Wishing, and hoping, and thinking, and praying
We were going to go away to the beach and stay in a cottage (girls too young for camping), but have decided to stay at home and do stuff round here. Will have an egg hunt on Sunday and lots of gardening, as DS got a 10' tramp for his birthday and it needs a place to sit! We will also be reflecting on last year as it was the time Jake was going downhill fast and we had our last Easter with him. Looking forward to spending this Easter with our twin girls - might also go out for a nice lunch over the long weekend. What will you be doing? Seems like a good time for a catch up with friends as well.

As little as possible. I've actually got Easter off, so we are going to just relax around home and get a few odd jobs done. Good Friday we are going to a local winery's family day. They do it every year for the Children's Hospital appeal. Other than that, no real plans. Might catch up with a couple of friends.

We're going to visit my mum and step dad who we haven't seen since Christmas, they live about 450km away, I can't wait, I miss hanging out with my mum so much.

This is a Formal Cheese occasion.
DD is off to a holiday house with her Grandma and all my rellies. Normally I'd be going too, its one of my favourite weekends of the year but I am moving house so DPa and I are using the time to pack. Hoping to have this assignment finished by then. I'm also working the Friday evening.

Tidying the house for four days. Sounds horrifying but it's actually bliss for me as we don't get any time to do it after working 70 hour plus weeks (except Sundays see my other post on the messy house topic for my b**ch on that subject )

Kids will solve puzzles on Sunday morning to get chocolate eggs. And... er.... oh, um... Nope. That's all.
