This weekend....

This weekend we made miniature snowmen; inspired by hats found in Abbie's doll's clothes box. The one on the left is supposed to be an owl and the one on the right a motorcycle snowman. I think he has suffered a whiplash injury at some point as his head has shifted to the right!
Abbie was not happy when I bought her some Peppa Pig boot socks in Sainsburys- I quickly learned that Peppa Pig is not for 7 year old girls.
At least her feet were warm when we went sledging.

Harry can be very funny. Today he came through and said to Abbie come and see my magic trick. There was a cardboard box on the table and he said I can make a cat appear; he opened the lid and out popped Pippi! (Pippi loves cardboard boxes!)

Harry decided after seeing Santa in Folkestone with Mrs Santa that Abbie from now on should be Santa's wife in their games!

Abbie was not impressed!


We had a great time sledging down Roundhill this afternoon; you can usually guarantee that if there is not enough snow at home there will be more in Hawkinge.

The back of Roundhill is a good gradient and about the right length. You can park at Crete road west and you are right next to the slope. This year both Abbie and Harry were fearless and Abbie spent time coaching Ian how to go faster!

Ian, Abbie and I last went sledging there when Abbie was only 18 months old. Ian met Abbie and I and Anita and Steve straight from work (yes those were the days that Ian had to leave the house to go to work!) Anyway it was dark and Ian was wearing a suit and work shoes with no grip which made climbing up a steep icy hill quite a challenge!

Please can we have some more snow!
