Randoms :-)

I'm still trying to catch up on posts from this summer....so here are some pictures that I meant to post a long time ago! :-)

One weekend this summer Kyle decided to set up the tent in the backyard and take Brett 'camping'. Kind of like a trial run before the real thing :-) Brett was beyond excited and couldn't wait for their adventure to begin! I was excited to have the house to myself, but my gut told me it wouldn't last all night....

Brett was one happy camper!

Camping isn't what is used to be...now you can bring your DVD player and watch movies! Brett loved every moment of his camping adventure....until about 10pm when he was ready for his bed :-) Yep, I was right. Maybe he will be ready next year for the sleeping part!

I picked Carolyn and Norah up from daycare one afternoon after it had rained...and there was a huge puddle in our driveway. Brett started riding his bike and quickly realized that it would get stuck in the puddle, and if you kept peddling, water would spray up behind it. The kids had a blast taking turns spraying each other, to the point that I eventually had to refill the puddle with water from our sink!

Another warm day when the girls came over I set up the sprinkler....kids and water always seem to equal a great time!

I babysat Hazel one afternoon, so here the kids are waiting to make banana bread :-) They were very excited, until I took too long and they were off to find something more fun to do....

...like hiding in Brett's bed together!

In September we spent the night at Uncle Matt's in Chicago one night. And being the wonderful uncle that my brother is, he surprised Brett with some legos! 

My brother loves video games so much, he made his own arcade machine! Here he is showing Brett how to play Super Mario Brothers. And yes, I became addicted that night! One of my favorites from when I was little!

That's it for now, but hopefully I will be posting again soon!
