshmallows on top too.
By next morning the sky was perfectly blue & the sun shone brightly. It was bitterly cold still!
As soon as they were able the children piled out into the garden to play in the snow after I had taken a few untouched snow photos. I love all the toys topped with a thick layer of white. Timmy looked at our snow covered garden bench & said 'Well, that's not a good place to sit today is it?'
The toys didn't stay untouched for long though...
...and soon everyone was throwing snowballs & driving trucks about to gather snow & the like.
Jordan & I had snowball fights long after the others had got too cold & gone inside again to play! Then we had a competition to see who could throw a snowball & make it stick highest on the house! I am very proud of mine way up under the sill of the twins bedroom window! Jordan almost got a snowball as high up as me. We played this game all week which was great until Luke decided to throw a great huge stone at the french window with an almighty thud!! I had just popped inside at that moment & had to rush outside again to re-establish rules for throwing at the house!! Yikes!! That could of been expensive!!!!!
After a week's extra holiday the boys went back to school again. It was so much fun having them home in the snow! Ten days after we built the Everton snowman he was still lingering in our front garden! I think he saw the second week out too! He was obviously well built to last so long! :o)

Whatever else may change in our lives snow can make children of us all! What a lovely mum to not only allow snowball throwing but to encourage it! (And have time to take a few pics too!) And as for letting Annie Joy eat the stuff!!! Yum!
DaddyO xxxxxx
I wonder if you'll be doing the same snow report next year! Another pair of boots for AJ then!
Hope your halfterm is going well. We had fun with Tim today.
Love Mum xx

I remember Ken taking a few untouched snow photos of the garden when we were young.
