A little of this, a little of that...

That sums up this posting. It's a spaghetti bowl of photos and a video. Let me start by explaining the photos....

Chris is gone for his 9-day deer hunt in Iowa. But, before he could go, Jackson and I had to make sure he had plenty of Chex mix on hand for his drive time and tree time (we probably could have come up with a quieter snack). He is well stocked.

New season, new activity! The latst and greatest activity is indoor soccer. Jackson and two of his friends signed up for a 6 week session that began two weeks ago. He seems to love this even more than playing outdoor soccer, which he has been doing since the start of summer. I love it because it takes a small portion of the never ending energy out of him.

N-e-v-e-r   E-n-d-i-n-g  energy.

I had to include the funny picture of Chris and I on date night this past weekend. We had a lot of fun finding these shirts. However, we received some interesting stares and laughs at a gas station on our way to the party : )

The last video captures the daily lunacy of our household (all parents can relate to this). I love that Jackson brings out the goofiness in Chris and I. This "performance" started out serious and then he showed his true colors....see the video at the bottom.

Jackson helping me make TWENTY cups of chex mix. Most of which was for Chris' 9-day Iowa deer hunt. I know, we went a little overboard but it's only because we love him and want him well taken care of. We miss you honey!

 Come on, you have to taste it to make sure it turned out OK!

Date night: A tropical-themed party. Thank God Goodwill carries this stuff  : )

Sunday was declared by Jackson as "fort day".

Fort building is exhausting! He fell asleep while I was reading to him.

Indoor soccer, a new favorite. Still doesn't beat football though...nothing does!

Yes, he's standing on the garbage can. Wait for it at the end, he adds a little spice to the show : )
