Frosty Fairy Garden

This morning dawned bright and sparkly with thick frost covering everything - the first real frost so far this winter. Hannah was keen to get outside and spent a happy couple of hours building a fairy garden, exploring the ice on the pond and feeding the birds. We have robins, blue-tits, goldfinches, sparrows, blackbirds, great-tits, wagtails, and yesterday we even had a sparrow hawk!

The pond was frozen, and the ice on the bird bath by the pond made a perfect lego friends skating rink -

and the bright berries on the hedge made the garden seem very festive.

Hannah is already very excited!

Lego And Loom Bands

This weekend has been all about Lego and Loom Bands.
 Hannah spent some of her savings on a new Lego set which she is really enjoying. Her previous Lego has all been Lego Friends, and as much as she likes them, she really wanted a set with 'real' Lego people in it. She chose one of the 3 in 1 sets which makes a cottage, an indoor scene or a garden scene (or anything else you'd like to make really).

We also picked up her Lego Crocs that we had ordered - adorable,

and  have watched The Lego Movie. Hannah made seats and popcorn for all her little people so they could watch the movie as well.

I have to say that this movie made very little sense to me until almost the end (when it was slightly redeemed by a touching father and son moment) but Hannah enjoyed it and I think daddy did too.

It came to my attention via endless Facebook pictures and you tube videos this week, that we must be the last people on earth to have discovered Loom Bands! So I bought some just to see what the craze was all about. Who knew rubber bands could be so much fun? They are awesome, we may have gotten slightly carried away though! Must buy more bands!
