Happy Easter & Happy Birthday


 Sunday April 24th  Happy Easter

A glorious sleep-in. A perfect way to start Easter Sunday. We have chocolate bunnies to eat, but today we’re off to celebrate L’s 5th birthday. It will seem a little weird without S –cuz I know she would have loved to have spent the day celebrating with L.

They had all sorts of goodies, but my favourite were the tiny teddy race car treats. Components: mini-milky way chocolate bars, tiny teddy biscuits, Smarties, fruit tingles and a tiny dab of icing. Construction: 1 milky way, 2 Smartie wheels stuck on with icing, half a fruit tingle as a steering wheel and a tiny teddy driver. Delightful!

Roast lamb and veggies for lunch.  A chocolate race car track Birthday cake, complete with licorice bullets (milk chocolate covered cylinder-shaped licorice pieces-YUM) along the edge. I had my fair share of them! I love licorice bullets. Then S opened the raspberry licorice bullets and I got into them as well. Prolly not my finest dieting hour.

Cheese platter with biscuits for a mid afternoon snack. A bit of friendly dancing competition with Just Dance on the Wii.  Good conversation and lots of laughs. Soon, the grand-parents called it a day, and it was just the 5 of us.

We settled on Eagle Boy pizza for dinner. S and I headed out to collect the food and she gave me a quick tour of the area. She showed me L’s school and where he takes swimming lessons. St. Mary’s is bigger than I thought.

Too much pizza later, G and I headed home.

A Quiet Saturday


Saturday April 23rd

After yesterday’s festivities, it’s lovely to hang out in the lounge and relax. I know we have another big day tomorrow, so I decide to spend some time catching up on my blog. With all of the things happening these days, it has definitely taken a backburner.

Round about 4pm- after an easy afternoon in front of the TV- we head out to get some groceries and see what the rest of the world has been up to. Then, back home for dinner and a few episodes of Dexter.
