Old Spouse, New School

On Monday my beloved spouse will celebrate his birthday, I won't mention his age but lets just say that he has a considerable amount of time left to gloat about being in his thirties while I am obviously not.  So today Jacob, Rose and I baked and decorated a cake and here it is, complete with action shots.


The cake (which was delicious, thanks Duncan Hines) is early because Grandpa visited for the birthday weekend.

This afternoon while the menfolk indulged in some manly DIY activities me and the children went out for a walk, they chose to go to school (????) so I took the opportunity to snap some shots of it.  It's the big brown building in the background and also 8 portables arranged around the playground area that they refer to as the 'black top' over here.  The children seem to have settled pretty quickly, Jacob is learning to play the recorder (he's not aloud to bring it home, yeah) and has joined a chess club and Rose has got over being part time again and has been invited to 2 birthday parties already.
Here they are outside Rose's entrance door.
And Jacob's class is in a portable.
You might think that Rose's outfit, proper snow coat, snow pants, hat scarf gloves and ear muffs might indicate that the weather has warmed up, it has a little but not that much!
