Snowy October

well, it has snowed once already.  we thought that it was going to strip all of our fall colors away, but thankfully it didn't.  it's actually been beautiful all month.

right now, jon's reading the boys a book about the planet Uranus.  why do we keep giggling as though we were 12?  seriously.  we should grow up.  but he just keeps saying it....Uranus.  hahahaha.

joke:  what do the star ship enterprise and toilet paper have in common? (see bottom of post)


rowan has had the benefit of practicing on finn's team all season because his dad is the coach.  perks.  he's possibly the most aggressive, hardest working player on the team.  he's so desperate to have a team of his own.  next season he will.


finn has fallen in love with coloring.  he has these awesome dover coloring books we've been getting off amazon.  they're only a few dollars each, but each page is a prized possession.  whales & dolphins, reptiles and audobon birds.



jon is rowan's favorite person.


they had to be in the snow as soon as possible.  finn using the squirt gun i brought him home from a recent trip to ohio.


this is what snow does to a happy little cherry tomato plant :(


coloring even in the wee hours of the morning.


caught a cricket after school.



rowan had been wearing this (cleats, soccer socks and all) since he first woke up.  the shoes never came off all day.


i promise i watered the mum.

answer: they both fly around "your anus/uranus" and pick up "cling-ons" it's a good one.  i know.

QUIP O'THE DAY
i LOVE days when catalogs come in the mail.
