Weekend Recap

Easter weekend is always a highlight of the year - long weekend, high religious significance, spring weather, and good food - check!

On Friday I went to church for our Good Friday service.

When I got home, E had left to go golfing so Q and I made rice krispie squares and some crafts my mom had sent.

I picked up E from golf and then we enjoyed our annual tradition of fish and chips for Good Friday.  We order them in advance from the golf club, they do a great job, and saves us having to wait in line somewhere.

We watched some Amazing Race and Great British Baking Show before getting to bed.

On Saturday morning I got up for a run, it was lovely weather for it. Dave went out to Home Depot for some lawn suppliers and then got to work spreading grass seed and manure in the backyard.

The local businesses were having an Easter egg hunt so we walked up to do that.  You had to mark off if the store had a bunny or egg statue, and then you also got a chocolate egg.  We also picked up some sandwiches and Booster Juice for lunch, and saw a few friends and neighbours.  And E got a haircut on the way home too.

Showing off the egg collection.

It was Q's first ball hockey game of the season and lucky him, he's on the Leafs again!  After the game, he and Dave threw around the baseball and we ran into a couple of other t-ball families. Can't wait for that season to start in the next couple of weeks.

Dave and I watched the F1 Quali when we got home, and the boys decorated the traditional Easter cake. 

And we finally got the rest of the decorations up. I brought this branch home from my run earlier in the day.

We enjoyed our Easter dinner on Saturday night - ribs, coleslaw, and roasted potatoes.  It was so good!

Easter morning - and the boys were excited to hunt for the eggs left by the Easter Bunny.

Just a couple of treats - Q also got a Mbappe kit (the French footballer, figured we needed it for our trip to Paris instead of Messi!).

And E got golf balls.

Some treats for mom and dad too.

We all went to church to celebrate that He is Risen, Risen Indeed!  And then went over to the golf club for brunch, it was lovely as always.

Donning his new kit.

After watching the F1 race, we dyed our eggs.

In honour of the Leafs first playoff game that night.

These are Q's eggs.

My eggs.

And E's.

Since we had eaten our Easter meal on Saturday and had enjoyed a big brunch, we were able to spend the end of the day outside.  We took our baseball stuff to the field by the river to do some practice.  This is also near where E has hidden a geocache so we checked on it.

We got home in time to get settled in for the Leafs Game 1.  I put together a little charcuterie. 

We were happy to see the Leafs win and were tired and ready for bed after that. 

I hope you enjoyed your long weekend as well.
