well... he got a few more than that. plus some oval-shaped chocolates. and a packet of cheddar bunnies we just fortunately never got around to eating from our trip over here. the latter he associates most with easter because bunny crackers were in some of the eggs he hunted for last year. so we were thankful for the oversight as it seems annie's is not selling yet to the danish market.
despite that wealth of sugar and artificial flavors, we still felt a bit scrooge-ish this easter sunday. no easter bunny. no easter basket. i can't remember if it was a conscious decision or something more in step with our general disorganization and lack of preparedness surrounding holidays, but we have not yet done the easter bunny thing and by next year he might be sort of weirded out by a life-sized, egg bearing bunny entering our house in the middle of the night with a "magic" key. which is just as well. i only felt bad about it once today when i started playing a video of his cousins discovering their peep-filled easter baskets this morning, and william, mistaking it for a skype session, began telling them about how his parents were trying to make him clean up his toys so that his dad could hide some candy around the room. the contrast felt a little... well, stark is such a strong word.
the better news is that we were both greatly improved health-wise, today. william probably more so than me, but even i did not take a single nap today... though i probably could have if pushed. and the cough that started it all seems settled in for a nice long stretch, but mostly i am a functioning human being once more.
the bad news is that henry developed a fever in the afternoon just as greg was developing a cold. so, the saga continues.
well, happy easter from denmark. i mean it!
