Fall Fun

I love Fall.  It is my favorite season by far.  I always feel like I need to squeeze so much in so little time  because it is also the shortest season. 

Here are some pictures from a local park.

I think I've mentioned before that Evan is a collector.  Well I decided to just welcome it because there were too many tears involved when I tried to dispose of them.  So now our house is filled with chestnuts and pine-cones.  His next mission is leaves and acorns.

Family

More family shots from my cousins wedding in South Dakota.

Cousins

Here are some pictures of Jacob and Evan with their cousins Jasmine and Jabari.

Madison's Children's Museum

We took our chances at the Children's Museum the other week and were very pleased.  It was busy but not too bad and then everyone cleared out around 11:30, must have been nap time.  The boys absolutely loved it... even without seeing the rooftop (closed for maintenance for the day).  Jacob's favorite thing was the tunnels to climb and slide down.  Evan loved the shadow room.  It was nice to have two parents because for the first time Evan didn't want to always do what Jacob wanted.  Here are some pics.

Evan driving the car... Jacob starting to climb.

Before the slide down.

More climbing.

Painting the window.  Another favorite of both boys.  Paint - Spray - Squeegee... what could be more fun?

Hamster wheel.

Water play.  The boys thought it was so cool that the water looked hot (smokey) but was cold.

 This last picture is funny because it is classic Evan.  He is such a collector/gatherer.  It could be acorns, rocks, pine cones, or in this case eggs.

My friend Timmy V. sent me these pictures taken from a wedding last weekend.  I absolutely love the editing, I had to share!  

The first is the edited picture.  The 'Boozies" having a moment.

Here is the original

I was in need of a good laugh.  Thanks again Timmy!
