Poor Blog part 2

 Over the summer we had baby praying mantis' galore.  This one is on a strawberry plan leave.  I love praying mantis'.. they are so cool looking.  I was so excited we had babies.  They were EVERYWHERE.

 Spaz will eat any pepper he sees on my plants.  He is a tad bit ornery!!

 I have tried growing pumpkins several times before but never have done well with them.  This year I got 2 pumpkins!! A white one and a bumpy orange one.  So happy!

  

We went to the park last weekend.  Here are my kids being cute!

There was a little puddle left from rain that had tons of fish in it.  The creek (or drainage/runoff area really) had dried up from the main water source.  So being the kind and loving people we are, we saved as many as we could.

 

  

There were also several frogs in the area that the kids held.

 

Smile for the camera...  Check out Max.  Joe is "eating" Ike's frog. 

 

What is a park day without sticks??

 Enjoy Fall before Winter comes and we all freeze to death. Here is a picture from last winter.  This was in our neighborhood.  It was super huge!!  The bottom was like a fort/cave.  Just an idea for you once you get snow this year!
