Nate, "Dad, did you just see smoke coming out of my head?"

"No, why would there be smoke coming out of your head? "

" Cause I was just dreaming. "

" Oh, just like in story books, when someone is thinking of something you can see it in a cloud? "

" Yeah! "

Photos from last night. Their favourite part was handing out candy, but they didn't quite grasp the concept of even distribution, so they would just keep loading up the kind in front until I told them to give candy to the next kid.

Saw this when the boys and I were looking for another pretend axe for our "boys night" (Nate's term) in the play room. Nate built it all by himself. Apparently he's planning to build an entire zoo. I thought it looked neat.

A "found view".

A "found view". Was wrestling with the boys on the front lawn and took a moment to rest on the ground and saw this view (although the picture really doesn't do it justice).

A nice Friday read on "micronations".

Always sad when one of these giants get cut down. Unfortunately the one across the street has the orange mark of death on it as well.

Nate, "Did God make wasps?"
"Yes, Nate, God made wasps."
"But the people down here want to kill the wasps."

Had a block yard sale today.

Had a block yard sale today. Our family was hanging out casually on the front lawn and a lady was striking up a casual conversation with us. Eventually she turned to the boys and began asking them questions,
"Hey there, it looks like you're having a lot of fun, did you have fun today?"
Nate, "We're making a pretend fire." Points to a pile of sticks he's been collecting.
"Oh, that sounds fun, are you going roast pretend marshmallows over the fire?"
"No, I'm going to burn James."
"...ummm, I'm not sure I understood that."

Saw Lego being sold out of the back of a truck in an abandoned parking lot yesterday.
