Saturday when I got home form work my husband and oldest daughter breaking thier backs moving landscape rock. Once I got out of the car and headed to visit the young ones gathered with their friends at the other end of the drive way.......I noticed a little smoke. Yup....the 9 year olds and younger were bursting with pride at their success at starting a fire with a magnifying glass. It was ok because they had big rocks in a circle and the bark they were burning was in the middle. A great big no no that he just couldn't quite comprehend......I was looking at the bare dead field accross the street. We doused it and scattered the kids. Braydon come a few min. later and had an epiphany that he will bring his magnifying glass to start the fire at grandmas and grandpas the next time we have smores. LOL
The second break down was when Corey caught a praya mantis and gave it to Braydon to feed to his small baby frog. We received a disturbing cry "the pray mantis is a murderer! He is eating the frog" Sure enough, only the leg was left. He immediately dumped the aquarium and contents onto the drive way and started to sweep it into the dirt. Poor kid. Traumatized. I got after Corey....the reply "it was longer but, I thought the frog would eat IT."
Fall is my favorite.....good bye heat! Hello Color! I'm moving to my sisters new world where there is only spring and fall. Ready for the weekend. Getting re energized for surviving the next weeks work reality.

Good luck with that one.( hide the maginfing glass maybe?)
I am soo glad your blogging again!
What's with all the "fall love affair" nonsense? Fall means the end to summer, and the beginning of a miserable, slushy, cold, and dreary winter. No more camping, hiking, barbaque, fishing, and other fun activities. Instead, We must sit inside for 4 months straight and wait for warm weather to return. Fall is Winters evil cousin.
Cool story about the frog, who'd have known?
