What a lovely day we've had.. brunch at Smiths was delicious as always. We parked the car near St Pauls and walked across the footbridge from St Pauls to the Tate Modern. The weather was pretty reasonable - patchy sun and not super cold although quite windy.
Mary Catherine and I had a great time waving to the boatloads of tourists while on the bridge - most waved back. The slides at the Tate Modern were really cool. Mary Catherine decided that the small slide was just too scary, so we sent Andrew down so we could say that we'd done them. The biggest slide looked most excellent.
We didn't get to see the Gilbert and George exhibition, but it's on until May - so hopefully we'll get back to see it. I decided that it probably wasn't appropriate for Mary Catherine. She's very aware of letters at the moment and I just didn't think it would be good for her to possibly recognise them in curse words. I'm all for her seeing art - but I drew the line at C U Next Tuesday, know what I mean? (example here - up to you if you look)
My favourite moment of the day.... We were walking through the Minimalist section on the 5th floor and I noticed that Mary Catherine was fiddling with her tights. All of a sudden - right in front of my favourite Mondrian, Mary Catherine hikes up her skirt and shows me that her tights had slipped halfway down her bum. Yes, my four year-old mooned the Mondrian.
Good times, folks... good times. More pictures from our day here.

 Well, well, well - it's actually snowed in London! When we woke up this morning and peeked outside it was gloriously white. Mary Catherine woke up soon after and was thrilled when she saw it all. This will be the first snow since she was two months old, so certainly the first that she thinks she's ever seen. She wanted to go out immediately and play. We managed to hold her off until we went to get in the car.
The Atlantian in me wasn't too keen to come to work this morning. Snow where I come from means going to the grocery store, if you're brave, to stock up on toilet paper and milk. Not getting in your car, all business as usual. It looks lovely, but is certainly lacking the joy I remember when I was a child of a true 'snow day'.
Heck, I even listened to the news and looked online for school closures. Uh - yeah. Not a jot mentioned! We're supposed to get more this afternoon and I gotta tell you, this Southerner will be out th'door at the first sign of more than 100+ flakes!Labels: London, Snow
