Easter Egg Hunt & New Hat

Well it lasted all of 5 minutes. Detta, Miles and Donovan had their buckets ready and away they went. Eggs were hidden in the family room and the front room. Everyone was really fast in finding them. As everyone was munching away on their eggs, we had a fright. Miles was running to the garbage spitting one of the eggs out. It seems one of the kinder eggs was hazelnut!!! But he is okay. The one with the toy Miles will have but there are lots of other chocolate eggs he can eat.

I finished my newest hat last night, the Celtic Knot. It is a tight fit but Kath and I can both get it on. The fairisle part is a bit tight even though I knitted very loosely and carried loosely. It is very pretty but I am not particular happy with the ribbing part which is actually knit/purl rows.

Dino Eggs

The eggs are hatching! The first two photos are from last night. Donovan's egg hatched this morning. We are still waiting for Miles'.

I met Kath for breakfast in Bowmanville. It was very good, I had a Monte Cristo, the ham was quite lovely in it. Then we went to our now favourite wool shop, Soper Creek Yarn. I bought some patterns and yarn for my next hat. Kath got two lovely books, one was paid for by her first prize gift certificate in the knitting contest - the tea cozy. I can't wait to look at the books, they are really interesting.

I have a new phone, YES!! It still has the same number, still pink and it is a slide phone. Detta loves it.

Easter Dinner

We had a great dinner over at my sister, Annes. There were 15 of us which is smaller than usual. I actually didn't over eat for a change, even though I nibbled at stuffing all day. Miles and Detta ate some dinner but I think Donovan just filled up on Kinder eggs! Miles then ate piles of chocolate eggs, it was hard to resist with all the eggs on the table. Kath made some great deserts which were gluten free. I like the chocolate and raspberry cake but I think I would have to add some chocolate syrup. There was lots of turkey left over so I am going to have a turkey sandwich with stuffing which Anne made.

Miles and Donovan were given these dino eggs which we are going to hatch. We have put them in water and now I believe it will take two days to hatch. I will keep you updated.
