Lovely to hear how you love your house. Home is what you make it no matter how humble.
We have loads of snow here too. The smalls early bath and warm PJs sounds fabulous

Morning
School is closed today. Really strange as other than the wind it doesn't seem as bad as during the week.
DS wasn't happy it was closed as he was looking forward to the extra attention for it being his birthday. Double glad I didn't spend on dress up for book day now!

Tonight is a planned takeaway (DS choice as part of his Birthday!)
Haven't really got much to do today. The house is clean and the smalls are now playing. DS is happy with his gifts. Although everyone has cancelled and isn't coming visiting now. Oh well he has those who really care here. I'd be more understanding if the weather was really bad here and they where staying in. However they are out about pottering elsewhere because I've seen them. Anyway their loss. Don't know why I expected any different.
Have a good day all and keep safe and warm
