#TheOrdinaryMoments – The Grand Easter Egg Hunt

by RachelSwirl April 12, 2020

The Easter Bunny came to visit our house last night; he very kindly left us a map, countless clues, and hoards of chocolate that the kids spent this morning collecting from in and around the house. Having spent almost an hour runnings upstairs, downstairs, inside and outside (within the confines of the legal lockdown perimeters of course) the kids now have an extensive collection of eggs. There may be a shortage of bog roll and pasta but there are certainly no worries when it comes to chocolate! As always, my husband went waaaaay over the top creating an elaborate map …

We have had the most amazing bank-holiday weekend; it has been one of the best Easters that we have ever had. The sun has shone continuously for the entire time and we are now much-like Lindt bunnies as we are golden, sun-kissed and chocolate-filled – what more could you ask for? Over the past four days we’ve enjoyed photo shoots, meals out, evenings out, time with friends, live music, egg hunts, swimming, beach walks, playing on the park, water play, garden games and time with the family – it has been absolutely awesome! The kids were spoilt rotten with easter …

They have each been spoilt rotten with chocolate, money, books and fluffy toys galore which they collected during the hour-long hunt. Eggs-cuse all the egg puns, they aren’t even bunny! Feel free to poach all my best yolks It may have taken the kids almost an hour to collect their bounty, but it took Paul and I almost two days in total to set up the elaborate Easter pursuit. …

Welcome to this weeks Easter edition of the #MySundaySnapshot blog series, a relatively recently launched blog-linky which you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. Easter has landed at a peculiar point this year. Usually we celebrate Easter during the school holidays. However, the kids were back at school on Monday, thus we’ve enjoyed a slightly shorter week and are currently in the midst of a lengthy weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I don’t mind four-day working weeks in the slightest, especially two …

I like a challenge, especially when it involves getting creative in the kitchen. To celebrate Easter, Num Noms recently sent us a rather egg-citing package.
