Snow, Snow and more Snow....

We have been caught in the middle of what can almost be described as an Arctic winter for over a week now. It was minus 12 on Monday when mummy ventured out to attend an interview (not sure about how it went or whether I actually want the job due to strange shift pattern!). Today we braved the cold and ice to walk to the library to meet Bookstart Bear http://www.bookstart.org.uk/. The pram was slipping all over the ice and Jamie got a bit upset as his fingers were so cold (he kept taking his gloves off) but it was worth it. Two girls read a couple of stories, sang songs and made a stocking - which was very messy!! And we all got to meet Bookstart Bear; who seemed to scare most of the children. We met some other children and hope to see Ben and his mum again next week at Storytime. Oh and we came away with a bag of goodies including 2 really good books. Also in the goodie bag was a number chart which we have put on Jamie's wall to hopefully help with his learning.

The snow has meant that a lot of things had to be cancelled last week - including the Lincoln Christmas Market. We also missed the Santa Special railway which we had all been looking forward to. We were supposed to meet cousin Noah and they were all going to come back here for a bit of a buffet tea, so we were all disappointed that the points were frozen (among other things!). Dramabugs was also cancelled and we missed the last swimming lesson of the term. And my interview was actually moved from the Thursday to this Monday. But it was still very cold...but I did get some Christmas shopping done while I was out. I also bought Jamie a 2.5 tog sleeping bag from Mothercare and this has solved the problem of Jamie waking about 3am due to kicking his covers off and then getting cold. Well worth the money! Fingers crossed the temperature is slowly rising as we are hoping to take part in the Santa Run on Sunday!
