It was long ago my youngest boy turned 9. A stomach flu came in between his birthday party. This saturday was a perfect day for a kids party though and he invited a few friends and a bunch of cousins. I decided to do a treasure hunt in easter theme.
I made candy bags with a "skvader" (a winged hare) and an egg. "Godis" means candy and "Glad påsk" means Happy Easter.
Our Halloween doorbell was changed to a dorky easter themed doorbell with moving objects and Willy Wonka song. Click on video below.
Alfons made a soo delicious layer cake. Chokolate cake with chocolate ganache and rasberrie cream in the layers.
The weather was perfect for egg hunting in the garden and some barbecue.
Below a random picture of Alfons eating with sticks.
Sunday was perfect for some work in the garden so I took care of the rasberrie hedge, clipping off the old branches. The evening was so lovely that I was late with the dinner. Cutting salad in a hurry was a stupid thing to do, I also cut off a piece of my finger. But I stayed calm, trew threw salad + fingertip away and instructed Oskar how to cook and begged him to call Johan home to take me to the hospital.
Now Im lefthanded and unable to write sew, work in the garden etc. So unnecessary :(
I hope your finger gets well soon! The goodie bags look really cute and the cake sounds fantastic...
SvaraRaderaMums, den tårtan ser delikat ut!
SvaraRaderaHoppas att fingret läker fort & fint!
KRAM, Jenny
När jag sa att Alfons borde vara med på hela Sverige bakar så frågade han om det görs på tid som i mästerkocken. "Nej då har jag ingen chans" sa han. Vilken självinsikt!
RaderaOh, you poor thing!! I hope you heal quickly, and that it's not too painful in the process. And I'm glad your son got his birthday party after all!
SvaraRaderaOuch :( Being kept from doing nice things because of an injury is awful. I hope you get well really soon.
SvaraRaderaKiitos :)
RaderaOoooooh nooooooo! I can't believe you stayed calm enough throughout! Hopefully, it will mend soon and you will be back to gardening and sewing and everything else you love to do! :o(
SvaraRaderaI do hope so. It looked really ugly though when I looked at it yesterday
RaderaWhat beautiful winged rabbits! I love it!
SvaraRaderaThe cake sounds so good! Raspberry and chocolate!
Wow, I hope your finger heals up ok.
Thanks. I used graphics from the graphics fairy
RaderaOh my o.o ...
SvaraRaderaAck, you're one tough lady!
I hope it heals well enough that you still have full range of motion.
I once sliced into my finger at the joint, and it didn't heal properly-- it's not severely limited, but it's not how it used to be anymore.
That cake looks so lovely, I love the chocolate flowers! Are they also handmade?
The chocolate flowers are bought.
RaderaI guess I don't have much to hope for when it comes to heal properly then :/.
Get well soon! :( *hugs* Sounds like a lovely day although you hurt yourself. :) The cakes looks very delicious, indeed! :)
SvaraRaderaWhoah, that's rough! :O I don't think I could have been that calm in the same situation at all. I was so sure you were going to say it happened when you were doing the hedge trimming! I hope it heals up soon and you can use your hand again - even if a bit is missing :( x
SvaraRaderaI have a tendency to be icecold when things get urgent.
RaderaNejmen stackarn! Hoppas du läker snabbt.
SvaraRaderaChokladkakan ser underbar ut :)
Tårtan låter underbart god!
SvaraRaderaJag hoppas verkligen du kan använda handen snart igen :)
Hope you are feeling better.
SvaraRaderaAnd I love the doorbell! It's adorable.
