Maxine slept over at Grandma Campbell's house on Friday and went to the ward egg hunt. We brought Jack and they had fun finding eggs and candy. We got a lot of gift certificates for free ice cream cones! Jack wouldn't go near the person dressed in a bunny suit but I don't blame him. A huge Easter bunny seems creepy to me too. Then we had a huge breakfast back at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Afterwards we were off to Jake and Beka's house for their lunch and egg hunt. We all drooled over Jake's new car (hubba hubba). Here's the link if you want to take a look. http://bekabracken.blogspot.com/ Then we came home and dyed eggs in preparation for the Easter bunny. Juliet had the most fun playing the plastic eggs. Except one of the eggs she was playing with got stuck in her mouth when it separated from the bottom. Her jaw was open so wide I couldn't get it out for a bit. After a few moments, I wormed a pinkie in the corner of her mouth and popped it out. It looks like she's about to cut her first top tooth today too! (Too much alliteration?)

Merril's off fighting the man today. He had a court appearance. He was obeying the speed limit (or mostly) when a car who was really speeding came blasting by him. The car changed lanes as it passed Merril and drove directly in front of him when he spied a cop. The car slammed on his brakes to slow way down and caused Merril to hit the brakes as well. The cop just saw Merril's big, red Dodge hitting his brakes and assumed that he was speeding. The cop didn't show up today at the courthouse and the case was dropped. Merril wins again. I have to say that he is unfairly targeted in his truck. I figured he must be doing something until I drove it by myself one day (Tahoe had a flat) and got pulled over. I was going under the speed limit because the speedometer is off in the truck. The cop said I had a license plate light out. I most certainly did have a license plate light out but I get the feeling the cop was looking for some punk to bust. I got the feeling she was disappointed when she found it was me driving. Anyhoo, have fun coming off your sugar highs. I know I ate too many Jelly Bellys yesterday.
