Connor gets a new pedal car....

Connor, my little Natterer boy, so wanted to take his new pedal car into the garden now that Christmas is over, but it had been drizzling over night and the garden was quite damp, so he had to play in the hall!  The other boys all wanted to admire it and even have a go at driving it, but unfortunately they are all a bit too big to fit in!

Everyone is standing around waiting for "the off!"....

Ice and lemon with that?

Early this morning it was a chilly 9C here and when I looked out the window I could see the trees were glistening with damp and there was a big plate of ice on top of the cover of our hot tub!  OK, so it wasn't thick ice, but it was ice all the same!  It looked funny seeing our trees full, not only with lemons and oranges, but their respective flowers too...and then the ice! 

When Alex saw the ice, he immediately wanted to put on his new duffle coat and go outside to see the ice!  Living here in Spain, he'd not seen ice 'growing' in the garden before, so he wanted to touch it and see how cold it felt!  And yes, it did indeed feel COLD!! 

Then he jumped up and down on the icy sheet breaking it all into tiny pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle!  But then we had to go inside because already his little bare hands were getting cold and his new boots were starting to get wet, we didn't want the leather ruined!!

Alex can hardly believe his eyes...."ICE!!!"

Stomp, stomp, stomp!!  Alex breaks up all the ice!

Alex wishes he had some skates!

But skates or no skates, Alex did have fun stomping on the ice!!

Life's a Beach...for Alex!

Alex enjoyed his time at the beach and just wanted to share some more photos of himself playing in the sand....
