Fun!

So far during the school holidays I have had an absolute blast!

Mark and I crazily agreed to have some kids come and stay with us. What originally was to start out as 2 kids quickly turned into 11 in total! Yep, that's right...11 kids all staying with us during the same time and all under the one roof! The word had spread and I was fielding calls from kids near and far wanting to come and stay. We had trailers of motorbikes, scooters, pushbikes and enough toys being delivered by eager parents that I was getting nervous thinking these kids would never be going home!

Here are some pictures of our fun time together...

 Gotta love fake teeth...kids had a ball with them at Corey's 7th Birthday Party that we had for him!

Showing off their finds from our Easter Egg hunt...this was heaps of fun and I am so glad I bought these little eggs! The older kids didn't want to be seen by any of their friends in the photo's joining in with the hunt! Teenagers!!!

Some of the girls ready to make Pancakes for morning tea!

And, just plain old swimming!

Not to mention hide and seek in the house (even I joined in), the pain in the brain I was suffering from the never ending sounds of motorbikes zipping all around my house for hours on end and the MASSIVE piles of wet towels I had to pickup, wash, dry and find for bath time or swimming!

At the moment I am on the Central Coast visiting with my cousin and her family...and boy have we been having some fun!

This is a little taste of what we have been doing...but I won't be elaborating just yet on what they are for but I think you will get the drift.

Well time for bed for me...heading back home in the morning and I will need a good night sleep!

Decorations for Easter

Talk about scoring a bargain...or 2 or 3 or more!!!

Bed Bath n' Table...one of my favourite stores, had a massive sale...50% off all their decorations for Easter!!!

Now, I normally don't decorate for Easter but I just couldn't resist these goodies!!!

(sorry about the bad light...left it too late in the day)

My hubby just about had a fit when I came home with all this shopping.

"What is that thing??" he exclaimed...(Knowing I couldn't hide it from him - even though I tried)

"What thing??" I replied...(trying to shift his focus)

"That stick thing??"...(He doesn't like it)

"Oh, that...It's an Easter tree and I am going to hang these fake Easter eggs from it"!!!

"Don't you just love it??" I said enthusiastically

With a shake of the head and a roll of his eyes I knew I had to come up with a better reason then Easter decorating for my purchases...especially for the stick thing.

&

Here are my reasons...

1: I can use the 'stick thing' at Christmas time too!

2: The 9 children we have staying with us from Wednesday will LOVE it as much as me!

3: Instead of having an Easter egg hunt for real eggs, which will make them sick we can use the fake eggs which also won't melt in the sun!

4: Did I mention they were all on sale???

His reply...."Ok, the eggs...great idea, but the stick thing...even if it was free I would have left it there"

Oh well, I guess he doesn't like the tree...but funnily enough when our visitors came over he gladly showed 'the stick thing' off in all it's Easter glory!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter with your family and friends...we did!

PS: Yes, 9 kidlets will be here for a week with us during the holidays...

PSS: Yes, I must be crazy!

Basket of bunnies!

Wishing you all a Happy Easter!

These furry friends are just to cute to not post a picture of them!

Oh and thought I would share this cute little bag too...

As I detest and refuse to wrap presents and because my resident wrapper (hubby) will only be convinced to wrap Christmas presents I only buy bags for gifts!

I love this one...and it has given me an idea for Christmas too!

all sweetly glued into place!

Me like...lots!!

Don't eat to much chocolate!
