“Snow is Falling, All Around Us,…”
…”Children playing, having fun”
Mine certainly are, seeing as they have extended Christmas holidays!
It does look pretty, this blanket of white currently covering the UK, even if it is a litle inconvenient. As my good old dad said today, “isn’t it strange how the schools are all shut, yet the pubs and shops and soft play centres stillmanage to open”. He’s got a point, but nevermind. we are enjoying it.
This is what we have done today:
Our very own babywearing snowman – who says people should be the only ones to carry their babies! Equality for snowmen!
We’ve also been sledging, had snowball fights and then come home for hot chocolate in front of the fire.
I’d love to hear about what you have been doing, and see your photos. Please comment and leave your links below. And if you have any suggestions for other activities to keep a 5 year old and a 3 year old happy for a few more days, do let me know!

I have a question. Not that I am anti-snowbaby wearing you understand, but given one of the huge advantages of wearing a sling, such as the stylish, safe and snug SnugBaby sling is that you Get your hands Back!, why does he have no HANDS!

It’s a good point, Sam, and I have to agree, as did the little pixies who made her (or him, SnowDaddies can babywear too). Unfortunately the snow isn’t sticky enough to make snow-arms, and we couldn’t find any sticks to use. It was hard enough getting the eyes to stick on!

I think snowman needs a snowbaby! It is lovely, we’re snowed in here and haven’t been able to get anywhere which I don’t mind but husband hasn’t been able to work and he’s self-employed. The children have been out in it a little bit, it’s so deep here they have to wade through it!

We were going to Emily, but the boys decided they were too cold to do any more, haha
We haven’t got that much, only a few inches. Enough for everything to grind to a halt though. Hope it melts a bit for you soon. Don’t think it will here – it was minus 12 when I came home at 6.30pm today!
