Compared with yesterday's lounging, I think we can say today was positively energetic.
Though not ideal as the kids woke us at 7am... yes 7am on a Sunday. I thought we'd managed to get them to amuse themselves rather than waking us but I think we kinda used our quota for the week on Saturday morning.

So what did we do with out early Sunday start? We all wrapped up and had "at" the garden for a bit. So whilst Sally and I set about tidying and moving stuff around, the kids had a great time smashing the various sheets of ice they found.

Sam bless him managed to stick 2 hrs in near sub-zero temperatures, making mud pies, finding stones and digging for treasure. Phoebe on the other hand took the girly option and headed into the house after 45 mins. Still they both worked up enough of an appetite to polish off their dinner, which is not something that happens very often in this house.

We've been showing off Phoebe's air guitar to all and sundry too, which prompts me to redress the balance and upload another video, this time of Sam (which Sally "found" on her phone yesterday).



BTW, our Wii-Fit at the moment is not in use, but sits waiting (nay pining) underneath the TV stand. It was a great idea when we bought it but I fear that as I'm the only member of the family that wants to go anywhere near it, it'll languish in plain view for a while yet.

The thing that IS getting a lot of use at the moment, is Sam's collection of train bits. Both Brio and his Thomas & Cranky set. I'm getting quite good at dreaming up layouts for the former but if someone could come up with a Brio track designer for windows I'm sure I'd pay good money for it.

My final though tonight as I post this at 11.15 is get your arses onto BBC iPlayer. Find the Sir Richard Attenborough show on Charles Darwin and watch it. Start to finish.. and marvel at anyone who still believes in any of the "Facts" that the Bible gives us. Sure the sentiment in the Bible is great but I could get that same sentiment from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
