Time for a "nature walk." A sure remedy for cabin fever.
Captain Mason didn't make it out of the house with his hat. Queen Lexi made it ten steps until she shed her crown. Kudos to Captain Ollie for hanging in there with his hat. Don't you stress, my crown stayed on the entire trip, too.
The big kids blew the tiny one away with their longs legs. "Hey duys. Hey duys. Dait for me," but there was no hope.
Then came the highly educational explanation of "Why Leaves Change colors." I personally think I handled it well with, "Cause they like to change into their favorite color."
Was there fighting over treasures? You better believe it. Was there threats given? You can bet on it.
The proud hunters with their prizes.
Where did they put their hard earned trophies, you ask? In a heap. I repeat.
We had some serious fun in the rain.

Good thing you are AWESOME!! Thanks for taking such good care of the rascals. They are still talking about the sleepover. Oh, and the reason the Ollivater won't tell you his real name is because we changed it to a symbol. He now answers only to "the stinker formerly known as the Ollivater." Hope that relieves any confusion.
Jen!!!!!!! You are awesome, but why oh why do you never take my childrenssss? I want a sleepover at your house again! We play games, eat awesome icecream, talk to the weeeeeeeee hours of the night (minus Travis throwing stupid Dora dolls at me). You are such a fun person! I wish you were my sister...oh wait...
p.s.
i love that the nature collection was piled up like firewood...made me laugh out loud with a little spittle on the computer screen!
Love your nature walk!!! I wish you could send the rain this way, it sure would help with the fires here. Also could you throw in a couple of thoes treasures PLEASE :)))????
Why are you the coolest Mom I know? I hope you write a book, so that I can think of fun things like that to do with my crew.
I'm Kristin's sister. thanks so much for taking the boys when she really needed it. I hate that she lives so far from me but am so happy to know that she has good friends who take good care of her. We love her and those boys. Thank you so so much.
It is a PILE. Not a heap. Those are neatly stacked, if you ask me.
Your explanation of why the leaves change color is still making me laugh.
I sure do love your guts!
jenn, you crack me up. "nature unappreciated" LOL!
