Sunday was of course Easter Sunday so I hid the eggs that the boys had received from friends, family and us in the garden so they could go on an Easter Egg Hunt. They loved it so much they asked me to hide the eggs so they could do it all over again! This afternoon we went to OH’s parents for their annual Easter egg hunt – yet more chocolate!
(Bank Holiday) Monday the boys enjoyed playing with Jenson’s new toys. My Mum, Nanny and Step Dad came for a couple of hours to give Jenson their gifts as they didn’t make his birthday party as my Mum has had the flu virus. Mum gave Jenson this (loud) guitar and both boys enjoyed strumming it and being ‘rock stars’
Tuesday we played out in the garden for most the day and Jenson was given a little gardening set and he tried out the watering can – great fun!
Wednesday I took the boys to the park to meet up with a friend we didn’t stay long though as it was very cold and there was a sneaky cold wind. Tonight the boys stayed at their granma and grampy’s which was just a swell as the boiler packed in – the flame wont ignite! It is very cold!
I had a lie in Thursday morning until 8.30am with no boys to wake me up (yay). I headed over to see them at their grandparents at lunchtime where they had lots of drawings to show me. Here are some that Jenson did.
Friday the plumber came out and said that the part we needed was not available in our town! Luckily OH came home last night so he went off to Exeter to get said part. It meant we didn’t have any hot water either so I gave the boys a bath in the kitchen sink – something I never did with them as babies. Burton LOVED it but Jenson did not and he stood up and got out fast, whereas Burton would have stayed in all day had I let him!!
Luckily for the boys and I it was warmer and sunnier outside than inside so we spent most of the day in the garden and enjoyed our first picnic of the year when we had our lunch outdoors. By the time we came indoors the boiler had been fixed – hurrah!
Today has been another sunny and fairly warm day so we have played out side for most of the day again and enjoyed another lunch picnic in the garden and Daddy joined us for it today. The boys did so many things outside, bouncing on the trampoline, playing with the swing bat, kicking the balls about, digging up the stones in the drive way and messing about on the slide – here is Burton running down it!! *boys!*

Thank you xx
Thank you xx
The Easter egg hunt looks like lots of fun. Yay to the sun finally some nice weather
Love the watering can picture! Looks like you had a great week (except having no hot water..)
Ella loved bathing in the sink and there were a few times when we went in the kitchen to find she’d climbed in on her own! I soon stopped forgetting to empty the washing up water!
It’s lovely to see some sunny photos after all the snow 🙂
Jensen looks like a little rock star with his guitar. Love the egg hunt photo. Bet they loved all the choc afterwards.
What a colourful set of photos . baths in sinks .. So very 197os
Photo 2 looks a bit unhappy .. A sultry rock star in the making .
I love , love the easter egg hunt x
The kitchen sink one made me smile. Lots of lovely photos xx
I love the focus on Jenson’s face- a gorgeous photo. It’s typical that the heating goes when it’s at its coldest- what a fab OH you have! I love the photos of ours being bathed in the sink- it really is something you can only do when you’re little!! x
I am loving the hat!! x
Loving the hat too! Glad to hear your boiler is fixed – hate having no hot water. I love the watering can photo – he looks like he’s hoping something will grow from the stones!
The third and fourth photographs are just too sweet! I also LOVE that hat!!! Love the watering can photograph and is that a monkey he’s holding?
lovely kids!
Not a good time of year to be without the boiler. I’m glad you got it fixed fairly quickly. Love that shot of Burton taking a bath in the sink. He’ll probably remember that for ages.
Fab pics, love the bath in the sink! Think I might gatecrash your egg hunt next year if that is what you get! 🙂
ronnie would love a guitar like that! any chance that there’s a volume control???
Glad your heating is fixed! Looks like a fun week for the boys. I love the photo of them on the big swing at the park x
Gosh what a busy week! Love the sink bathing
I use to bath my 2 in the double sinks we had way back then, much easier on your back than a bath. slides are more fun to run down than slide. hope the pebbles grow now they are watered.
I just lerve that hat. Is it a lion hat! What lovely big eggs they have found in their Eater Egg hunt. Lucky boys!
Great photos, I adore the third one – what a great hat!
I can’t believe how Jenson is changing all the time. such a big boy now! Your garden is great, who needs a park when you have a garden like that, I bet you can’t believe that you lived with your yard for so long! x
OMG a LOUD guitar..he does look like a rock star!
They are growing so quickly. Is that a George monkey in his hand?
The bathing in the sink photo brings back memories of when I was a boy. My mum has loads of photos of me bathing in the sink.
They’re growing up so fast and it won’t be long until they want a real guitar and drum set
The kids loved having a bath in the kitchen sink when we had a new bathroom put in! I didn’t enjoy it quite so much!
Bathing in the sink is SO cute!
Fab set of photos. They look so relaxed on that swing.
I’m glad your heating is sorted now, must have been horrid not having it, especially with two small boys. xx
Gorgeous & colourful photos, I really love the lion hat, so cute!
Stunning photos as always, I love the colours in your shots, they jump out at me. Glad to see the week was a busy fun packed one too, let’s hope we can put the wooly hats (as lovely as it is) away very soon
Oh sorry to hear your boiler packed up!!
The pic with the guitar is so cute!
