What a weekend!

The weekend started out relaxing and quiet with a movie and popcorn on Friday night. Then it all changed..... Saturday morning we were off to Grandpa Carroll and Grandma Sue's house for Easter dinner. Jessica and Daren arrived from Madison, WI on Friday night. It was great to see them! It had been over 3 months since they had been home. They arranged for the boys to have a egg hunt that morning before Easter dinner.

Hold still for one picture!


Can you find the egg??

Coloring of the Eggs

Family tradition is to color Easter eggs. Buy eggs. $1.49. Buy the color kit. $1.99. Buy vinegar. $.89. A cheap, easy and fun way to spend a Spring afternoon. After having Sunday breakfast and realizing we were now down to having 10 eggs which included a brief debate with Nate about running to the store to get more, it was time for the fun to begin! Less than 10 minutes later the fun is over... another brief debate about getting more eggs and we're off to the store. After boiling and cooling we were ready for round 2! Only a few minor spills and our egg coloring experience was over!


Exhibit A

Exhibit B


The Bunny






Will he or won't he stop at the Remme house this year?? That seems to be the question this week. This is largly depending on the behavior of the Remme children. The youngest member of the household has had a challenging week at preschool resulting in a call to Mrs. Grant, she informed me that several of the children were trying to "remove" the roof of the playhouse. Please take a moment to picture this..... five, four-year-olds trying to remove a playhouse roof..... After hearing this from Mrs. Grant I continued to breakout into laughter throughout the entire day. Later that evening while talking to Myles he explains to me that he had a rough day followed by the question of, "are you going to call the Bunny?"




Pre Egg hunt and not to happy about wearing the down vests.
