SNOWFLAKES ON MY NOSE

As I have deadlines looming it is fitting that I choose now to blog about past events in the hope of putting off the inevitable exercise fo the grey matter that constitutes my brain!

French week at school was entertaining. Adam learned the french alaphabet song and how to count to ten. We put on a french cafe and the kids were introduced to chocolate crepes, croissants, pan a chocolat, brioche and madelaine cakes. Adam was fo course interested in the cakes.

Carys spent the afternoon stealing marshmallows aff everyones plate I spent the time pretending I hadn't seen her.... It was easier to let people think she was never fed rather than say no and eithyer 1. cause a tantrum or 2. spend the rest of the afternoon chasing her away from food. Irresponsible parenting maybe.. but hey...everyone needs a day off sometime. :-).

Its SNOWING.... proper confetti, cornflake shaped snowflakes that are sticking! Nothing like those of New MExico's standards but its is so exciting! I love the feel of snowflakes on my nose. It started snowing last night and driving home at about midnight, I had the pleasure of makign the first tracks through the streets! There is something so fiendish about messing up a blank.. serene looking canvas that was our street! I am writing with glee as I recall those moments my tires crunched the snow... you know the sound... its that thunk thunk... fab!!! I understand now why some toddlers just HAVE to scribble on a wall..... Carys.. if you only knew.. you've just been given liscence for free for all on the walls in our house!!
