Happy Easter!
Addison's second Easter was a success, even if she is afraid of the Easter bunny. It was busy, but still pretty low-key.
I took her to the Easter bunny at the mall last week. She was in such a good mood. She waved to the bunny (and everyone else around her) and said hi, with a big smile on her face. Then I set her down on his lap and I thought the world was going to end. She was not having it. Picture to follow once I get it scanned.
Addison spent the night with the girls on Friday, for her second-ever sleepover. Isaac and I had a little visit with them, then said our goodbyes. She was good until we got to the stairs and she realized we were leaving. I guess she cried for a while but eventually calmed down, and everyone slept through the night. Ryan dropped her off at 8:30 the next morning. Isaac and I had done absolutely nothing all night, and loved every second of it.
On Saturday, after nap, we went to Isaac's Uncle Ray's Easter party. They go all out for their parties, whatever the occasion. There were craft stations, a parade, an Easter bunny (another bust; Addison screamed), and a scavenger hunt. My hunting team was awesome. They were 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 2.5. Hilarity ensued.
We hid eggs outside around our house on Sunday for Addison to find. She did pretty well, and got the hang of it quickly. It took a while to find just six eggs, though, because she wanted to play with every single one as she found it. The park finally dried up so we took her there (for the first time this year) after nap. That night I made ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and rolls for dinner.
I forgot to take a picture of her Easter basket. Isaac and I didn't get her much, but it still ended up taking over the entire Dining Room table. Addison and I dyed eggs and I put together a little basket for her, but everyone's gifts for her took over the entire Dining Room table. Kasey got her a duck, bunny ears that smell like chocolate, and a book. Grandma and Grandpa G got her a book and two shirts. Nana and Grandpa H got her some outdoor shovel toys, and a book. Ryan and Nicole got her bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and finger paint.
Today Isaac took the day off work and we went to his parents for turkey dinner. Addison loved all the good food this weekend and was in a great mood, as long as no bunny costumes were around. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as we did!

The weekend wasn't a total bust
Looks like Morgan has Roseola :( Poor girl
Addison went to the doctor this morning. She thinks it's Viral Conjuctivitis and a cold, but it could also be Adenovirus. I have to give her drops four times a day for the next five days, and keep spraying her nose with saline solution. Turns out babies hate both of these things with a fiery passion.
When she was still feeling relatively well, we got some shopping done, and Isaac took her for a hike in his new carrier. Yay!
My girl is now the proud owner of this potty, and a new bathing suit from Joe Fresh (pictured below). The potty was only $20 and the bathing suit $14! Score!
We saw Isaac's cousin Cherise this weekend, too. She brought Addison's belated birthday gift, which was awesome. Adorable slippers (pictured above), a stuffed mermaid doll, and two great books: Little Critter, and The Berenstain Bears.
Hopefully things start to turn around for the girls soon!

Holding the lid to her Saline spray can. She wouldn't let it go.

Blog Challenge: Day 6
Who would I want to trade lives with for a day? My favourite author in a whole other era. Very interesting.
L.M. Montgomery (1874-1942)

Dear Chapters
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to inform you of my disappointment with my recent shopping experience at your Belleville, Ontario location.
While waiting in line to purchase two new books for my newborn daughter and five month old niece, I saw displays for a new book, entitled A New Kind of Monster: The Secret Life and Chilling Crimes of Colonel Russel Williams. Convicted murderer Williams' face was shown on every empty cashier counter.
As a regular Chapters customer, I understand putting new books on display for paying customers. However, as a resident of the community in which the most heinous crimes described in this very book took place, I feel this book display was in very poor taste. Children do not need to get their hands on this book. Victims friends and families should not have to see Williams' face while they make their purchases.
I understand that this type of book sells. I am a Criminology student and often read novels on this very topic. I just feel as though we do not need to glamourize criminal cases. This book should quietly be placed in the Criminology section of your store, leaving everyone the option of whether or not they'd like to read it.
I speak on behalf of many in saying that the residents of Hastings County want to move on from the whirlwind that was last year. Please re-consider the advertising and placement of this novel in your Belleville, Ontario store.
Respectfully,
Miss TH, 24

Let's go shopping
Just a pointless post to express my excitement about going shopping tomorrow. It doesn't happen often. Isaac's not a fan of the city and is still getting used to taking Addison out. Shopping is not what it used to be. Tomorrow we have to go to the EI office to get his app fixed up, and he might have to buy new tires for the truck. That's the crappy stuff. After that, the Easter bunny is going shopping (Peter Rabbit book and First Years spoons) and I'm getting the gifts I need for Ryan's girls. Trips to BRU and Chapters are always fun! I might just end up with something for myself.
In other non-shopping news, today was great. We went out to the farm and took Addison out for a wagon/4 wheeler ride with Kerry out to the creek and through the fields. We came home to slow cooker beef stew and then I made these cookies. Delicious!
I should probably shower now and go to bed...
