Oh what a holiday!!

Easter weekend has been and gone. Lots of chocolate and eggs everywhere in the house. Every time I turn I see another bowl of half eaten chocolate or a small Lindt bunny, looking cheerful with his red ribbon and bell around his neck. Sam said he felt a little poorly this morning and this he might have overdosed on Easter egg!
We had a Granny convention on Easter Sunday. Mum came over with Granny Mary and Granny Cleo. We had a big roast and sat and watched Marry Poppins in the afternoon. Poor Ben had to work so he had his roast later.
Tamsyn decided that the Easter Bunny had come first thing Easter morning. She had woken around 6:30 and looked out my bedroom window and she couldn't see any eggs, (as Ben had gone to work there was room in my bed for a small one) but when she finally woke up again at 9 she looked and there were eggs all over the garden, in the hedge and around the courtyard!!! She was so excited and couldn't wait to get out there and collect them all up in her basket and bunny bowl.








Ben had to work again on Easter Monday and Andi was called back into work as well so the 'family day' together day didn't really happen as planned. In fact it went terrible wrong as just before Andi came back from work at about 7:30 we herd a thud from upstairs and then Bradley Bean came down and very calmly said "Aunty Karen I think I have broken my arm!!!!" when I had a look at it, it was well and truly broken and was sticking up in the most horrible angle I have ever seen !!!!!!! We sat on the stairs for what seems like a long time and waited for the ambulance to turn up and give him gas and air and strong painkillers and take him off to Derriford hospital. Poor little thing, he was so brave and didn't cry at all,even when he was in hospital and they were moving his arm around. Sadly it was so broken that on Wednesday he had to go back to Derriford hospital for surgery!!!! They put wires in his arm to hold it all in place and have put the biggest bandage I have ever seen on his arm. It would appear that he was on the top bunk bed talking to Tamsyn below and had leaned down to see her and slipped off breaking his fall with his arms outstretched OUCH!!!!! I have ordered him some lego Star Wars to make him happy, he can play and build lego one handed!!
The bunk beds have now gone!!!!! I got Ben to cut them in half and we now have two single beds in the girls room and I think I quite prefer it.  It also means that when we have other children over to play I don't have to panic!!
