Today was the Silcoates last day of school so the boys are now all finished for Christmas.  Their celebrations begin with a couple of nights at Grannie Cuckoo’s starting in the next hour or so 🙂

Oliver actually missed his last day of school as he had a doctor appointment at Pinderfields as a follow up to his ongoing paediatric appointments regarding his temperature issues etc.  The appointment was very late (40 minutes late) and to make matters a little worse was that we had got to the appointment nearly 20 minutes early 🙁  Anyway, he is in a holding pattern for 6 months and hence we will continue to monitor his issues over the next 6 months.

Wow – we woke up to MEGA ice on the roads etc this morning 🙁

Poor Elliot ended up falling on his backside not more than 6 feet from the garage door 🙁

The cul-de-sac and surrounding roads were ice skating rinks – as in too dangerous to walk on AT ALL.  Bruce performed a faultless 30 feet powerslide at the bottom of the cul-de-sac as we head up Constable Drive 🙂

By lunchtime, we have got rain and 5 Celcius and so the majority of the ice has now gone 🙂
