I like tradition. I like the link to the past and also the idea of doing something that you have always done. We are not terribly religious, but one thing my family always followed was no meat on Good Friday, and it is a tradition I continue now with my own family. I think when you marry there is a constant comprimise of traditions - some you take and some you lose, but you can always create new traditions which is what we have done today.
I have seen around blogland that lots of people have new pyjamas for Christmas morning. I have been thinking what a fabulous idea that is as it is one of those mornings you are always photographed in your PJ's. So too is Easter Sunday - so this year the boys all got new PJ's. It is a good time too as we are heading into colder weather (hopefully- it has been unseasonlly warm). I also wanted to get a photo of them all together in their new daks but I cannot believe how hard this always is. This was the first photo - 30 odd more trys did not get any better. Maybe the photo tradition can be only one shot - like in the olden days!
Hope you all have a lovely easter and enjoy your traditions.
We had a lovely afternoon today with good friends at a park. The boys all had fun - and while it is still hard work I am longing for the day that I dont have to chase my little monkeys from their daredevil antics and we can just sit and chat while they play. Not too far off.
Did someone think there was a shortage of eggs or chocolate at our house?? Apparently so, because we won this - from the Pub!! We so rarely go out (and infact when we last did the big squirrels meal didn't even come) and on a whim I actually filled in the entry forms. I was trying to win a bike. Now I will have to buy one two work of all this chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!
This started in the spirit of water conservation- but has taken on a life all of its own. Benji prefers this to the real bath and he will sit in there for ages - longer if we would let him. Of course Spencer cant stay away too long.
And I would love to have this at home -
I can't believe i put these two pictures together - but there you go.
Its been a long and fun filled day today and while its only early we are all tired. The easter bunny stole our extra hour sleep this morning (daylight savings ended) - so early I didn't even get a chance of a photo of their new pjs! We went out for a lovely breakfast- the streets were deserted - thats how early we were. We arrived home and had a great easter egg hunt in the back yard.
