Happy Easter everyone!
Finally a little time to relax! 
Last night, Rick went to see some curling with our friends Dave and LoriAnn (who brought their little 3-week-old Mia with them – she’s DARLING! … and who I just realized I didn’t take any pictures of! Gosh I’m bad with the pictures when visiting with ppl! ack!) The y had arrived friday night and brought some yummy indian food with them for us to share and we had a nice little visit before they went to see some curling friday night.
Marshall and I went to Mary’s place for some turkey dinner and of course desserts! Mary made a homemade key lime pie that was delicious. There was also chocolate for Marshall of course 
We woke up to a wet snow blizzard and about a foot of it on the ground already.
Marshall was up bright and early despite not getting to sleep until after 930pm last night. He was a bit cranky at first and wanted to cuddle in our bed (at 7am) but then he got a glimpse of what was sitting outside his door that he had walked past earlier. The Easter Bunny had hopped all the way upstairs to put a basket with kinder eggs, tiny Lindt bunnies and some new books and a new Thomas dvd inside. Very. Exciting! We immediately had to read the new books to him: Fifteen Animals (Sandra Boynton), Guess How Much I Love You, and Where’s Dave. Where’s Dave was a favourite and we had to read that one 5 times. *giggle*
Then it was time for downstairs. The Easter Bunny had thoughtfully given him an empty chicken basket (with dangly legs!) to put the found eggs in. They were plastic eggs with tiny reese peanut butter eggs and mini cream eggs inside. He found all 12 eggs with a little help. The search might have been easier if the livingroom weren’t covered in toys everywhere – makes it hard to see an egg, you know?
Grampy came over with a chocolate monster truck (Grave Digger!!?? *LOL*) and a Doodlebops cd and concert shirt.
Then it was time for some lunch and some playing outisde in the snow. He’s now upstairs “resting” in mommy and daddy’s bed. This seems to be new trend in the afternoon nap – it’s a real treat to sleep in our bed apparently.

Earlier I mentioned that I was tired and doing other people tax returns in my personal time. I should have mentioned that this is by choice! You know, for extra cash. And also I can’t stand to see my family do their own returns and screw them up haha or worse: go to H&R Block …. aaaaargh!
I’ve just been doing them while watching tv mostly, unless they require more attention, in which case I’ll come up here in the office and plug into the printer.
Honestly? I still haven’t done my own! oops. *L* We’re getting refunds this year due to tuition fees and childcare, so there’s no rush.

I took lots of pics this weekend and over the last week or so to try to catch up on things… will be posting those sometime today – or tonight maybe while catching up on some tv
