This Week at The Remmers

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

The beginning part of this last week was filled with Oliver rehearsals and LTA board meetings.

On Tuesday, Lyn's class presented a play called "Flight," which was a musical retelling of the story of Daedalus and Icarus, and was part of their unit on Greek history and mythology:



On Wednesday John had his first grade picnic. Unfortunately, it rained, so they spent most of the day indoors. He has gone to bed already, so he'll have to tell you all about it another time.

Thursday was the last day of school! In the morning, Margie had a meeting with a web designer to begin revamping LTA's website, and then she and the kids spent the rest of the day getting ready for our 21 DAY DETOX. With John continuing to have allergies and skin problems, and Dan and Margie continuing to get plumper by the hour, we decided it was a good time to hit the reset button--so we are undertaking a body overhaul.

We're following the program found in the book, Raw Food Life Force Energy by Natalia Rose. It required the purchase of a power juicer (the one we had was just too small) and LOTS of fresh fruits and vegetables, but so far it's going OK. The lunches and dinners are amazingly tasty. We're still getting used to vegetable juice for breakfast, though!

Friday was the first day of summer break, and we SLEPT IN! Then we spent a good deal of time figuring out how to use the juicer, etc. We also created journals for everyone to keep track of how they're feeling during the 21 days. And Lyn made a countdown chain on the computer all by herself! (Mom was very impressed.)

That night Margie went to the first night of the NVTA One Act Festival. Our play doesn't show until next Saturday, but she wanted to check out the competition!

On Saturday, Margie had rehearsal and then went straight to help a friend in the afternoon. In the evening she went to the second night of the festival. Dan and the kids just spent the day hanging out and not doing much.

And now it's FATHER'S DAY! Dan came to church with us so the kids could sing to him. They were very cute. Then Margie and Lyn went to choir practice. We had a delightful mostly raw dinner and then went for a walk in the neighborhood--the weather was lovely. Margie then gave the boys haircuts (and Lyn bangs), and here we are.

We are looking forward to a fun summer. Hope all is well with you!
