We took a little nature walk in our neighborhood after nap one afternoon. This is what we found:

 Andrew and Alex's fall leaf collection

And, an amazing creature that made Andrew tell me to go get my phone so he can have a picture. He was SO excited about this Praying Mantis. They are pretty cool, huh? Andrew told Daddy when he got home from work that we found a bug that prays. Cute!

Tiny pumpkins!!!! 

Don't you LOVE that face???!!! He cracks me up. He has THE. BEST. OVER-THE-TOP EXPRESSIONS! (ok, except for when Andrew makes an equally hilarious expression - but at the moment, Alex wins here LOL)

Mr. Mini Jason. What a good sport to make an almost-silly face for his mommy who cannot control her picture-taking problem. "Oh, mommy..."

I love that our boys love the moon just as much I do!

My grand-daddy used to tell me this when I was little:

"I see the moon.

The moon sees me.

God bless the moon.

And, God bless me."

It was a sweet, simple way to introduce a little prayer before bedtime. I tell this to our boys now :)

The last day of Summer:

giggles in the grass while looking at the moon

The first day of Fall:

pondering a pumpkin at the first "patch" of the season 

(at Lowe's in the Garden Center - didn't even know it was there!)

A Packer Pleasing Meal! 

Grilled Chicken with portobello mushrooms, grilled pineapple, and grilled zucchini - YUM! 

Of course served on our fabulous personalized Packers plate from here.

GO PACK GO!

Simple Things

Boys and their toys - only these were grown-up with classic and/or really fast cars surround by a bunch of kids looking for the characters from Cars. Nope, that was just mine? LOL Andrew was so excited when we accidentally came up on a car show on our way to Five Guys last weekend. He thought it was the coolest thing. EVER. He tried and tried to find a car that looked like Lightning McQueen. We couldn't find him, but we did find one very similar to Doc Hudson :)

When we were headed over to Five Guys after looking at row after row of cool cars, I asked Andrew which one was his favorite. He found that blue mustang -maybe a cobra? Can't remember. I just know he loved it because it was blue. He loved it so much that I was able to take a picture of him!

Sumertime Fun {Christopher}

Whew! Summer flies by when you get 2 sets of extra hands during those wile summer month.

Yesterday, we took my 2nd oldest of my 5 little brothers home. Christopher got his turn (he's the one that came up with this idea) to spend a week with us. YAY!
 

 First things first - food for the week! We got the grocery shopping out of the way, but needed to grab our fruits and veggies :)

 The next day we headed to the zoo! Another great morning with barely anyone else! I love having the zoo to myself LOL 

 I could not get the boys to take their eyes off the train for a second! 

 Ready to go go go!

 Spooky tunnel

 Christopher feeding some swans

 Mr. Alligator :)

 Hot and tired after a long day at the zoo

 Another day out in the sun

 The boys both took a wild ride around the yard

 Couldn't even get a clear picture because they were so fast!

 Doing a bit of seek and find before bedtime

 Got in a little time at the playground before it got too hot

 Swinging is a great way to catch a breeze that just won't happen

 Watching a movie :)

 Made some homemade cookies (recipe coming up in a bit)

While the rest of the cookies were baking, Andrew helped me shuck the corn for dinner. LOVE this little guy!!

 And! While Andrew was helping me do that, Alex fell asleep! GOODNESS! 

Of course, we had a few game nights (and afternoons). 

Christopher was a GIANT help this past weekend, too!! We had out Yard Sale on Saturday. He helped nap time on Friday to get everything labeled and organized. It was great! We got everything DONE in 2.5 hours! Thank goodness Brendan helped the weekend he was here so we could get everything to be sold into the garage. Now all that is left is to drop off the unsold stuff at the donation center. 

It was another wonderful week with another fun brother of mine!
