Seven Cures for a Confectionery Overdose

School holidays and confectionery overdose.
There is only one possible solution - throw them outside (suitably wrapped up) and let them burn off the sugar.

Yorkie Bar Egg = climb a tree
Bag of marshmallows = ride scooter around the patio in ever decreasing circles whilst wearing shades.
Two bags of Maltesers = over generous Grandparents and a walk around the allotments.
Mini Caramel Eggs x 2 = competitive bunny hunting at Burghley
Moshi Monsters Egg = make funny shadows in the garden
Chocolate Bear = self portrait I'm saving to show her therapist (JOKE!)
No more chocolate = cinema and Wreck It Ralph in Candy Land!

Hope you managed to keep some chocolate for yourself this week ;-)



Join The Boy and Me to see what they've been up to this week.

Five Go Bunny Hunting at Burghley

Hip hop happy days.
Cold? Yes.
Fun? Yes.
Hop(p)ing the bunnies are at Burghley Sculpture Gardens to stay? You bet.

Think we'll be getting a season ticket again this year :-)

Silent Easter Sunday

365 Project Week 15 Round Up

From being spied on by the Easter Bunny to being spied on by the Wee One, I have been watched this week.

 
Watching to see if I drop a crumb of chocolate. I didn't.
Watching how I make muffins.
Watching to see if I saw that epic goal being scored. I only looked away for a second.
Watching me from the skies. Satelites? Spooks? Who knows?
Watching incredulously as I photograph a wheelbarrow.
Just watching me. Cheeky boy.

Don't forget to go and see the best 365project photos of the week at The Boy And Me.

Notes on Easter

Here is a list of what I have learned this Easter.

• The Wee One prefers milk chocolate. So that white chocolate egg we bought him will be next seen reincarnated into some muffins.
• There is such a hobby as coach-spotting, and coach-spotter-spotting as invented by me.
• Cadburys chocolate aggravates my eczema. Lindt dark chocolate does not.
• The Princess can not only write her name but can also phonetically spell it.
• Felt-tips do not make good lipsticks. Actually I already knew this but the Princess has now learnt this all for herself.
• I prefer pot roast to normal roast.
• The Wee One can inhale an Easter egg.
• The Big One can eat his own weight in chocolate, bounce on a trampoline and not throw up.
• I am a photo-editing android app geek. Sorry Sam for boring you senseless ;)

Not bad for a few days of Easter family loveliness.

How was your Easter and have you got any chocolate left?

365project Week 14 Round Up

The first week of the Easter holidays and by virtue of this post we have survived.

There has been washing

of glasses after the night before,
sheds because you can
and teddy because you must.

There has been lighting

of fires,
a spring in the step (boing),
a sparkle in the eyes reflecting off shiny foil wrappers
and a glimmer of excitement from a found key to a lost case.

Hope your Easter has so far been fun-filled.

I'll be off now to check out the other 365projects at The Boy And Me.
