The Power of Poop Bunny

Joe has proven difficult to get to smile for family photos.  Auntie Sarah found the magic of two simple words...Poop Bunny!  They can instantly take a picture from this...

 

to this....

Happy Easter!!

I think it is safe to say the Easter bunny made a stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

This year he opted for an amazing candy bar so everyone could pick their favorites.

He also hid Easter baskets for the boys.

 They wasted no time getting outside to try out their new bubbles.

 
Happy Easter!!

Easter Weekend in Wausau

This weekend we went to Wausau to celebrate Easter.  As always there was plenty to
do to keep the boys busy.  Grandma started off the weekend impressing us 
with her volcano making skills.

We spent some time outside (did I mention they got a foot of snow the day before?),

and took the kids bowling.

After all that excitement a warm brotherly cuddle was the perfect way to relax and
prepare for the Easter bunny's big arrival tomorrow.

Joe's Cafe

Apparently the kitchen table is not exciting enough for Joe.  We were eating breakfast at
Grandma's and he decided to pull up his own table and chair into the middle of the
kitchen floor and enjoy his breakfast there.  Let me welcome you to Joe's Cafe.

Wall Upgrade

The retaining wall in front of our house has been driving Ryan and I nuts for awhile now.

The rocks are uneven, not sturdy and just really old and dirty looking.  We had tossed

around the idea of having it rebuilt and finally decided to pull the trigger.

 The landscapers did a great job and we are so happy with how it turned out!

Definitely money well spent.

Hat Man

Joe has always hated having any type of hat on his head...that is until recently.

Now he is more than happy to try out various styles,

 even if that means strolling through the aisles of the grocery store wearing the Easter
basket we were buying on his head.  What a fashionable shopping buddy!

Square Bear

This week we got a visit from Square Bear, cleverly named after Owen's classroom, the
Square Room.  He came home in Owen's backpack and got to stay with us for a few days.

The boys were more than happy to take him outside and let him join in on their fun.  Then
Owen and I got to write a letter back to the class reporting back about what we did together.

Thanks for the fun visit Square Bear!
