HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND

You know what I love about Easter here in Australia? It is a four day weekend. That's right Kev gets Good Friday off and Easter Monday. Who can help but be excited about that? Coming from a country where you can't mix church and state it is nice to see this most sacred holidays celebrated. In fact there is nothing opened on Good Friday - something we figured out the hard way the first year we were here. The kids also have begun their school holidays for the next two weeks. We didn't make any big plans for this weekend. We just want to relax and go with the flow!

Cooper did talk his dad into a sleep over. They made a list of all the things they are going to do and I believe Sunday night is the night of the big event. The futon cushion will be moved into the play room and out will come the sleeping bags. Possibly they could camp outside - who knows. Cooper even grudgingly said Madi could join in on the fun.

Here is the list:
- play Wii in bed
- have a pillow fight
- eat chocolate eggs
- play board games
- play legos
- sleep (not sure how much, but it will happen)

Kev is so good to do this for Cooper. Whenever there is a long weekend he always seems to get talked into it. What a great dad! These are moments that I know Cooper treasures!
