Dotti was most impressed with William's decorating efforts. William decorated the patty cakes. And he painted the boiled eggs with food colouring. The patty cakes were meant to look like mice - but I guess Will's artistic efforts got the better of him. Jane helped with the baking of the mud cakes - one is for a friends family I will deliver in the morning... if nothing ghastly happens to them tonight in their plastic containers I will put up very high.
A hug sometimes just is not as good as a cake. But it is a pleasant second. Thanks Jane for helping bake!
Dotti and Rocky show their appreciation and best manners to William.
Rocky and William both seem to eye off the same cake. But that is the one we are giving to our friends!
Crocodile eyes look exactly the same as this... exactly......I hope to spend Easter Sunday on the water at Awoonga with the boat and ... bbq etc.. but if it continues to be windy it just isn't as fun. All my friends are either working or have plans... so this time I haven't invited anyone.
Moth caught a crab today - and other than baking we went window shopping, played with some irrigation hoses and sprinklers with the garden, cleaned a deep fryer gifted to us from a friend who had shoved it under her house when it delivered horrible results to her family (hmmm.. thought there huh!) and generally relaxed and just enjoyed the days. Nothing spectacular - nothing dramatic (does arguing with Anna who thinks at 16 she should be allowed to go out every single night count maybe?) but just how I like things. Calm and happy, and nothing too stressful.
A girlfriend forgot Good Friday means no alcohol to be purchased - and we were able to "rescue" her with some. I drank wine on her ocean breeze verandah admiring the ivy... while Moth and William caught yabbies in the low tide for bait.
So - if we do or don't go to the dam for water/boat play tomorrow - it wont matter. We have suitable cakes, pretty eggs and chocolate to consume. And at either Awoonga or at home - I am going to marinate and grill some vegetables to counter balance our.. excesses... mostly inspired from the always interesting Ginnie
Happy Easter... I wouldn't really change a lot with mine. Maybe it would be nicer to have family closer. Maybe it would be nicer to have lots of money. But - we seem to be having giggles and fun... just the same.

William did an excellent job with the eggs and cupcakes. Sounds like you have a wonderful Easter planned, Melly!
Happy Easter Melly! The cakes and deserts and eggs look wonderful! The doggies and kiddie are very cute as well ;0)
Giggles and fun are the important things - the rest is details. Happy Easter.
And where's the Easter ham?
It's the biggest deal around here this time of the year, you know...
