casper Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Keep warm Jen, you really do have a busy night ahead of you! We are bracing ourselves for heavy snow, they say it will be here about 5am so will cause havoc in the morning for everyone going to work and school. Hope everyone has a good evening, take care and will catch everyone tomorrow. Caroline:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Morning everyone, Just thought I would share a few pictures of what we woke up to this morning. I took the kids to school, two seperate school runs and both schools were closed! It seems every time we have a bit of bad weather over here everthing comes to a standstill! So I have a house full of kids as I offered to help the other mothers who work and the kids are having a great time! They have been out making snowmen but it didnt last long when they got wet through! Hope everyone has a great day! Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I love the photos Caroline. No snow hear just raining and cold. How do countries who have really bad weather manage to keep everything running as normal when this country seems to cave in at the thought of snow.I hope all the kids have a great day and dont drive you up the wall.

Lyric Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think the snow is so pretty, before it gets all tracked in and peed on- uugh, yellow snow! Those are good photos Caroline and they make me feel even colder. I'm sitting down to check the forum for a minute before I feed the littles and go to bed. I can't believe I get a minute to actually do want I want to. Lyric is in the other room supposedly sleeping, the boyfriend and one dog are in bed asleep and the puppy is watching me type but getting very sleepy eyes himself. Oh, now he's asleep too. I hear dreamland calling me too but obligations come first. Sheila, sometimes things do get a little wacky when we have lots of snow or ice- ice is the worst. Usually around here a lot of schools end up closing for the day- they don't want to take a chance of wrecks and kids getting too cold standing out waiting for the school bus. Kids love it because they end up getting a day to stay home and play in the snow. Well, I ended up making lasagna last night for dinner, so tonight was easy, leftovers. Sometimes I love leftovers. All my favorite tv shows were on tonight so I tried to watch them but kept getting distracted. All in all it was a nice evening- my best friend came over and she made a loaf of homemade french bread and a salad to go with my lasagna and we had a little feast. Great evening and now tomorrow is Friday so I'm happy about that too. Talk to you all later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow Caroline, great pictures and such a good heart to help out the other mothers who had to work. No snow here in Washington State where I live just gray skies and lots of rain. Well we are called the Webfoot State for good reason. This Evergreen State is green and beautiful with the help of a lot of rain!!<br><br>Post edited by: luvparrots, at: 2008/12/10 20:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 We had our christmas dinner in work today, it was really nice.Children from a local primary school came in to work and sung carols and songs from their school play, they were so cute.We made up a little party in a corner of the canteen for them and they all went back to school full of junk,jelly and ice cream,sweets, cake. I bet some mums are nursing sick tummies tonight.I feel very festive now. I havent really had the christmas spirit untill now.<br><br>Post edited by: she, at: 2008/12/16 23:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi everyone, Sounds like you had a good day Sheila. I have my sons nativity play at school tomorrow, its a nativity but set in the 1940's so should be interesting! The kids have a busy week so like usual, mum will be playing taxi driver free of charge! They have all their school discos and parties this week and my son Brads has his Karate grading at 9 o clock on Sunday morning! I hope he passes and gets his belt! Not been up to much. I have woke up full of cold today so not feeling to great! It seems a few of us on here are a bit under the weather. Feeling a bit more festive now, roll on christmas:) Hope everyone has had a good day. Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I think you all are passing these colds around- I hope I manage not to catch one... I hope all of you are feeling better in no time. I'm having a busy day but it sure flew by fast. Tonight my brother has a documentary that he made for his college class being played at a theater along with 4 others from his class. So I'm going to see that. It should be really interesting and I'll be excited to see his creation on the big screen. Maybe one day he'll be a big time movie producer, who knows?

she Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well I am all ready for a good night out with friends. We are going for a chinese and then a good sing song in a local pub.I am really looking forward to it.The full war paint is on, the works.Its raining hear,that usually happens on the rare occasions I go out but it wont dampen my spirits,an umbrella will sort that out.Charlie and Cracker are bedded down for the night, a bit early than usual but the extra sleep wont harm them. See you all tomorrow, if my hangover allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my lovely Brads passed his grading:) He came home and told me he had failed then about an hour later took his new belt out of his bag! Always the joker is Brads! It makes you feel so proud when they do well.
