Easter Fun


My yummy easter inspired (thanks Nana) Hot Cross Bun Baked Custard!


Emily surveying the goodies in the easter baskets that were lovingly decorated by Riley.

Riley pretty happy with his score of some Chapters gift cards courtesy of Easter Bunny and Grandpa and Nana Yvonne.

Now a good reminder for next year of what happens when too much chocolate is consumed!!! (and yes this is 2 days later and they are still hyper LOL!!!)


Easter this year was pretty crazy. The day started well enough...chocolate, brekky etc and then just as I was getting dinner started I burned myself pretty badly with boiling water all over my arms, neck and face. A short ambulance ride and a long stay at the ER (where I left before seeing a doc as it was taking far too long and after 2 hours was told there was at least another 2-3 hour wait.....) we were back home getting ready for bed when I hear Brad calling out from Emily's room and when I walk in I see she has vomited EVERYWHERE. This continued every 5-10 minutes for the next 3 hours when we called the healthcare hotline and were told to take her in to the ER immediately. We called in a favour (as Riley was sleeping) and Brad and I headed for our 2nd ER visit that day. As we were sitting in the waiting room (again a VERY long wait) I suddenly became very ill and ended up with gastro.... so there we were Emily throwing up, me throwing up and running off to the loo every 10 minutes......it took another few days before we both came good again but geesh what an Easter to forget!
