After going to bed knowing there would be much more snow on the ground, we were all quite excited to wake up and play in it. The boys and I got dressed for the snow and then headed out to get breakfast on the way and a sledge (a sled in the US). We went to the football park nestled in the middle of the town where there were quite a bit of inclines perfect for sledging. We had fun also making snowman, throwing snowballs, and making snow angels. Ryan came and met us after work and by the time we went back home we had been in the snow for three hours! I love being in the snow and I was pleasantly surprised to find the snow was so perfect for so many snowy activities. The boys were very eager to get some hot cocoa back on the way home and talk about all the fun they had in the snow. It was a great way to finish up the weekend.

So excited to look outside the window while getting the boys ready for bed. I had only bed home for a couple of hours from work and the world was already covered with a blanket of snow! The boys could not wait to go sneak a peek outside. We are so excited that tomorrow is Sunday so we can go outside and have a snow day!
 |
| It is Snowing! |
 |
| Maddox was quite excited! |
I will admit that I love to do special things for my boys and spoil them when I can. So with Ryan gone and a bad sweet tooth myself, we had breakfast at Starbucks before school. Starbucks is the only place on the way to school since we walk and do not have a car. I let each of my sons choose what they wanted, within reason, and had hot cocoa to warm up from the cold. When I picked them up after school we decided we would have takeaway as a special treat for dinner. It is pretty much just curry or chinse, though there is a ‘Chippy’ (Fish & Chips joint) a little further away. We opted for Chinese and brought it home to eat. The boys love getting Lemon chicken and fried rice with egg. I chose the spiciest option, but sadly not as spicy as I would like.

It is just the boys and I for the rest of the week while Ryan is away on a trip with his classmates. Despite not having their dad here, I aim to keep life fun. Even though England is giving us some pretty miserable weather, I took the boys to the park straight from school. I did not really plan on the mud and right away we were all slipping and slidding. Or to be fair, I was the one slipping and almost biting it hard in the mud. To add to the theatrics, the boys afterwards were ready to take aim at my backside with the muddy football. It was lots of laughter and smiles and we had a whole bunch of fun.

Today was the much awaited birthday party for my newly seven year old, Ronan. He loves Indiana Jones. We went to a leisure centre for his birthday party and all the kids got to play in the soft play area which had two stories. Afterwards we had an english tea with a lot of canapes and treats. At the parties in England you light the cake, but send pieces home instead with the guests. You also do not open presents until you get home. The boys had a great time!  |

| Time for food and treats! |

Happy Birthday Ronan!
Today my oldest turn seven years old! I cannot believe that so much time has gone by since I gave birth to my birthday boy. We have moved so many times in those seven years. He is becoming a really sweet young man and I look forward to seeing him grow up in the next seven years to come. After school I went to the party shop to get balloons and a present for Ronan. We got him a Doctor Who chess set for his gift. We had pizza for his birthday dinner.
