Girly fun on Easter Sunday

There were no chocolate bunnies or eggs to be found in our house this morning...rather, we greeted one another with the traditional "He is risen;" "He is risen indeed" Easter salutation. What a glorious unveiling of God's redemption plan! After the morning church service at which we had a guest speaker by way of Alfie Orr, we took a Dominoes lunch to the Botanical Gardens. We're feeling the need to soak up as much autumn sun as possible while it's available...and it was a magnificent day. The boys fed our left-over crusts to the ducks although it was the ubiquitous sea-gulls that snatched them up with gusto and delight. We extended an open home invitation to Andreas and Danielle's place (say what??) and were glad that Rene, Bron, Grant and Petru took us up on it. Andreas and Danielle graciously played along, providing cookies and coffee and apple tart (we quietly ate the tart while the kids were watching a DVD in the other room, heh heh). The four of us ladies got on to a discussion of what to do with Lynn's hair as it was getting seriously blah but I didn't quite know how to fix it. Had an idea of going reddish so we looked at styles and colours on the web, then started bringing out styling products and having fun...Bronwyn is quite the expert at the back-combing thing and after mucking about with my fine hair she demonstrated on her own mane just how effective it can be for adding volume and height. We were nearly rolling on the carpet in hysterics...thanks Danielle for the set of photos!
