For once the weather was just PERFECT this year for Easter and we were able to have our egg hunt outside in T-SHIRTS!!!! :) How wonderful!!!!! :) No snow - the occasional puddle is all!! :) It was so lovely to be able to hunt for eggs at Easter outside - normally it is too snowy and wet and we end up repeating our egg hunt in the Summer to be sure we get at least one wonderful egg hunt on our land per year (although at least we get to have great friends join us for THAT one lol).
We had our egg hunt in the evening (after a fabulous Easter roast dinner) at about 7pm and it was just lovely - the children found the eggs and then we all went inside and watched the movie 'Bedtime Stories' with Adam Sandler - very clever and funny movie - and they got to eat some of their candies while we watched the movie!!!
It was a lovely end to a wonderful day!!!
Easter Monday didn't go as planned - we WERE going to the zoo - but we ended up having such a late night on Sunday that all the kids were tired - the weather wasn't as nice as the weekend - they had originally forecast 12c but it ended up being cloudy and then got cooler and with darker cloud but the wind was COLD and then the weather warnings came in - and they forecast snow and cold for tonight and tomorrow and it was just grey and windy all day - and the wind just wasn't pleasant - so we decided to delay the zoo a week or two.
Lloyd and I ended up going in to town - I got some new Spring clothes and we went for coffee and parfait at Starbucks. Lloyd and I washed the windows at the front of the house (oooooh SO exciting hahahahaha! But they were sooooo dirty and dusty from the work the workmen have been doing). Then Lloyd started filling up the potholes in the driveway with gravel.
Chris got it into his head that he wanted bbq chicken pizza from the Fire Hall Diner so he wanted to cycle there and get some - no matter what the weather! Crazy boy! I gave him the money and off he went!!! I told him to call and find out if they were open! He was soon back as they were closed! He ended up making a pizza we had in the freezer!
We had some friends drop by today and I finally got to show someone my new kitchen :) Yay........so nice not to have workmen here - as nice as they are lol!!! No cardboard on the floor! No mess! No dust (well not much anyway lol) and even though the kitchen isn't anything near finished, it was still nice to have friends over! I will just be happy when its finally OVER and DONE with and I can have friends over ANY TIME!!!!! You know this work started late last Summer and it's been difficult to have anyone over since then - but mostly since the work started indoors.
