Crazy Hair Day

Today was crazy hair day at school. Byron wanted his hair all spiked up in the front. Thanks to a bunch of gel, it stayed all day!

And Jared with his very spiky hair! :)

Pumpkin Face

I got my fall decorations out...and there is just something abouot these 2 faces that seem so real to me....even though there is nothing "real" about them! And I just can't help but be in a good mood whenever I see them!

I think I've mentioned before on this blog that I have become more of a foliage person than a flower person (as far as our yard goes....) Jared had to bring in 2 leaves for science today, and these are the 2 he chose....I like how they look together! I'm thinking next year I need to move some plants so they are side by side!

Soup's On!

Jared LOVES to do "experiments"...Sunday he came home from meeting with some acorns in his pocket and wanted to do some experimenting! So, first, he boiled them, then added some milk, sugar, salt, and pepper....and of course leaves...he cooked it quite some time, then after it cooled, he peeled them, chopped them, mashed them, etc....it was quite a concoction! He was so proud of the fact though, that I gave him such freedom at the stove! He's always interested in helping us bake and cook, as well....hopefully when he's a chef someday, he'll come up with a little more palatable recipe than this one! Byron, ever learning from his big brothers.
