Chocolate + Children = Chaos

Ok, so we've just survived another Easter.
To be honest Easter doesn't really rock my boat. Ever since the whole chocolate allergy thing when I was growing up (and way too much carob! yuk!) easter has lost it's charm. I now indulge in chocolate but seem to have lost the ability to eat way too much of the stuff (and then feel sick for the rest of the day). My niece and nephew on the other hand... oh they can knock back the chemically charged brown stuff like the best of 'em.

Hmmm.... kids with too much sugar and chocolate in their system.
It would be a waste to let all that excesss energy go untapped. What game should we play to help burn off those calories?


Tee hee :)

Of course that only lasted for about 30 minutes. Mum and Dad may have a big house but this little blighter is amazingly quick with a vacuum!

So it was outside to play in the hammock. The girls weren't too keen on Callum joining them and so tied him up (as you do).



Apparently this was more fun than you'd expect, so Callum asked to be tied up more.



And after he escaped that lot he came back for more (wriggly little blighter!).



What a great way to spend Easter. Nothing beats a good ol' festive hog-tying.

A few hours later this is where it had progressed to:



Yes he escaped that lot too. He's a little Houdini I tells ya!
