Snow

We had some of the darn white stuff arrive late last week.

Yep, you guessed it; I'm not a big fan of snow. Our son on the other hand absolutely LOVES it.

 William has only seen snow a handful of times, most of which I'm sure he can't remember. But what he does know is that snow equals outside fun and outside fun is the best kind of fun according to this boy. He loves being outside exploring, walking with Bobby, running, climbing on things, getting mucky. The list goes on. This little baby bro or sis cooking nicely is going to be spending a lot of time during the summer on picnics and trips out in the buggy during William's last summer holidays before starting school, it is going to be amazing, Mummy cannot wait!

William's pre-school shut on the Friday, along with all of the other schools in the area, which to William meant a morning of chilling watching Cars 2 for the millionth time and playing with all of his new birthday toys, books and lego. This was great for me as I was working from home and meant I could get on; I am very lucky to have a kiddie who can keep himself entertained for a few hours, love him. 

Also, luckily for me, Uncle Joe Joe decided to be a bit crazy and walk the four and a half miles from Netley Abbey to Botley so that he could come and play in the snow with his nephew. It was such a cute thing of him to do and shows how much he loves his nephew, but I did still worry that he would fall over on his way and break something! We went out for an hour or so to throw snowballs, run around and walk Bobby dawg.

 Bobby also loves the snow. He loves running in it, eating it, making yellow snow, running after snowballs and then wondering where they disappear to once they hit the ground, oh and attempting to catch snowballs in his mouth and then getting brain freeze dumb dog.

 After all of the excitement, we went back into the warm, had hot chocolate and the boys kept themselves entertained whilst I finished off work. Thanks Joe Joe, you helped out a lot :)

Later, when Tony got home from work, we decided to take a quick walk to the local shop and have a bit more snow fun. It was great to see our area covered in snow and people's ahem, creative snowmen. 

William also found a stick which he would not let go of and used as a walking stick the whole way home. It is now stashed outside the front of our house 'for another time', cute!

To round off the snow day fun, the following day we visited all Grandparents in one day. Starting off with breakfast at Grandad & Big Nanny's where we made a MASSIVE snowman from all of their untouched snow in the back garden.

 Next up was a trip to Netley to see Little Nanny, Grandma & Grandad Boys & Uncle Joe Joe. We snuggled up in the warm and watched some of William's programmes and played with even more of his toys. The weekend was rounded off for the boy with a birthday treat to TGI Friday's with Auntie Gemma, Uncle Steve and Grandma Cats.

I guess the snow wasn't so bad in the end...
