Easter Weekend

"We had a wonderful Easter weekend! We decorated 2 dozen Easter eggs in bright colours! On Easter morning, we had a special bunny pancake breakfast then went outside, hand in hand, for a memorable Eater egg hunt."

This is what I would like to write about our Easter weekend; but none of that would be true (including the above photo I selected randomly on Google Image).

Oh well! There is always next Easter, right? The truth is we had a mediocre weekend. Aimée was under the weather and cranky. I was exhausted. The weather was not very good. Consequently, we hung out indoors and had a quiet weekend. I did not have the energy to hide a bunch of eggs the night before (while holding down an excited dog), only to carry Aimée around in one arm and a basket in the other collecting all the darn things the next morning. Instead, I simply placed all her Easter surprises on the coffee table.

We were very happy to be invited to Cindy and Hannah's for dinner. Cindy had prepared a Bunny pudding craft. It was fun and Aimée like the ears the best.

This morning, I thought I had closed the baby gate securely. Clearly, I had not and Aimée has a radar for open baby gates. Once again, she got into the dog bowls. She loves playing in the water, watching the kibble float, then eating the wet dog food.

"What does incorrigible mean?"





"Just a few more, then I'll stop"

"I feel a little wet, Maman."
This afternoon Aimée helped Little M celebrate his 1st birthday by playing with all his new toys.

Girl chat with Hannah.

Il ne faut pas être triste Michelle car je pense qu'Aimée va juste apprécier encore plus son prochain Pâques avec les beaux oeufs colorés...qu'elle va pouvoir faire elle même car elle va être assez grande!

J'ai bien ri avec les photos de la nourriture de chien. Elle a un petite face de ''non non c'est pas moi, c'est l'autre qui a fait ca'' !!

Elle est vraiment craquante !

Your dog is just a little cutie! For some reason I thought he (she?)was a lot bigger.

The boys have discovered the water bowl and make a beeline anytime I am foolish enough to put one down in the kitchen (baby not water dish). Fortunately we keep forgetting to feed Shadow, so anytime we do remember to put some food in his bowl he is hungry enough to gobble it down right away, or maybe he knows he has competition... The babies do love his rawhide bones, the splinterier the better, and will crawl away from a pile of toys to get one.

Very funny start to your post. At least you didn't go somewhere to meet a giant deformed Easter Bunny...

By the way, the boys decided they didn't want to eat (babyfood - cookies and dirt still good) anymore a few days ago... until I pulled out the spoons you gave them. Now they are happily feeding themselves (at about a 1:10 ingestion to decoration ratio). Definitely favourites, thank you again!
