SNOW!!!!!

Fantastic snowy day today - children didn't need any encouragement to get dressed. Prompt for 365 day challenge today is a quote by Ali Edwards ' Life is too short and too amazing to spend time worrying about imperfections' - the following photo of ben in the snow today fits that prompt for me - I had forgotten to alter the ISO on my camera so it was at 1600 and Ben closed his eyes - and yet still I love this shot! of his first time playing in the snow.

John came home for a quick play but made a hasty retreat when he realised the children were actually quite good shots and he was getting wet!

Tom got a bit thirsty - luckily he is not tempted to try any yellow snow!! only freshly falling stuff.

George had a fantastic time - running around like a lunatic ears flapping - he ate quite a bit of snow too and wasn't quite as discerning as Tom!



HS:MS is back with the prompt WHITE - plenty of white stuff around but decided to take a pic of my favourite garden ornament - a majestic lion that is finally hanging on the back wall and looks great with the virginia creeper growing round it but also looks good in the snow!




Just a few more snowy pics for Grandma!! - Ben with his eyes open this time!

And Sophie looking cute in her lovely red coat.



And finally Bloblet the Snome - although we had quite a lot of snow today there wasn't enough (or enough patience !!) to build a snowman so we built a Snow Gnome instead and Tom called in Bloblet the Snome !

'Bloblet the Snome'! I love it - brilliant name and a very cool mini-snowman. Come up here, there's plenty of snow to build LOTS of snowmen. But we're currently hibernating indoors :)
