Easter In The Country

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "Easter At the Beach", but we had a nice stay-at-home Easter this year.

The main reason for our staycation was the arrival of the newest member to our menagerie - Po.

So far she has proved to be a great babysitter and these two have worn each other out every afternoon since Po's arrival.  Of course Darryn has greater aspirations for her, but for now she is a welcome addition to my afternoon feed list.  Po brings our canine numbers to double figures - more than enough for any man I say!

We also spent the Easter weekend baking up some yummy smoko's.  Heidi has mastered (as much as a two year old can) the art of cracking eggs and now every time I open the fridge she is at my side 'crack egg Mum'.  Sometimes the eggs make it into the bowl, sometimes they don't.  Sometimes our cakes/quiches/pikelets have eggshell in them, sometimes they don't.  But I am happy to have her in the kitchen with me, most of the time...

Darryn hunted and gathered for us, so we enjoyed some local caught fish over the weekend.  Heidi was also right on hand to help with the filleting - although I could hear many exclamations of 'bit smelly Dad'.

 

 

We rested...

 

We played...

 

 

We helped Dad in the shed, building Mum a new chook pen.  Some were more helpful than others.

 

 

 

And finally, on Sunday night, yes Sunday night, the Easter Bunny called in and left some chocolate for a special little girl.

 

Maybe the Mater should look into giving out a pamphlet on when the Easter Bunny comes with their take home instructions on pelvic floor exercises and breastfeeding advice! Luckily chocolate is yummy whichever day you eat it...

HAPPY EASTER
