Well, it's all over. There was laughter and tears, chocolate and beers (sorry) and lots of Rennies consumed (we really know how to party). And a wonderful discovery that my little boy's drawing skills had progressed from random zig zags and sribbles to real facial features - eyes and noses, smily mouths and thatches of green hair. He had a wonderful time with a couple of his friends decorating eggs (and himself) proudly presenting to me Mr Rock Star complete with glitter and stars. How cute!! Now, you may be curious about the shady looking character at the back of the eggy bus. My husband's effort. You must understand that he is a trained artist, quite competitive and cannot help himself. There was a bit of a stunned silence as he revealed his masterpiece. Goodness knows what or who his inspiration was but if ever there were a bad egg sat at the back of the bus then that was it.
It felt very strange to celebrate Easter with flurries of snow every half hour. I think the only way it didn't feel really like Winter was that the birds were twittering away through the showers. I can't remember them doing that in the depths of November and December. Also, the snow just disappeared when it hit the ground so sadly no snowmen. Not one this year, yet. Despite wrapping up well, J (my boy) wasn't too keen to venture far to roll his egg so we settled for the steepest part of the garden....
Wheeee...crunch. Goodbye Mr Rock Star, hello egg mayonnaise sandwiches!
Hope you had a good one. xx
Sounds like you had a great Easter. The egg carton reminds me of an eggy camper van with Mr Mysterious in the back seat. Love Mr Rock Star and love egg mayonnaise sandwiches too!

I am sorry but I have cheated...
I have jusut bought the dvd of
I Capture The Castle ! from Amazon. I have not watched it yet as I am still savouring the box and waiting for the perfect evening to sit and indulge myself - it did get quite good reviews....i will let you know my review on it. I know it is a sin and I will probably buy the book and enjoy it more - I have done this the wrong way around!
It does sound like you had a great time...love the snow flurries.
