Can we go out and play?

Snow today (unfortunatly accompanied by gale force winds)- both Euan and Ivy were itching to get out to play. Ivy even appeared with her wellies and a hat at one point and looked hopeful- so she got to go out to our slightly sheltered front garden for 5 minutes in a lull. It was hard to persaude her to come back inside again- she doesn't appreciate being cooped up. 

We decided the weather was too awful this morning to even take her out to bouncy castle, so instead we've set her up a ball pit in the living room using her baby sleeping tent to contain it. It's brilliant as a ball pit- far better than one designed for the purpose, since you can zip her up inside it and it's the most exciting prison ever.  

Ivy tripped over her own feet whilst running about like a mad thing and cut her lip. It didn't even bleed very much- I expected worse from a lip- but she didn't half look grizzled. Here's how cute she was just 5 minutes before.
