Its the Easter holidays so Poppy is at home with Mommy, though we have all had a few outings together this week. Emma, Lee and Poppy along with Lily went down to see Nanny Seaside on Good Friday resulting in a 6 hour journey as the get away to Devon got underway. Thankfully the same journey in reverse took 3 and a half hours as they started a bit earlier and the traffic was not so bad. I`m told they had a nice time at Torquay visiting Nanny, Grandad Dave and Oscar the dog. Poppy got a ride on a donkey, even if the weather was rather cold, and she enjoyed herself at the disco, joining in with the other children and having her photo taken with two large animals (people dressed in costume!) She had an easter egg hunt in Nannys garden, placing her chocolate eggs carefully in her bucket watched over by Nanny, Mommy and Daddy who stood encouraging her to find the eggs as fast as possible because they were freezing! Unfortunately the weather this Easter certainly did not manage the heatwave of last year and it has been very cold. Pops received lots of Easter eggs, and even a special Easter present from Aunty Kim in Australia of some little chocolate animals in a tin which looked like rabbits. She even had a chocolate Gruffalo from us!
On Tuesday afternoon we all went over to visit Michelle and the boys. Poppy was sitting down colouring before we even managed to get through the door of the living room, joining in with Ryan, Rhys and Owen and the two little girls they had visiting that afternoon. Before we knew it they were off playing hide and seek, when Emma went to find them when it was time to go home she discovered Poppy and Ryan crawling out from underneath Michelles bed, their hiding place in the game! We were all hungry on the way home so decided to get fish and chips to save cooking. Poppy was very lucky to go home with some chocolate that Michelle had bought her for Easter. Apparently Rhys had already eaten nearly all of his Easter eggs!
Wednesday afternoon Emma, Poppy and I visited Marg and Rich, my sister and brother in law. Poppy was very lucky to received some Easter gifts from her great Aunt and Uncle so she was soon sitting on the floor drawing pictures on a small blackboard. We had to leave about 4pm as Lee rang for a lift from work so we made a detour to pick him up and Poppy was very excited when Daddy got into the car. She was not quite so pleased when he started pinching her cheesy biscuits though! As Poppy said "cheeky Daddy!!"
