Day 51 and Day 52

So yesterday we spontaneously visited my Mum and Dad. Florian got home at 11am, I made him come on the bus, when I tested the road it was too slippy for me and then it started trying to snow, so the bus was best!
Once home we were chatting and I said "Dad still hasn't got his internet working" and Florian said, we'd better go and visit then. So we did, poor Mum and Dad were not expecting us, but I think they enjoyed having us there! ;o)
But before we set off, we took the boys to "Old McDonalds" (yep, they sing the song too) for lunch. Bit of a hiccup there, when the toy from Robert's happy meal turned out to be a bracelet with hidden lip gloss! But they changed it for him...(I won't say that Florian chose the toy, cause that would be embarassing for him, so shhhhhh!!!)

My brother and family came round too and we all went out in the evening for a meal, it was good. Unfortunately Dad has an evil virus on his computer, that may or may not be gone, but has caused some damage (as in IE won't open, can't install firefox, and all sorts of other blue screens!), Florian managed to bypass the problem, but it isn't really solved...

This is the kids at the restaurant, they were all four as good as gold, and that even though it was way past their bedtime. They slept all the way home bless them.

Sunday
Well, even though the boys never got into bed until 10.15pm (in the car at 9pm), they were still wide awake at 7.30am. I got up with them to turn the TV on, and I did a double take when I looked out of our bedroom window at this!!!For me, that is a nightmare! 20 cm in the night! AGH!!! And me hoping for spring! (somewhere on that picture there is a road...!!!)
The first thing I did (after turning on the TV for the boys) was take pictures all around to send to Mum!
Then I got myself dressed and out there to sweep the paths!

This afternoon we went for a little walk to Kindergarden with the bumslides for the boys. It did us good to get some fresh air...
We also took a couple of family photos, I'm going to post both, cause I like them both.(Richard was not happy on the last one, he wanted to push the timer button and we wouldn't let him, so he refused to look at the camera, seeing as he couldn't get out of Daddy's bear hug!

It was the "Hutzelfeuer" tonight, the big bonfire to chase away winter..but as the boys were so late to bed last night, we didn't want them being late again today, so we didn't go. Plus it is really muddy and wet up there, not ideal for standing around. Much better in here in front of our logfire I think!
CU tomorrow
