voyage in the 'sardine princess'

Firstly, in case any ones not had a chance to enter my give away, here's a link so you may do so
 We have had such a wonderful long weekend! Today we went to see AJ and Kane at 'The pines' a little beach town they were staying at. They bought this little boat at a garage sale for $50 not knowing if it would be sea worthy or not! Luckily it is, we had a great time paddling about. Kane called it the sardine because its so tiny we need to pack in like sardines. Aj lengthened the name to sardine princess as a joke because often giant cruise ships have 'princess' in their name, and this little baby is far from a luxury cruise boat! Mia the dog came for a little paddle with us

What a sparkly and magical adventure it was:)

Easter was lots of fun, we went to my Oma and Opas place and had breakfast in the garden with lots of my cousins, aunts and uncles. The kids had an egg hunt and we all enjoyed the morning sun and warmth. Their street is lined with beautiful autumy trees. Leaves were scattered all about  so I collected some and brought them home to preserve with beeswax.

On Thursday I made easter baskets with the day care children (those that weren't on holiday already) For our egg hunt I hid for each of them- a rock painted as a ladybird, a yellow pom pom with a chick face, some water cress seeds and three mini chocolate eggs. They loved it all especially the lady bird rocks ( wonderful idea from here) and also having their very own packet of seeds. We planted their seeds in egg shells, they are in the picture above.
