Snow Days

Up in Stamford this afternoon, it was lovely and sunny and we were happily feeding the ducks-we were not expecting to be snowed on!! It wasn't much grant you but it was a bit of a shock. We got a bit more snow once we got home which put paid to my plans to trim the ivy. Didn't fancy using the electric hedge trimmer in the wet. I don't look good with my hair permed....

More of the tudors today, we played a version of tic-tac-toe, worked on the pomanders and made tudor cookies. Still have lots to prepare for friday so the next few days are going to be a bit crazy. Sam is slowly warming to the tudors, mainly, I think because of the amount of beheadings. He seems to be fascinated by the fact that so many people got their heads chopped off. Lady Jane Grey is his favorite tudor for just that reason. He can't remember the names of Henry's wives but he knows what happened to them all and he thinks that 6 wives isn't very many!

He is still very into scooby doo and his fluffy dog frolic (thank you auntie lynn!!) Today at one point I think frolic was pretending to be scooby. It is nice to see him finally doing some imaginative play as it is not usually his thing.

We have someone coming to look at the house on thursday so please keep your fingers crossed. It would be nice to know that we have someone sorted out before we leave. Tomorrow night should be fun, frantically cleaning while trying to sort out the tudor stuff.

Happy Birthday DAD!! Hope you have a great day.
