A big Happy Easter to everyone.

Another landmark for the year has approached, so we are now well into 2007 already. 

I don’t know about your house, but in ours it doesn’t take a genius to guess what was on the breakfast menu this morning.  Yes, chocolate, followed by more chocolate with a side ordering of chocolate. 

Even sadder is the fact that I have been begging the children for some crumbs of chocolate, forgetting that I had been bought one by my boss.  Oh well keeps mine for longer.

I don’t have a problem with the children pigging out on chocolate on Easter Sunday.  My own mother reminds me of the time when she couldn’t find me on one said morning.  It had gone that ‘danger quiet’ you get with children.

She found me behind the chair having opened ALL my eggs, surrounded by foil and plastic cartons merrily stuffing the chocolate.

I decided, as a parent, that any rules about chocolate on Easter Sunday have to go out of the window. 

I must admit though that apart from the initial unwrapping of eggs and cramming in the first few mouthfuls of chocolate my children have never really pigged out like I used to.  I even have an Easter egg left over from last year that they never ate. 

I only found it last night - chocolate going to waste, what a crime!
