Autumn treasures

A girlfriend of mine asked me to watch her three girls for her tomorrow evening. It is going (hopefully) to be another beautiful Fall day here so I thought it would be fun to have an outdoor Autumn Treasure Hunt.

Autumn Treasure Hunt List:

Acorns

Pretty leaves

moss

Twigs

Then we could assemble our treasures and make a collage! Sound like fun?

I hope the redheads play it cool when the girls come over tomorrow. This is the conversation I had with them last night:

me: the girls are coming over to play with us after school!

N: Mom, I am worried.

me: Why are you worried sweetie?

N: I just don't know what to do! The girls are too pretty.

and from M

me: the girls are coming over tomorrow.

M: giggles uncontrollably while his face turns so red he looks sunburned (poor redheaded complexion):)

I am going to take pictures of our Autumn Collages and the pretty girls for a future post!

play it cool boys...play it cool

These were taken a few weeks ago on the University Campus. One of the last warm weekends we had and we took advantage of it! The boys loved playing in the leaves and it was a new experience for them since we only have one tree at home and I don't think it has grown in the last five years that we have lived here (and it shed its two leaves months ago).



Busy boys!
Having fun with Daddy! M insisted upon collecting the best looking leaves and taking them home with us. When we got home he put them out in the backyard!

N wears his red cap every day. He is very picky and high maintenance about his clothing but that is a story for another time.
