Easter days have come and gone, but the candy lingers on... We had a suitably delicious holiday, and hope you all did, too. We took Jim down to the town egg hunt at the fairgrounds again, and he loved it even though it was REALLY cold and windy. As soon as we got there he was tackled (literally) by three of his friends from school, and had a more dignified, 'Hubbell-man' reunion with Tommy and Colton. Then the whistle sounded and all was chaos. The eggs - thickly strewn on the lawn with no attempt at concealment - were quickly snatched up, but before the kids' enthusiasm could die down the Easter Bunny came hopping through, throwing candy from his basket and collecting a mass of tiny followers.
We spent the rest of Saturday dying eggs and resting. Sunday we spent with our friends Chuck and Kayt, sans her girls who are with their dad for the holiday. Kayt made us an incredible easter feast, and we spent a nice, quiet day hiding eggs, playing board games, and stuffing ourselves with the wonderful food.
Jim is on spring break, which is a nice if strange change of pace. Kirsi is getting big, and the box of 'too-big' clothes is getting small. I had a case of the sniffles today as I packed away all the little things she's grown out of - remembering that these too, not long ago, were in the 'too-big' box. Jimmy and Kirsi's relationship continues to flourish - he actually asked if he could feed her the other day. But the sibling rivalry is starting as well, as Kirsi begins to demand inclusion and Jim just wants to be left alone. I can't quite get him to understand that even if she can't play pretend with him, she can still wander around and through the fantasy without ruining his day.
