Snowed in and Loving it!

I LOVE the snow!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! This weekend gone, Ben and I were supposed to have a romantic weekend away without the kids. The only place in the whole country that was issued a severe weather warning was where we were... see the red dot.... and worse, the only motorway junction shut in the red dot was the one we were clearly not destined to go to. I LOVE the snow though and so being snowed in with our kids was still glorious and I felt so blessed to have our little patch of snow for 2013!!

THE DANGEROUS CLUB FOR BOYS idea is one I have been brewing and really needed snow for.... most people didn't make it to the CLUB in the freezing conditions... But we met, all wrapped up warm. Our activity was so simple and great fun....

Mix food colouring with water in a spray bottle and then decorate the snow with it. It is super effective and really artistic and unusual to look at. The boys did need a bit of help using the squirter through their gloves but it was hilarious... particularly when they sprayed themselves blue!!!

Our second activity was BRILLIANT. We used an old camping mat and pulled the boys around the snow till they fell off... admittedly, we (the adults) got SO exhausted we had to do some pretty sharp turns to make them fall off, but all in the name of fun and they thought it was marvellous!!

After this the boys sat down for a BabyCino Alfresco and we went home, freezing cold and VERY happy!!!
