❅ Sledges and Snowmen ☃

Sadie has waited, waited and waited for the snow so she could go out on her sledge for the first time, can you imagine how exciting the prospect must be when you are 5?

Well it finally came on Friday the 18th, after many poor predictions...

She had a ball Saturday and Sunday!






                                                                   Off she goes!!



I think this is the first year she has not wanted to come in after 5 minutes because she was cold, she kind of just got on with it and braved it~ although the 6 pairs of gloves changed regularly probably helped!

On Monday Sadie and Henry's schools were shut. Hooray! I heard from both.

They built little snowmen, Sadie refused any help, and built in the cold for 90 minutes to try and get something that  resembled a snowman, I kept shouting "MAKE IT ROUNDER"!! "Then it's head will stay on! "



She got there in the end.... Sadie's almost 'french' looking snowman.


                                                     Henry's... That carrot looks like a beak!


The look on her face because she did it all by herself was priceless, she is like this in ALL things, if she has any help then it doesn't count, and she would rather scrap it and start again, Woe betide anyone that puts even 1 puzzle piece in for her!! I guess  her tenacity will be a good trait when she's older.

Well the  snowmen's carrot's and eyes have fallen out  and their heads are almost falling off... The thaw is here, and I'm thinking of Spring  and new beginnings...and all the good things it brings.:)
