In a galaxy far far away

I took, actually dragged the kids to Discovery World on Saturday for a Star Wars exhibit. How the boys could not be excited about going , especially considering their intense love of Star Wars, is a mystery to me (???) It was funny though because as soon as we walked in there, we caught a glimpse of Darth Vader taking pictures with a bunch of kids, and both Cameron and Connor turned white as ghosts. I thought Connor was going to bolt out of there! So being the sensitive, nurturing mother that I am, I started laughing and tried to get them to go over and get a picture with him. I told them not to worry, it wasn't the REAL Darth Vader, plus he didn't even have his light saber on him, so what was he going to do? I then realized that these poor boys were really truly legitimately scared, as they made a run for it, Connor grabbing the stroller out of my hands and pushing Kate to safety as well. What a good big brother :) So needless to say, we didn't get a picture with Darth Vader that day, but we did get some other fun shots, with R2D2 and a few other droids (I think that's what they're called, I am not up on my Star Wars terminology like I should be....)

The funny thing is that Darth Vader just seemed to keep "popping up" the whole time we were at Discovery World, one time following us down a hall, another time standing there as we were getting off the elevator. It WAS kind of creepy.....



Just his size!


Just her size!


Cameron with a naked C3PO

Wouldn't you be scared too???


Any Milwaukeans know what that is in the top left corner?

Football and Fall leaves

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. Always so much to do in the fall, with all the apple picking, pumpkin carving, football games, getting into all the back-to-school activities, etc. I'm even ok with the cooler temperatures, I am just happy there hasn't been any snow............yet.

Here are a few pictures of one of Cameron's flag football games. He's having a good time with it, I think he's finally figuring out how to play!!


Yes that's Cameron with the ball. Go Cam!!


He's somewhere in the middle of that lineup, just thought it was a cute picture....


Hanging out with his friends (he's second in from the right.) I think Cameron actually has more fun on the bench :)

I just got my camera back from the repair shop (yay!) so here are a few pics of fall in Wisconsin (I'm sure there will be more to come....)
