week-end

oh yes, a looooong week-end and it isn't over yet!

with the girls on school holiday anyway I wasn't really in need of a long week-end, but well, we take what we get and of course the girls and I do enjoy having our man home all day as well, it does make a difference ;-)

with Friday being one of our first really hot days, here in Cairo, we started with breakfast outside and that's basically where the rest of the day happened. the girls declared it a family-pool-fun day! the water is still very refreshing, but we better enjoy that as it won't last long.


in the evening the big girl started watching this, after finishing the book. so total excitement while the little girl enjoyed  that :-)

Saturday Easter breakfast! first time I tried to bake Easter nests for the girls. looking good, didn't taste that great though. well, better luck next time...


while the little girl was already in the pool again we were lucky the Easter bunny hopped by and left some yummy chocolates and a fun game for the family to play.
the week-end was quite some games, as we also borrowed this wonderful game from friends and the whole family enjoys it a lot!


I found this cake recipe and well that turned out to be quite something. sure we'll have that more often!


I was greated by an oily accident Sunday morning. the bottle of olive oil crashed on the kitchen floor when the girls wanted to get their breakfast ready...

the rest of Sunday morning was spend preparing BBQ-goodies for the evening. a quick yoga-break around lunchtime, a little rest and then it was a busy house full of kids and adults playing, chatting, having a good time and yummy food.



it's also a holiday in Egypt today so one more day of family goodness ahead...I can hear footsteps now so I guess it's going to be breakfast soon.
the sun is out, there is not too much wind so it might be breakfast out on the terrace, let's see. I am sure it will be a little bit of pool, a little bit of reading and more game-playing around here.


Happy Easter!

following thehabitofbeing, sharing this special time of the week with you!
