One boy and his sled

TPD won't let us have a dog ;-)

Alternatively titled "The best-laid schemes o' Moose an 'men gang aft agley" (apologies Mr Burns!).

Had planned a red balloon blip today in honour of number 200. Snow arrived overnight and I thought "Aha! Attach balloon to sledge, go for the action shot". Sadly child wasn't feeling desperatively cooperative (and tbh the balloon was pink rather than red). I slid down the hill on the sledge holding the balloon, having instructed TPD to photograph me (bit of a cheat, but could have worked). Unfortunately Son Two took that moment to become most dischuffed with being out in the snow and fell asleep, in TPD's arms. Terribly sweet but v poor timing!

Got some pics of TPD and Son One bombing down the hill, but they were into the sun and a bit far away. Need a longer lens really, but sadly I doubt Santa will be forthcoming.

Other things we've done today include taking Son One to a (very poorly attended in the end) footie tournament. They had a laugh though, and TPD got to join in at the end. Took both boys to get there feet measured - no change in either, yay! Went to the local food market, mountains of cheese, bread and snorkers for lunch. Son One and I baked stained glass window biscuits this afternoon too. No wonder I'm knackered!
