Our Easter Weekend

Every year, family and friends head out to go camping for Easter weekend. We packed up our stuff and headed south for slightly warmer weather. Our days were filled with the roar of four wheelers, the squeals of little girls, and warm sun. The nights were surrounded with campfire smoke and fridged air. We bundle the kids up pretty tight to keep them warm. Both children couldn't get over the four-wheeler or getting dirt everywhere. Saturday is the traditional candy hunt. The kids followed clues around our campsite until the came to their "loot" a great big bag of candy for them to share. After that, we packed up and headed home, and we were all exhausted! Sunday, we got up early. lil' L and lil' K didn't notice their Easter baskets and just went on with any Sunday morning. lil' K was deciding what dress to wear as she ate breakfast, moments later, she discovered their baskets. They were both quite excited. After church, we lounged around taking naps. We headed to Grandparent's house for Sunday dinner and Easter festivities. The children hunted eggs, ate candy and cake, and ran around with a sugar high for what seemed like hours. Ahh, now for mom to get her hands on their candy while they sleep!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Little Minds

We got a new DVD/VCR combo for Christmas. When we set it up, we couldn't record on the VHS, yes, we still do that kind of thing, no tivo for us. Back to the story. We we playing around with it the other day, and F thought it was now working. I was then assigned the task of trying to record from the telly. A few days later, I got a tape out, and prepared. Before I put the tape in, the thought ran through my head, "I better make sure there isn't a tape already in there." Well, most people might chose to press the eject button, but I'm old fashioned. I pushed it open and looked inside. Inside the VCR I saw something bright yellow and definitely out of place. I reached my fingers inside and pulled it out. "Oh, so that is where our little yellow candyland man is that we apparently did not know we were missing. Better check to make sure there aren't more." I looked in again, this time a bit longer, back in there was a disc. This one was more difficult to remove. It was our Monsters Inc. DVD that we haven't watched in a few days. It seems to me that our little man has been busy, and quite perceptive when it comes to the DVD player. Oh, and by the way, it does work. Yeah! We'll have to keep a little bit better eye on lil' L! Maybe he knows where some other missing items are. Now if only he could talk!
