fake 8:30 is the new 11:00

on saturday seamus's friend Luke came over for a visit. luke is just a few days younger then seamus and they have hung out before. it was fun to watch them play - seamus would try to hug and kiss luke and at one point decided she wanted to run around in just her shirt. i don't know why. there were a few small power struggles over some of the toys but all in all it went pretty well. my favorite part of the day was when luke started playing with a little airplane. seamus took it from him and ran up into her bedroom. luke was kind of upset so i tried to divert his attention by showing him seamus's cow-in-the-box. he turned the handle maybe twice and we heard just a few notes of the music before we heard pounding feet upstairs and a screaming seamus "NO COW-IN-THE-BOX". in less then 2 seconds she was back downstairs trying to take it away. how in the world did she hear it?

so on sunday eric and i didn't wake up until 8:30. It was amazing. Even though it was fake 8:30 because we set the clocks ahead the night before so really our bodies were still adjusted to it being 7:30, the mental rush of opening our eyes to see a clock that said 8:30 was almost more then we could handle.

the plan for the day was to take seamus and sirus to see the easter bunny. since seamus didn't do so well with santa claus this year i decided i would show her the photo from last year of her sitting on the easter bunny's lap. she really liked the easter bunny last year and just sat there petting his fur so i had high hopes. as soon as seamus saw the easter bunny she started crying and started walking the other way. i took sirus over to the bunny and seamus's crys turned into "where's sirus" all concerned that he was with the easter bunny. eric asked if seamus wanted to see him and she just cried some more pulling eric away. they walked away and every time eric tried to get her to stop she would get all upset again. finally eric put her on his shoulders and it seemed as though that since she was now taller then the easter bunny it was ok. sirus was the only one with a photo with the easter bunny this year. we then went to the play area for about an hour. i was carrying seamus when we finally were leaving and i asked her if she wanted to go see the easter bunny and she looked at me, paused, then very quietly said no.
