Well there have been a few Fridays pass and no blog post.. big oops on my part and although I’m sure I could dig up a wonderfully creative excuse I think I am best just to say “oopsie daisy” and start a fresh! hehe

It’s been a busy few weeks but I’m glad to say this week has been relaxing, however  it has still flown by at the speed of light! It’s been a super short week as Craig took today off work too. The sun is out and it’s a beautiful day out there but I figure I should catch up on my blogging while Grace naps, will head out for a coffee and walk later on.

I hope a good Easter was enjoyed by everyone and that their weren’t to many sore tummies from chocolate overdose. I came through Easter with most of my chocolate stash in tact. I have never been a chocolate lover and when I was a kid you could always find my Easter eggs in a bag months after the event had passed. I did however find “Pineapple Lump” marshmallow eggs this year thanks to Mum, scrummy! I think the appeal is that they don’t resemble chocolate marshmallow eggs but just huge pineapple lumps. If I find some more at the supermarket I shall stash them for later

We had a busy old Easter, hoped for a relaxing one and although it was super enjoyable it was over too fast due to our commitments each day.

On Good Friday we decided to take a day trip over the Moana at Lake Brunner and catch up with the in-laws. It was a fun day out and Grace enjoyed her first trip out in the family boat. She got so excited when Craig put the throttle?? down and took off. I see she’s going to be a speed demon like her Nana hehe

Saturday was enjoyable, in the morning Grace’s Granddad popped in with Easter treats and in the afternoon her Nana visited with even more sugar! hehe but luckily they both hung about to entertain her and burn off some energy too

Sunday was relaxing, I was in my P.J’s until 4pm as I potted about preparing dinner for that night and watching Easter movies. We had the family over for Mum’s birthday dinner that night and was nice to catch up and enjoy Easter together. I made some wee Easter baskets up for Grace and her cousins, the bunny ears were a hit! Not a particularly great photo of the girls but you try photographing 3 little tired bunnies

Grace’s first chocolate egg and I can tell you it didn’t last very long! 

Sharing Easter eggs with her new bunny toy.    

Over the weekend there was lot’s of hut building in the lounge too. During the past few weeks there has been a large cardboard box that has been used to make huts but Grace and Craig upgraded to the living room furnishings over Easter! hehe

There was also baking with Mum, most of which was successful except for the Pavlova! hehe I had a friend over for a cuppa and got a little distracted when I was cooking it, but Grace had a blast licking the beaters the first and second time! hehe Luckily the second pavlova was just delish!

I also had some fun whipping up these cupcakes for Easter. Chocolate cupcakes with green grass, little chocolate bunny rabbit cookies and mini Easter eggs.

Well I trust you all enjoyed your Easter! As always I hope to create this weekend so may be back to share something but don’t hold your breath! hehe
