We were so excited to see that it was snowing when we woke up - something different for a change - NOT! This winter is unreal - we just keep getting more and more snow. Anyway, the troops and I did some art projects while listening to music early this morning as Rhodri slept in. We even lit candles for the occasion. Nothing crazy, just some coloring with crayons and then mincing up chunks of Play-Doh into bite sized morsels and then squishing them back together again.
Then Rhiannon decided to look after her baby and push the stroller around, so Tryfan decided to do the same. Fortunately, we have TWO babies and TWO strollers. Rhiannon was trying to get her baby to sleep by pushing her stroller gently around the room, and Tryfan was more into the stroller-ramming technique, so they were making quite a bit of noise and soon Rhodri was awake.
Here is Tryfan checking in on his baby.
We actually went on to have a pretty full day. We mobilized and went into Asker to do some shopping, then we all went home for a nap, then we were off to a birthday party for our colleague Michael's daughter Victoria who turned 5 today. We were quite well fed at this party and so on our way back home, we stopped by Ikea rather than racing home for dinner. Tryfan and Rhiannon were SO excited to ride together in a shopping cart/ trolley that it made the whole excursion a really fun outing. After all, we got to ride in the elevator
twice and Rhiannon got to push the buttons both times as well as having free rein to jump up and down in the cart as much as she wanted to as long as she didn't hurt Tryfan. Plus there was a seat belt for Tryfan so he had limited mobility although he didn't seem to mind since it was such a novel (though short!) experience.
We actually managed to come away with only the 2 items we went in looking for, plus a couple of ice cream cones which we shared. The forecast is for another foot of snow tomorrow, and we have no plans as of yet. That, I reckon, is a perfect forecast!
