From another blog I have come across, a few words that I shall keep with me when tempers are high and fighting is likely just remember 'everything passes'.
So back to yesterday, we walked Milo and the boys did some sliding around on the frozen puddles before heading down to Nana's The boys had a play and then we all went out for a happy meal at the new McDonalds down the road. Instead of a toy there was a book on space in the box which was of interest to both boys as they stuck stickers in and read about planets.
Later in the afternoon we went to see my friend in Donald Wilson House, I had told the boys mainly 'A' what to expect, but I think he found it a little concerning seeing her like that, because although she looks the same, shes not. :-( They did me proud though and were extremely well behaved and did overcome their shyness to talk to her. I think she enjoyed seeing them especially 'H' who laid down with her and had a cuddle! 'A' had said he would like to see her again, but not next week, maybe in a few weeks time.
Anyway SNOW fell upon us this morning! We did venture out first thing as we didn't get coal yesterday and needed to stock up, also popped into the butchers for some sausages as hot dogs were on the menu for lunch. It wasn't too bad out there, but it did start to come down quite heavily by the time we had got back.
A bit of Monsters Inc before lunch then we all wrapped up and went outside, it was still absolutely freezing, poor 'H' fell asleep with his hat over his eyes.
We learnt about snowflakes today, something that 'A' said he wanted to do, until i had printed off some worksheets, then he proceeded to roll around the table and didn't want to do anything. Interestingly though he retained all the information that I provided so it wasn't all bad, even if it is highly frustrating.
The rest of the day has been about reading stories and watching Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly with a bit of Team Umizoomi thrown in.
