Easter weekend

Unusually, we didn't see any family at all this Easter.  Instead, we enjoyed a number of mini trips and spent lots of time playing together.  The first trip took us to Ikea for some sundry bits and pieces, where Marisca chose new toys for herself and for Thomas, from Gramps (thank you great gramps!).  All have been lots of fun over the weekend.

Then, in a surprisingly fun episode, Marisca decided she wanted to join me washing the car!

Sunday saw Marisca do an egg hunt, looking to fill her eggbox with squishy eggs that Elspeth sewed and I stuffed the night before.  That was much more fun than anything chocolate related.

And finally, today we got around to the chocolate bit, and Marisca had fun making an elephant hand puppet courtesy of cousin Alice.

So, all in all it was a lovely long weekend.  I'm already forgetting what we filled 4 days with, but I do feel well and relaxed and happy with my family life, as the weekend comes to a close.  Happy Easter.
