Their little joke

NEWS UPDATE Winter and Spring revealed today details of a secret meeting held sometime in late Fall between the two contrasting seasons. Though information on the content of this meeting has yet to be fully forthcoming it appears Winter persuaded Spring into playing a joke on the residents of the Palouse. "I accept full responsibility for this unseasonable weather," said a contrite looking Old Man Winter. "I convinced Spring to put on a few days of sun and then allow me to bamboozle the people with snow just as they were gearing up for being outside again after a long winter season. I thought it would be a laugh...you know...'Ha ha, Winter you old kidder!' Had I known the severe depression it would throw this region into I would have never even approached Ms. Spring" We have it from a reliable source that Winter will play no more part in the Palouse weather patterns until his scheduled arrival in late fall. Ms. Spring was unavailable for comment for this story as she is still reported to be 'soaking it up in So-Cal'. Daily News Jeff Ritter

Let the Grandparent Detox Begin

For Easter we decided this year to head back to the west side. Jeff and I realized that I haven't had Easter at "Grandma and Grandpa" Ritter's for 7 years .. suffice it to say, long over due. It was great, we had loads of fun, Seth and Levi came home with 6 easter baskets and 3 easter egg hunts under their belt amid numerous other fun family activities. Now Seth is left alone with just plain mommy and not a fan club insight.. poor Sethy he's really taking it hard, so far today I have had to call the poison control center, I have cleaned up 3 urine related accidents and Sethy pushed back his lunch until 1:30 by refusing to help clean up his legos before lunch (he usually eats at 11:30). Lets just hope he doesn't burn down the house by dinner!

Grandparent detox aside, we really did have a wonderful weekend and we were so glad to spend Easter with so much family this year :)
