Day 11 - 17

11 Jan 2010 - Day 11

My beautiful Evie pouting in my beret.



12 Jan 2010 - Day 12

Bought some new washing up gloves... so it was my turn wash the stuff that doesn't go in the dishwasher lol



13 Jan 2010 - Day 13

It snowed again last night - went to work but got sent home as it was too dangerous to be on site. Evie wanted a Snowman - so I made her a Snow-momma! She has this thing at the moment where she asks if you have a baby in your belly so I made her this!



14 Jan 2010 - Day 14

Weather warmed up today - and so did the snowmomma! Her head fell off and she started toppling over!



15 Jan 2010 - Day 15

There is one thing iI have everyday - that is an Activia yogurt - does what it says on the label lol



16 Jan 2010 - Day 16

This weekend we are headed to Jay and Gareth's to have a fun night in with some drinks and the Wii!

Here are our lil girls Kayla and Evie taking instruction from Andy in playing Just Dance :)




17 Jan 2010 - Day 17

Sunday is play day! Here is Gareth running round with his daughter Kayla having a piggy back! She loved it :)

9 Jan 2010 - day 9

coldest day in forever in the UK with still inches of snow on the ground. I just want the snow to melt and to get on with life now! Managed to get to the supermarket and then stayed in with Evie in the warm.

I asked Evie if she wanted to play a game, then she went over to pick a Wii game lol I told her I meant something like Connect 4 or Jenga! She picked Connect 4 so we *played* that for hours.

8 Jan 2010 - day 8

ok - so what's new... the snow? nope.. the cold? nope.. lordy! well at least the buses were back running so I had a good chance of getting Evie to her childminder.

She went - and I went to work... did some work and came home! Evie wanted to make more snowmen but the snow is too dry and only stuck to our gloves.. I suddenly realised that our house has loads of icicles hanging off the front of it and then saw our outside tap... EEK! It looks kinda arty but I know that unless it's turned off (and it's NOT!) it may burst... I may live with a plumber but does he remember these things before the weather gets cold..

6 Jan 2010 - day 6

so it snowed all night it seems and this morning we had about 4 inches of snow!

After going out to clear the car of snow I observed some other drivers and took the decision that I would not be driving anywhere today. I am fairly confident in the snow but I will not take Evie in the car in it. She is far too precious to me.

Andy went for a walk to the main road and even decided that he wouldn't be going anywhere.. so we had a family snow day at home! It was lovely to spend time together as I can't remember the last time the 3 of us were just hanging out. We all wrapped up and went out to make a snowman - who looks rather ace if I do say so myself lol

Then Andy and I had a snowball fight in which I was worried I would get pelted but he's got such a rubbish aim that I didn't get hit and dodged and weaved quite easily. Here is our horny snowman! (yes we used frozen carrots!)

5 Jan 2010 - day 5

Well today wasn't better at work... urgh..

Not much of note today.. although Evie now knows the naughty step :(

oh and it's snowing - a weather alert has been issued.. there could be up to 40cm of snow here overnight - something we don't see that often!

Here is my garden about 90 mins after it started...

2 Jan 2010 - day 2

Today has been a nice lazyish Saturday - even with the step kids being here - haha. We've watched films - popped to the shops and generally had a nice time.

The only lil moan was the dusting of snow overnight - I am hoping it doesn't lead to any more falling tonight as the week before Christmas we had plenty and it made the roads dangerous - snow falling, turning to slush, freezing overnight and having more snow on the top of that!

Oh - and one more day until back to work :(
