Easter fun

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter we've been very busy here the best part of Good Friday and bank holiday Monday were spent working on the garden digging up the old path and building a vegetable plot poor Steven has not stopped! Every spare bit of time we have is spent trying to finish what we have started at least we'll be able to enjoy our efforts this summer. We did take a break on Easter Sunday and had a nice day spent with family.

These baskets are what I did with the children from playgroup this one is Emilys they made the baskets and then decorated a cupcake to take home.

Heres Emilys Easter bonnet she really did do most of it herself apart from the daffs I just stuck on lots of doubled up sellotape and let her with help from Elliot stick on what they wanted from the bag of Easter bits.
As you can see she really enjoyed wearing it.
These are Emilys latest colouring in by numbers pictures she's got through a whole book of pictures in one week I just had to put them on here I'm really impressed with how shes coming on. I'll have to look out for another book for her.


Easter Sunday after dinner we had a egg hunt around the house, lots excitement and chocolate was eaten.

I got some more egg decorations this year so I'm quite pleased with how my Easter tree looks.
This cute little bunny was 99p from the charity shop.

Can't believe that the end of term break is nearly over it seems to have flown by so going to make the most of the last few days we have . Hope you enjoy whats left of it if your children are off.

Easter and a parcel in the post!

I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone whose made the effort to leave me a comment on my blog it's really nice to read your comments and I hope you all re visit my blog soon. I hope you all had a really Happy Easter!

Before I went on holiday I entered Jessica's jug giveaway and to my delight when I got home there was a message waiting, I'd won! I haven't won anything for donkeys years so I was really chuffed! Look what the postman brought me this week the cutest jug you ever did see all beautifully wrapped in pink!

Jessica also put in some extra goodies these pastel mini egg decorations some pom pom decorations and some really pretty lace trim and ribbon. (not pictured) It was so nice to receive something from a fellow blogger I've been admiring her blog for a while The White Verandah it's in my favourites list do go visit it's lovely.

Thanks to Jessica I had enough eggs to do an Easter tree it's a bit bare I've seen far better ones on here but at least I made the effort hey I shall have to look out for some reduced decorations for next year.

We had the family round for Easter dinner Stevens parents and my Brother and Sister In Law and guess what we had?......... Turkey! I know not very Easterery! We had a turkey left over from Christmas don't ask it's a long story. Anyway after tossing several saucepans around my tiny kitchen whilst attending to the needs of my two young children and turning my kitchen into what looked like a bomb site it turned out very well! It even snowed outside while we were eating just to add more Christmas to the occasion anyway it was nice to all get together and we now have loads of turkey leftover! So it's turkey for tea, supper and Stevens pack up!
