Unexpected pleasures....

Having a gorgeous day yesterday and going for a nice walk.  Blue skies.  I love it!

Finding a laminated extra large world map for the den!  Thought we'd have to get one online, found it at a great book/map shop downtown today!!

I love it when Jess has her little girlfriends over and you can hear them chit chat in her bedroom..they were discussing which eggs are better earlier on:


"I got a bratz smarties one"
"Smarties are ok but I like the aero one "
"Barbie ones are nicer"
"I don't like chocolate mum got me a Jasmine dress"
3 voices in unison -"OOOOOO CAN I WEAR IT"

lol!!

I've got one of those in the bathroom!

Discovering that the 'unexpexted pleasures' thread is STILL longer than the 'inconvenient annoyances' thread.  Keep posting, everyone!!! 

Receiving a really nice compliment from KDVirgo 

Several people telling me how much they appreciate my help at my volunteer gig.

Well done, FunGirl!  i think that is almost more rewarding than getting appreciation at a paid, job!

My unexpected pleasure is my kids totally forgetting that the easter bunny leaves baskets on easter morning.   And my son totally LOVING what was put in his (Man U scarfe and goalie gloves among other things..) after he realised there were hidden treats.  I like when I nail  gifts for the kids.

That's an ace feeling!!

My UP, rediscovering old music that I haven't heard for years.

finding the space hopper and having a fun hop around at the park 

Attending a lovely Easter mass at Westminster Cathedral with the Cardinal!  I got to shake his hand and all.  Then DH and I went to a nice breakfast at Eat and Two Veg.  Now on for a nice relaxing afternoon...

Walked over to see dd with the wee boy, along the way he befriended a little old lady (he's always doing this) so we walked and talked with her for a few minutes and when we were about go in seperate ways, she stopped and reached into her bag and brought out a creme egg for him.

Now, that, is really sweet.   Probably made both their days! (those are the treats you absolutely cannot tell your kids they can't have!)

Awww that is the sweetest Easter story! 

Waking up this morning, seeing my dog and cat both sleeping in my room looking content and safe, and hearing the cat's cute little snore.  Like children, they're little angels (but with fur) when they sleep.
