"Here we go again...
I'm sure they'll be expecting some fun snow activities again today.
I suppose... the three of us may try and make an effort. They seem to enjoy it so much.
They even bought a plastic discus sledging thingy yesterday.
And it only happens a few days each year. At best. Ok... ok... let's make a bit of an effort. Luca, Finn, are you with me on this one?
Parenting* isn't always a bed of roses. Let's get it done and over with.
We are taking Mum and Dad sledging again today..."
Mimi - 5 and 3/4 - 20 January 2013

We did get quite a bit of mileage from the 15 euro plastic discus sledging thingy we bought yesterday. The handful of families who had fun on the slope yesterday must have shared the secret location with a few chosen few, who shared it with a few chosen few, who called 98 FM to boast about it. It was a lot busier today. It was busy already the first time we got there. And realised that Dad had forgotten to put the anoraks in the car... It was busier still when we got there for the second time 35 minutes later. With the anoraks this time.
