STILLS COLLECTION: APRIL SNOWMEN AND A GIVEAWAY

Sunday, April 20, 2014

Well the snow had nearly melted and summer was a whisper away only for the weather to decide we needed a few more inches of snow!!!  Anyway this snow was not like our winter snow, all dry and powdery but wet and sticky- perfect for snowmen!

 Hard at work.
 Stick devil horns of course, is that standard snowman attire?
 Doing his bit.
 We had planned to have a S'mores party outside but  the wet, sticky snow caused us to re-think our approach.
 The Annual Chatterton Easter Egg hunt.
 Teamwork to Crack (see what I did there!) the Eater Egg Hunt clues.  I fear I also must explain that my little bundle of trouble head butted the sofa arm this week and gave himself that delightfully purple and yellow black eye- oh to be the mother of boys!  

As always I am linking my Stills with The wonderful Beetle Shack and read on if you live in Canada or America- you could win some lovely books in time for Mothers Day.

  1. Okay, so the only child friendly one I could think of was my mum sitting at the window in a restaurant having supper with my dad. It's one of those "you had to be there moments" but she looked out of the window (I should probably add that the restaurant was right on the coast) and said "my goodness, that's a big puddle!" To which my dad said "yes, it's commonly known as the sea!". Her defence was that it was dark!!!

  3. One of the funniest things was after my mom finally made herself a facebook. I'd get random texts asking me the cutest stuff. "What does lol mean? What does Smh mean?" And my favorite? "What is twerking!?" HAH!

  4. One time my mom overcooked the spaghetti and it turned into a blig rubbery mess. We made fun of her so much that she refused to throw it out and actually served it for dinner by cutting it into chunks and adding sauce.
