Easter Sunday

Edward and Gigi are so excited about the Easter Egg hunt.

Who do you think will find the most chocolate eggs?
First they was looking in the lounge...

Edward picked his little sister up to get the eggs from the top of the glass cabinet.

It was hard to find the eggs in the always messy study :)

Look what Jessie found one egg too on the chair in the kitchen :)

Edward is just too fast to take a photo of, while Gigi looking around her kitchen.

Jessie really enjoyed her first Easter in our family. Since Gigi got her in February, she takes her everywhere and call her little sister. So I have three kids now :)

Gigi found the most eggs.

My little monkey :)

Edward love Easter so much!

Gigi has found more under the table mats.

Same as Edward.

Our breakfast. Kids are eating chocolate balls cereal and me corn flakes with sugar...yes, I know I shouldn't put sugar on it.
Edward said it's looks like we are having rabbit droppings and bird food :)

Jessie having strawberry tart and milk.

Before lunch we was painting some eggs.

Only painted six eggs.

Gigi helping me to put the eggs in the glass bowl.

Since I was a child, my mum always made this Easter dish. It's sliced smoked/cooked ham, sausages and boiled eggs. We are have it with horseradish sauce and brioche.

This Easter food my kids favorite too.

Mothers day

Last Sunday was Mother's day.
Gigi and Edward gave me their surprise in the morning what they have made a night before.

Gigi's little card, handmade by her. I love how she always put little hearts on top of her name.

She wrapped up some of her little stuff as a present for me in a tissue paper...now I know where is all that Kleenex gone.

Poor little darling, she had a cold.

Edward made me this card with a reflecting paper inside like a mirror.
I am so happy to have such a kids like them to make a day special for me.

I don't need to say, I was in tears...

I am in love with spring

Last week was so beautiful and sunny, so I took my camera with me when I picked my little daughter up from kindergarten.
I hope will make you as happy, as did me when I took this photos.
If you click on the photos, you can see them in larger size.

Almond blossoms.

I don't know why, but the sky looks different blue in Hungary, than in the UK.
 

I always wanted to take close up photos from bees. Now I got it.





I was right close to the bees, when I took this photos. My camera lens had some pollen on it.

Was so many bees on this little tree, but none of them wanted to sting me.
I think they felt I don't want to hurt them...


I like this bee the best. Can you see his left wing is damaged.
I would love to stroke him very gently...

I am so happy for this shot!



Here is my favorite again with a damaged wing.
He come back to me to take more picture of him...
