Sharing some Easter inspiration.

The pink Christmas to Valentine's to birthdays back to Valentine's day is now an Easter tree.

12 days until it's here!

The daffodils are greeting me already...

but old man winter is not ready to go on vacation just yet!

Don't he know he has already worn out his Welcome?

Glorious Spring and Easter are hopping on in to Greenacre whether he likes it or not!

Easter has come early like most Holidays. 

Chicks , eggs and bunnies EVERYWHERE!

Spreading their Easter cheer.

Home to more bunnies and chicks.

All super duper ready to Welcome Spring!

Hope y'all found some Easter inspiration to Easterize your homestead.
Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Blessed Easter y'all!

The Easter bunny came a day early this year 'cause daddykins has to go to work tomorrow.

So Easter at Greenacre began with the girls opening gifts from mommy & daddy.

Followed by trying out the chocolate, foil with chocolate and jellybeans.

A little accessorizing here and there.

Working off some of the sugar.

Then the big event!

' Bestest Easter hunt ever!' 

Easter decorations at Greenacre

Easter is only a week away! Are you ready? 

I didn't realise it was right around the corner because we have been so busy with the roof and other projects. For some reason I thought it was a month away. Lucky for me I have been stockpiling the Easter basket goodies and only need the chocolate.

This morning I set up the baskets that come from Easter bunny and the Easter bags that come from mommy & daddy.

 A chocolate trail leads to the bags where the first clue for the scavenger hunt to the baskets is found

 I found these at the dollar store and think they are the cutest little bunnies!

 Cesina is a crafty girl so I filled it with craft sets and of course some jewellery!

 Funny eggs waiting to be filled.

 Alejandra's basket...

.

as far because I tend to keep adding things until the night before Easter. A solar dancing bunny and books made their way into the baskets this afternoon. Pretty soon I am going to have to get bigger baskets!.

   

    I hope you enjoy the Easter decorations at Greenacre.

The Easter bunny will be hopping into town very soon!

Spring to Summer to Spring

Mi Reina of all  'to do " lists.

Do you have one?

Spring has been around the corner for months but after trumping old man Winter... it is officially here! 

Bringing with it flowers, BBQ's, gardening, Easter and birthdays.

                             
Easter at Greenacre begins with the mass consumption of the most important Easter food group ...chocolate & lots of it!. 
Every room is adorned with eggs of different shapes & colours.
While families of chicks and bunnies moved in and took over.

                     Here one of the most popular families now!

1. I cut a paper towel roll in 3 different heights. 
2. Wrapped a piece of piece of coloured paper stock and tape.
3. Cut out ears and feet.
4. Use a pom pom for a tail.
5. Embellish

Easy to make and another opportunity to found out just how "washable" markers really are 

and for Valentina set a new personal record for how high she can reach things.

This is my Spring of 2012 as far...

Somethings will become synonymous and bring me back to this moment in time...

The sound of coffee brewing in the early wee hours,

the taste of Cadbury chocolate, 

the smell of passion fruit,

 looking at shingles, 

eating lentils , 

pinning and that feeling that you get when your jumping. 

Have you discovered pinning yet?

It's a great way to visually organise images of things your interested in with out having huge list of favourites on your computer. 

Come on by for a visit!

I've always got fresh coffee and Cesina a fresh manicure!

While searching for crafts that teach my daughters about the true meaning of Easter I came across this
