Easter Eggs...

Well, turns out, I'm not the worlds greatest blogger. Considering my blog's been running for about a month now... SORRY! Jake & I have both had a really bad flu and I was off work last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Still not feeling 100%, but a lot better than I was. We both had temperatures and really bad chests. It's not fun feeling sick, when you've got a sick child to care for aswell. Fortunately, Jake loves watching movies, so we lay in my big bed and I slept while he amused himself. Life's been quite busy lately and I'm dying for a couple of days without plans laid out. I definitely need to book a weekend off for myself and just laze around the house and do fun things with Jake. His all time favourite place is the Aquarium and we can honestly visit there every day and he'd be happy. He loves the freedom it offers and I just let him run wild while we're there. For those who don't know, kids under 4 get in free and an adult's annual membership costs R130, which considering it costs R65/visit, is a bargain. We practically live there when we've got time. Other than that, not a lot to report on Jake's development at the moment. He swallowed a bit of water at swimming last week and has decided he's not getting back in the water. It's holidays now for 3 weeks, so we're going to have some fighting to do when he goes back again next term. He's eating really well again, so I'm also guessing we're in for another little growth spurt. He's almost as tall as I was when I was 4 now. Easter's just around the corner now and Jake's SO excited about the bunny coming to visit. Every time we go past Easter Eggs at the shop, he just about jumps out of the trolly to point them out. Last night, I showed him the cross on Tygerberg Hill and told him that the cross was there to remind us that God loves us. He turned around and said "and for Easter Eggs". Seriously, he's obsessed - I don't know what I'm going to bribe him with after Easter! Thank goodness it's his birthday next month. Lots of love to you all xxx

Hi Susie
I am enjoying your blog - and am pleased you added another post :)
Sorry you have been ill.
Hope you guys have a wonderful Easter with lots of eggs.
Easter seems to be a huge thing here in Canada, with the big family meal and an egg hunt and presents...I think this Easter bunny must have won the lottery or something, but it must be lovely for children.
Have a great week!
