More Easter Fun
Easter wouldn't be Easter without chocolate nests filled with mini eggs.
The boys worked together to make them this year which was lovely to watch.

Practical Panda
That's me!
My new business which I launched today. I'm a Virtual Assistant so doing administration, customer service, project management, purchasing, among many other things as a freelancer for individuals and small businesses.
It is completely bespoke for each customer and very flexible which should suit both me and the customer.

Easter Fun
On Thursday we took part in a couple of organised local Easter activities.
In the morning we were at the National Glass Centre where Chops and two of his friends made some Easter cards using some very cool light sensitive paper! He wrote and drew inside them himself. The picture inside the one for Grandad was a 'beautiful daffodil with petals and leaves and a stem and some grass' :) Talking about it, he'd remembered a lot from a book he's got about flowers, buds, roots erc. He constantly amazes me with his knowledge and understanding of things.
In the afternoon we went with another friend to Penshaw Hill to roll eggs. The boys had both painted them and Chops enjoyed rolling his down and then climbing up to the Monument. It was the first time I'd been to the top and I was amazed by the views. Could see the snow-topped Cheviots, the sea and of course, our house!

Another Little Chef
Roly was very serious about his pizza!
He copied us stretching and squashing the dough. Then (with help) spread the tomato and sprinkled the herbs and toppings.

Outdoor fun
We've been outdoors most of the week this week making the most of the unseasonably warm weather.
It seems so weird that within a fortnight we've gone from big coats to shorts! No doubt it will soon be over and we'll be back to shivering!
This week we've visited Saltburn, Seaburn, Roker Park and Chester-le-Street Riverside Park.
Parenting is so much simpler in summer!
