Snatches of a very good day at home and abroad.  

Or at home abroad as the case may be. : ) 

Easter weekend was chillier than usual this year but we determined to spend it outdoors nonetheless.  We took the children to Oxburgh Hall for a scavenger hunt around the grounds and throughout the hall itself.  The especially delightful part was that the event was sponsored by Cadbury which meant there was a hefty chocolate egg at the end of the hunt. That kept them all going though Abbie Rose had a few moments which tested her resolve. 

The story of the estate needs its own post and it will have that God willing. For now….

These were responsible for my humming, "One ha'penny, two ha'penny…" all. day. long.

The boys did the easter egg roll while the little girls got their faces painted as what else? Bunnies.  There were the ears after all. 

We spent a few hours at the estate and then headed home where we had our own egg hunt, because you don't mess with traditions around here.  

Dinner, most of which was in the crockpot/roaster deal all day or easily made fresh. Carrots didn't actually happen at the last minute. We didn't make a plethora of food since there was all that chocolate and the pie. 

Simple and silly.  They had a very good time.  

I missed my boys.   A lot. : )
