A late little Easter blog!

Hello lovies! 

I'm sorry my Easter blog is nearly a week late! Easter Sunday in our house was a little bit hectic! How was it for all of you? 

I started planning Easter a while back, and began to buy little bits and bobs from shops and amazon. I built up quite a little bundle of Eggs, and chocolate moulded animals for the twins. Including an Easter Egg Hunt, which we shall get to later! And so far as I am typing this four days after Easter, they have still not even eaten a whole Egg out of the 14 we have to get through. I didn't think about the copious amounts of chocolate they would get from adoring relatives, or the amount they would collect on the Egg Hunt.. *Yes Toni, an Egg Hunt would imply EASTER EGGS!!!* 

I even got talked into buying them a Mr Tumble egg from tescos by Emilie. These children of mine have me wrapped round their fingers! So let's start the agonizingly long twenty-four hours that would become Easter Sunday, 2014....

The clock had literally just turned to Midnight and Emilie woke up, and she'd been sick bless her heart. So we got her out of bed, changed the sheets and cleaned her up. She asked to come and sleep with Mummy and Daddy and although normally I disagree with children being in their parents beds, when mine are ill I just want them close. At first she settled really well, and then she cried out 'Mummy' in the most feeble little ill voice ever and threw up all over mine and Matt's bed. So we did the whole get up change the sheets, wash the baby down thing and finally I think I managed about 3hours sleep before getting up with Emilie at 7.45 because she woke up and was sick again! Bless her cotton socks. It really does upset me seeing them ill, I think all mothers are like it. It's just horrible :(. 

We woke Lucie up, and she gave Emilie a cuddle and a kiss. It's so endearing how loving they can be towards one another. I love to see the love they have for each other as twinsisters I feel it's a bond that only twins will know. She perked up a little bit, and I made some breaky for us all. As the family were eating, I went and laid the Easter Eggs out in the garden and showed the girls the little green tin buckets with birdies on for the eggs. It was lovely and sunny, for all of ten minutes.

Me and Matt had to run out to the garden and find all the eggs before they got ruined! But he wasn't there to see me hiding them, so at 23years old he had his own mini Egg Hunt! Once we got inside and were drenched ourselves, I then dried off 20 Easter Eggs with a tea towel, and shooed Matthew and the twins upstairs to play for 5minutes whilst I re-hid them. In the end we did have a lovely little egg hunt in the house. But wait for an hour later it was Sunny again! Pffft.

 In the afternoon we went out for a meal for Matt's grandmas 80th Birthday. It was lovely and all of our family were there, and everything went rather well. Emilie was getting better, but the only time I left her she threw up all in her dinner and I felt so guilty. So we left Lucie with her Nana and Grandad and brought Emi home to get changed. 

Later that night we'd had no sick incidents since the one at lunch time. Until we put Lucie to bed and she threw up! This was a shock, as Lucie hasn't thrown up since she was a baby. She's like her Mummy and nothing makes her throw up. But she took it so well, and came out of her room took herself in the bathroom and asked me to clean her up and change her sheets! Sometimes it shocks me how grown-up they are. She's only three! It made my heart go 'ping!' a little bit. I adore their cuteness. 

She went back to her bed on request, but she was sick again. So after another clean up, she came into bed with me and was sick within half an hour! So we were up again, and she was getting really sad.  I gave her some big Mummy snuggles and tried to make her feel better.How do you explain to a toddler why people get sick? 
Luckily neither of them were sick again after that (We think it was a 24hour thing), but my washing machine felt a little overworked from so much sheet washing! 

Did you have big plans for your Easter that didn't go as you'd hoped? How do you spend Easter? :) 

Thankyou everyone, for reading and I'm sorry this is so long and rambly but I did warn you it was a looong day! Please feel free to +1, comment and share!
Until next time lovely blogger folk,
