HAPPY EASTER

Chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs... YUM! AND a five day weekend?!



I LOVE EASTER IN AUSTRALIA!



For Easter, Justice seems to have found a much desired Nintendo DS XL...


we haven't really seen him since...







He currently has one game - Lego Indian Jones 2.

(Another, Spyro: The New Beginning will be waiting in the PO box after the holiday weekend.)

He is so excited, as I swore I would never condone such an expensive little game console,

but the fruits of ebay and an Easter drive up to Toowoomba this year finally changed my tune.



So, Justice has a DS and is VERY open to any Lego DS games you might be looking to offload...


We have been taking the Easter weekend very easy, with Friday off,

Saturday full of hot cross buns but only two wholesale customers open,


Sunday a trip to Toowoomba, and today just hanging around home




Justice and I started our home unit on Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery today.


I was shocked when Tara told me that she had never read it! Please comment so I know if anyone else has/ has not. When I ordered the series from bookdepository.com (great prices and FREE WORLDWIDE delivery!) I saw that Brett Helquist had illustrated one of the Bunnicula subseries. I wonder, does this mean Melissa has read it ?!



I ordered the whole series from bookdepository, and then I added the Indian in the Cupboard trilogy, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler, In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, How to Eat Fried Worms, Dear Mr. Henshaw and Bridge to Terabithia.



I am so excited for Justice to read all of these favourites of mine, I keep forgetting to leave time for HIS favourites... he is VERY into Roald Dahl... but I have not bought any of those.



We're a library family overall...
I AM taking him to see the play of The BFG on May 7th at the Brisbane Arts Theatre(rescheduled from Thursday because I was stuck with too much homework)...

It will make for a lovely start to Mother's Day weekend...

HAPPY EASTER

Ugh, the blog did one of those things where the edits just don't have the same spacing as the published version... I kept trying to fix all that extra spacing, but I concede defeat...

We love the Bunnicula books. I'm reading the second one to the kids now.
