I'm Dreaming of a White Easter

I got up at 4am to get Sam a bottle to find that the snow had arrived; rather than the pitch black of night, everything had that purple hue that comes with a night-time snowfall.

I have to admit that that I still find snow rather magical, and had quite a difficult job getting back to sleep after that; when I did drop off, I dreamt that it had all melted by the time we got up. It hadn't.



It was my turn to do the early shift, and I'm glad that was the case as I definitely saw the best of the snow; by the time Doug got up at 9.30am, it was starting to melt in earnest. As I type this now, the sun is shining and the snow is disappearing fast.


But the boys did manage to get out and play a bit in the snow before their cold hands and noses forced them back inside. They had a great time making a snow vampire (Jacob's obsession with Scooby Doo revealing itself again).

I'm just making easter sunday dinner - roast chicken, all the trimmings - and then we're going to have an indoor easter egg hunt. They've already been enjoying their easter eggs:-


And continuing with our easter theme, here is Jacob's offering from nursery:-


I think its supposed to be Calgary :) Jacob was giving me his take on the easter story as he'd heard it at nursery - it involved Jesus being put onto a cross and then his skin shut up in a BIG CAVE. He especially liked that bit, I think it reminded him of Scooby Doo.
