4 F's

 1.  Football!  It's over.  Charlotte's team lost in the playoffs, but  Brooke's lost in the Super Bowl.  They both had a fabulous time cheering, but we are glad to have our Saturday's back. 

 2. Field Trip!  I chaperoned a 2nd grade field trip with my favorite second grader.  We took a train ride through Cicero, and then toured some of our community hot spots.  The library, fire station, police station, post office.  It was pretty fun!

 Not a great picture, but the train goes over the lake.  I think that's pretty cool.

 3.  Flapjack!  Brooke is pet sitting her class turtle for Fall Break.  His name is Flapjack and he's a cute little thing.  We are having so much fun playing with him and watching him. 

 4.  Food!  We made a dutch oven dinner in our garden.  And when I say we, I really mean Nathan.  Ha!  It was his idea.  We had dessert too.  An apple crisp.  Yum!

 Of course, if we're eating outside it means we will have neighborhood friends over to help us eat.  :-)
