Who Lives in a ship like this?

HAPPY EASTER

After breakfast today, Huffle and I sent the boys onto the Porch while we hid eggs and made up a treasure hunt.

The hunt started up in the loft where they found mini eggs, Swiss wrapped eggs, a couple of cream eggs, kinder eggs and some surprises. One of their clues was "The animals went in two by two......" They thought for a while, looked through Smallest's CD's and then found a tin Ark. "Oh Noah's Ship!" they said. They found a couple of eggs cuddled up with Smallest's Smelly.

After they found them all in the house they went outside and found some in a birds nest, next to Big Baby Cyril, in the basketball net and down the bottom of the back garden.

Some were in the car and the mailbox and finally in the Compost Bin, which actually said give to Mummy but they didn't.

We had a play in the garden, with the football and Swingball and then ate our lunch on the porch in the sunshine. I had an idea about bringing a rock from the back into the front for our stepping stones. However, the rock was very large and very very heavy. It took four of us, three bits of wood, two shovels and a huge tarpaulin to heave it to the front garden, dig it a hole and get it in (it took a long time but it does look good).

It has been a beautifully sunny day, a bit breezier than yesterday but a good day. We got a bit more of the garden done, the boys have a bucket full of eggs which we will steal some of later when they have gone to bed - not really ;)

We all had a nice Roast Dinner which Huffle and I cooked while the boys biked up and down the road until Smallest fell off and scraped his arms, head and tummy because Small stopped unexpectedly!!

Tomorrow Huffle is back at work and I have the boys off with me.
