Fun in the snow

It has been snowing all yesterday and last night so we thought we would go out and play in the snow this morning.  It took us ages to get dressed up and only the kids have the right clothes, we don't have any gloves yet so we couldn't make a snow man (although we did take the carrot outside for the nose).  It was great fun, the snow is so soft and powdery, we've been told that there is a limited amount of time to make snowballs and snowmen here because the ice becomes very dry and compacted.  Ryder was happy to finally be outside, he was scooting around on his tummy and bum, running and falling over, meanwhile Cooper was busy throwing snowballs at Steve.  Taylor wrote our names in the snow on the footpath and drew a love heart on the car window.

Tonight is Halloween so we cut our pumpkins last night and bought a flashing light to sit inside it, they look great.  We don't have many decorations compared to some of the other houses we have seen, I will be much better prepared next year!  Will let you know how it goes with my next post.

Apologies also to anyone who is waiting for a return email or a phone call, we are not yet connected but will be on Wednesday.  I can't believe how long it has taken, a whole week to get the phone on.  I promise to catch up on calls and emails over the next few weeks.
