Easter 2010

Struggling today and writing things down in case in the future I forget what happened on the run up to April 6th 2010.
4th April last year was Easter Sunday. Previous years I've done an Easter egg hunt for the kids in the garden. Jade always joins in although the last couple of years Callum has been 'too old for all that kid stuff'. But Jade and Kieron always shared everything 3 ways anyway. So last year. I suggested it but none of them seemed that interested, so instead I decided to re-paint my lounge.
Kieron and I had been to B&Q the day before to get the paint. I wanted the same colours that were already on the walls as it just needed freshening up. Typically when we got there I couldn't find the right shades. Kieron to the rescue, reading every paint can until he gave a squeal of "I've found it!". Being a gallant young gent, Kieron insisted on carrying the paint, one can in each hand while I tried to banish thoughts of dropped tins, lids off and paint everywhere. As I had just bought him new trainers and he had put them on in the car, I was rightly concerned.
So, back to the painting on Easter Sunday. Kieron helped me to pull out the furniture into the middle of the room. He hoovered under sofas and discovered stray Lego, pencils, biscuits and other mouldy delicacies. Kieron just had to get involved and his presence turned a chore into a pleasure. We had the best Easter Sunday that I could have wished for.It was a fantastic day of love and laughter. Kieron made sure that the cats were kept out of the way so that they didn't get painted too. He kept me supplied with coffee and cuddles and kisses while I worked.. He kept me alive.
