It's Easter Sunday! Christ might be risen, but frankly I'd prefer not to be woken up at the crack of dawn by Amelie jumping on my head and asking for chocolate.

As things stand right now, I've already taken part in five Easter Egg hunts, been out twice in the pouring rain, and eaten enough buns to raise the national rate of diabetes by about three percentage points. Amelie has declared the living room to be 'World of Porridge' after Toby chucked his breakfast across the floor, and I've discovered that if you let your toddler eat chocolate all morning, he's unlikely to want his lunch. I've cleared that up off the carpet too.

But in the midst of it all, we've achieved one reasonable family photo...


It beats this one anyway...


It says a lot about the general chaos of our family life, that the hyperactive toddler with violent tendencies, who can scream in your ear like a banshee as he slaps you in the face and throws Megablocks at his sister, appears to be the peaceful centre of calm in that picture.

Of course, if you leave it to Amelie to direct the photo shoot, he can look like an angel too...


Or a girl, depending on your point of view.

I thought it was an old photo of Am when I first saw it.
