Our morning started earlier than usual.
A mix of a certain boy losing his motherfucking shit waiting to cover his entire body in real dairy filled chocolate for the VERY FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE and daylight savings finishing so 6am became 5am and I don’t freaking care if I didn’t lose an hours sleep IT DAMN WELL FELT LIKE IT.
After managing to hog tie him to his bed to gain a few more minutes of precious peace convince him to lay with us for a while, we let him loose to wake The Damn Emos.
At 7am.
It wasn’t pretty.
Sustaining elixir of the Gods in hand, we ventured out into the crisp morning air for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt.
And subsequent Annual Empty All The Eggs On The Trampoline And Then Jump On Them Until Someone Cries event.
Followed by Eat Chocolate For Breakfast Till The Sugar Rush Hits. My kids are total lightweights with their modest couple of eggs and a cup of tea. The Golden Child and I were totally hardcore with our CocoPops drowned in chocolate milk with choc-chips.
Kids these days… fucking wimpy with their delayed gratification.
And their mocking of my Easter Decorating Awesomeness:
Easter Tree
iEgg
Harry Pot-Egg
Strong Bad-Egg
While my family – and various Ring In Emos and The Grandparental Units sat around clutching their bellies and making Mr Potato Head chocolate spud:
I went all 50′s housewife and made lemon scrolls.
OhMyFuckingZombieJesus they were awesome.
Of course.
The rest of the day was spent in various stages of sugar crash, peppered with Boo wandering around moaning ‘Brains, brains, brrrrrraaaaaaaaiiiiiiins’ while The Damn Emos and MPS played Plants verses Zombies.
My house is now littered with comatose Emos, bright shiny paper and I am hoping like fuck it is chocolate smeared all over the walls and furniture.
Ahh, Zombie Jesus Day.
Fucking awesome.
Whatever you are celebrating today, I hope you all had a day as wondrous as ours.

Strong Bad Egg Is Made of Awesome and Win.
We had an awesome day filled with several child free hours spent in the city and several more child free hours spent at home finding religion.
Am now returning the babysitting favour to my inlaws and their boys and my girls are having the sleepover of awesome in our loungeroom.
Bloody brilliant day.
i love how suburban life is an extreme sport for you. EXTREME. wonderful!

Is that sunshine in your first pic? I had almost forgotten what that looked like. It’s been raining for 40 days and nights or something up here…
Oh and I so want the recipe for the lemon scrolls please! Please do a food blog post just for them- of course you will need lots of photos so will have to make them again today

I kept my sad butt in bed until 2 pm, though I was still up before the kids. I put a bunny and peeps in their rooms then went and ate Cadbury eggs until dinner .. which is still in the oven.
Leg of lamb and crap like that. The wine has been flowing since I started on the eggs.
I may not make it to dinner.
If you have extra lemon scrolls I would happily dispose of them for you.
My daughter wanted to know how the whole rabbit and eggs thing came to be a holiday. My husband told her we celebrate Easter because some guy died behind a rock and a few days later he came back to life; scared the holy shit out of a rabbit hopping by, and then he went and had himself some eggs for breakfast.
Somehow, that made sense to him … I assume.

I am totally in awe of you, did you know that? The egg tree is adorable. I have seen the like a few times before, but the eggs on yours are quite imaginative and well done. (But, of course!) And cinnamon scrolls? How do you find the time to be so awesome?
Happy Easter, Kelley!
