The hunt for a yellow leaf...

Bryce always brings home "homework" on Tuesday nights. He has to bring a specific item in for Wednesday depending on the theme of the week. Well, tonight his "homework" was to find a yellow leaf. By the time we ate supper and got cleaned up, it was 7:00... We decided to make a quick trip out to the Battlefield. It was getting dark but we were able to find a few that we think were yellow - even in the dark. Here are a few pictures :)

I don't think picking leaves off a tree at a state-owned park is what his teacher had in mind!

Bryce wanted his brother to have this leaf-such a thoughtful big brother. Soon after this picture was taken, Blake zonked out - this was way past his bed time!

Mommy and Bryce :)

Such a handsome boy :)

Signs of fall...

It was such a nice day yesterday. The four of us went to the apple popcorn festival in Brookston and then we came home and Bryce and I played outside. We found this wooly worm. Bryce wasn't too sure about holding it himself but thought it was pretty neat. Last night we went to Target and there was a huge praying mantis on our cart. He wasn't too sure about that either (and neither was mommy!).

The Sunday paper

This morning (and every Sunday morning) I go downtown and pick up the Sunday paper. I bring it back and Dan and I usually sit on the living room floor and read it while Bryce plays and Blake watches us. This morning, Bryce decided he wanted to read the Toys R Us ad and he gave Blake the JCPenney ad so that he wouldn't feel left out. It was a very sweet brotherly thing to do :)
