We got us some winter!

    About freaking time winter!
Luckily it was Saturday so we got all bundled up and headed to a nearby park for the morning. I don't think I need to tell you I took way too many pictures. 270 to be precise. Once again you may need to take mini-eye breaks every few minutes to prevent eye strain...

The morning light was insanely good...
    Isaac didn't know what to make of it. He was like 'this is great but where's the snow?'
    He got into it though...
    Lucas was digging it too...
    How are those eyes doing...
Check out my new snow boots. They were a necessary purchase as my old boots died on me. When it rained it was like trying to walking in two buckets of water. I heart these toasty babies...
    Even the people without awesome new boots were over excited...
Then we went to feed the ducks. As always when I'm around ducks/animals in general get frisky. It's a strange and worrying gift that I have.

Being stalked to the waters edge...
    Easy now, there's enough of me to go around...
    Yes I noticed you Swanny...
   Then up the hill for a walk in the woods...
    Textures everywhere...
Fallen trees to explore...
    A perfect Saturday morning.

Feeling it

That new year feeling...

It started with a sunrise...
    Okay you have my attention...
 Then on the weekend I decided to go for the first bike ride in over a month...
    Fresh air and the feeling of early Sunday morning superiority never fails to get me inspired.
Im feeling the urge to make a million New years resolutions!

Happy New Year!

Movie night...

Movie night...

It was a good one. And we decided to mix it up food wise. You know really pretend we were at the cinema (if it were appropriate to go to the cinema in your PJs...)

Instead of fruit smoothies we had hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows...
Instead of homemade pizza we had hot dogs (before your eyes widen, the naughty toppings were for adults only. The boys just had a little ketchup)
Instead of, no wait, as well as popcorn, we had Nachos (again naughty toppings for greedy pig adults, and good God it was worth the extra fat on my tummy)...
So the boys chose Shrek forever After...
They love Shrek and watched this completely captivated.
 There was even an after movie puppet show... 
Although I felt there was a lack of effort puppet costume wise...
