The eldest

His favourite colour is red - you'd never guess.  I find it hard to explain to him why it is fine for the youngest to go out in varying shades of blue, but that it is not ok for varying shades of red.  So I leave it, because there is no real logic to it. 

Late, lazy start today, then headed up to the woods to collect foliage for our wreath and some decorations around the house. The wreath isn't as nice as last year and needs more work.  

Beautiful winter day today, so crisp and fresh out - although very cold!  The husband has taken to carrying a small hot water bottle in his pocket to help warm his hands. 

Boys have been a little off-colour this weekend.  Eldest refused the offer of a chocolate biscuit after eating half a piece of toast at lunch time.  Youngest ate a couple of bits of potato and some beans for dinner.  Only for it to re-appear about an hour later.  So he has booked himself 2 days off school and no longer has to be a camel in the nativity.  He is rather delighted about both these things! Hoping the eldest has escaped, as the juggle with work is tricky!
