My little Easter chicks

What a whirlwind weekend! We left Thursday night to head to the cottage and begin our lonnnnng weekend - which somehow never seems long enough.
Thursday- Alex came home with an oh-so cute paper mache Easter chick and a chick hat. Joey didn't have any Easter crafts BUT that's because his class was busy practising for the Easter liturgy which was FABULOUS! He still has it memorized ( ask him Nanny, he'll recite it for you ) Michelle also brought some Easter treats for the kids in these wee little rice krispie baskets. I'm going to have to remember them next Easter.
Friday - We painted eggs at Auntie Arlene's house. It went a lot quicker than we'd planned but I think it's because the kids were so gung-ho to dye, colour and decorate...and then came the glitter.
Saturday - The Easter bunny came early in the morning at the cottage and then we had an egg hunt outside at Auntie Arlene's. The kids had so much fun!Saturday afternoon Deb, Aaron and Alex made streudel for dinner. I've tried looking for a link that describes it but have had zero luck. It's a German dish, you make the dough by hand - it's a very soft dough, than you put it in a warm spot to get stretchy and then you stretch it out over a table and then flip it over into a rope and cut it into little pillows. The idea is that you get lots of layers of dough with spaces in between so they're light and fluffy. I should have taken an after pic. Next time I will.

And did you check out my FABULOUS BED HEAD in the Easter pic of the boys. Just keeping it real folks! Next time I'll edit, lol!
