Chocolate overload!!!

Man the problem with easter is the vast amount of chocolate given to small children which is far too tempting to a starving mother!!! ROFL Even though I was supposed to only eat one marshmallow egg, I blew it and ate this too....

By joves it was good but. Kids generously kept giving me bits of their eggs too ;) I have pics of masses of chocolate, eggs in hiding and eggs being found. Even a few LOs to share as I am scrapping like a fiend which has one major downside, my stash is rapidly depleting! ARGH!! I need a shopping splurge AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!(Dh's wallet)

We decided to give the kids their eggs from us on sat nite, mainly cos their grandparents were descending on 2 days bringing loadsa chocolate with them, and just as well we did. These eggs were a decent size - well Quinn cleaned his up in less than 10 minutes!!! Faster than i coulda managed it I tell ya!

Sunday afternoon Dad and WSM came out and brought the kids the hugest eggs - do you think Q was pleased??? Love the look on his face.

We did the easter egg hunt in the garden too.

Made me laugh, I snuck out to hide the eggs with Roxy following me, well when the kids went out to find them she showed them where they were all hidden! They were very pleased the easter bunny had been so generous.


Monday, Peter's mum and his brother Michael came up laden with more chocolate - funny that! Michael kindly fixed the cursed rattle on my car - he had some new apprentice mechanics.

Onto scrapping.... I scanned a whole pile of pics of the kids as babies and decided to start scrapping them. This is Q aged 2 days in the NNU. He was born breathing snuffly and they wisked him off there, he ended up having a hole in his heart and a narrowing of his aorta which thankfully he grew out of. Anyway the Dr's named him the Mighty Quinn and i have been meaning to scrap a LO about it for ages. Here it is, not very babyish but kinda works.

Another Q page, this is more recent. Q has really gotten so confident in the pool this summer and these are my fave pics.

Next for a change of pace a bit of a vintage one. This pic is Peter and his brothers and sister many millenia ago - MIL can't remember wot year. L to R Michael, Brian, Josephine and Peter and their assorted calves at the Masterton A&P Show circa 1971. PP Cosmo cricket.

I did well at JC yesterday, another 800g off totalling 4.8kg in 3 weeks! Just need to get walking more.

Well that's about all from us. We are having a quiet rest of the week. DH has an interview on Sunday, please cross everything for him.


Happy holidays!!
