The last of the egg-ventures?

I am surprised that we are still able to do some real Easter egg hunting here. The Easter Bumny is around, it seems!

Little Miss has been searching for Easter eggs in her room, because a friend found some in his room. She did not find any, but there were some in the garden...

The friend said he planted some small eggs, and got a big Easter egg the following day. Guess what happened here? The same! Can you believe it?

The Easter Bunny even left a note!

We had some Easter egg hunting here tonight, and the Easter Bunny is going to come around very early tomorrow morning. (One of the perks of complex living!)

Are you still doing Easter egg hunting, and at what age does it stop?

The Easter Bunny made a couple of rounds

It has been such a great weekend of having the chocolate bunny come around a couple of times.
He was in and out in a whoosh, and each time left a couple of chocolate eggs!
He even came for a quick visit while we were camping last weekend.

I love the way she gets excited about a bunny with chocolate eggs, and the way our family is playing along while Big Sister has the task of hiding the eggs.

It is a family tradition worth keeping, and I hope we will be able to keep the mystery and the story alive for a few more years!

I hope you had a happy Easter as well?

Looking forward to Easter

Today is Sweetie Day at school, with the Little Missy's class selling sweets and cupcakes, generating a bit of income for the class.

As usual I was not cheering from the sides, eager to start baking those cakes...  

That's why I had to drive to three different shops last night to find the right cupcakes, and that would not cost me the last of  my month's food budget. 

I got a "bright" idea to put Easter eggs on top of the cupcakes and call it Easter cupcakes. 

(In my world I am proud of my achievement! Working Mom win!!) 

AND my little one thinks it is great! She helped with putting sprinkles on, and handing me the chocolate eggs. She also scored one to eat!!

Dad had to go and buy beer to get us the box
(He did not have any objections ;-) )

The previous week they had chickens hatching at school. They watched the eggs the whole week, and on Thursday the chickens began to appear. Very sweet!

Look Mom!

Luckily the chickens were enclosed

The children all got a turn on Friday to hold a chicken! Very sweet!

Happy Friday!

Easter weekend - Done!

Easter weekend is done and dusted! 

As is a quarter of this year! (Where's the brakes?)

It was such a lovely looong weekend with the family! 

We had a Easter egg hunt in the garden, and afterwards all the eggs were divided amongst the little ones!

For once we could threaten: "The Easter bunny is not going to come if he sees that you have not eaten your food!" (It worked!)

I wish I could keep these special times frozen. 

The awe and the excitement and being with them...

This is the best time right now!

I do not wish for her to grow a day older!

The rest of the weekend was spent in shopping malls to search for winter clothes for the student and toddler.

We also did some tablet gazing after Hubby got himself a Samsung Galaxy Tab for work!

I am now a very excited owner of an iPad!

(How guilty do we feel when we buy something for ourselves?

Even when I buy much-needed clothes for myself!)

Now, does anyone know how to blog on Blogger from an iPad? 

What have you been up to?

Wordless Wednesday #122 - Easter egg time

The Easter bunny came round

Where are those eggs?

Even the teens helped with the search!

This is what the Easter bunny brought us!

Guess when I went to bought my share of the Easter eggs? Only this morning. The shelves were nearly bare... Luckily there were still some white eggs (white egg with chocolate on the inside) and of course Kinderjoy. Always a winner! And our friends had the real Easter bunny chocolates to share!

Hope you had a nice Easter as well?
And tomorrow we get to sleep a bit late on this long rainy weekend! Yeah!

A rainy looong weekend

It is rainy here, and it seems that winter is making an early call this year! Going to the Mall we see everyone dressed in their warmest winter woollies.

Lovely weather for a long weekend! A bit of sarcasm here, but we awarm potre making the most of it! A  of goodness is stewing on the stove (thanks Hubby) and we are watching Ironman and the Toddler is catching up on some afternoon sleep... What could be better than this?

We had some family time with the niece and nephew and the grandparents yesterday! I do love Easter time! It is a time of reconnection with family and thinking of Life reborn...

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! We’ve got Monday off as well! Sleeping late is not an option! It is a necessity! Recharging our batteries...

Easter eggs tomorrow! Officially you are allowed to eat that chocolate! Enjoy! (Wink smile)
