Glimpses of this past week.....

The week blew by!!  And now its Sunday night...lunches are made....Rachel is putting her kids to bed, Chris is putting our kids to bed....and i am hiding out in our room, blogging.  I know 8pm is too early to go to bed, but I am done.  It was a nice day....as low key as it can get with 5 little boys running around!

Rachel and her boys are staying with us until Paul arrives this coming Thursday with the U-haul.  Chris took isaac and max mushroom picking after dinner tonight and apparently they just had the best time....Max even asks Chris if he can call him 'dad' while they are out in the woods.....Chris hesitantly says 'umm..yeah, i guess.'  hahah....

Christie and her family came for supper wednesday night! 
Here we are dueling it out on her first game of blokus.....
 Sneak preview of what Chris is building for the fall teen retreat....yup, its a cargo net!  He has built it from rope--did all the splicing himself!! Talented boy!! Can't wait to get it out of my livingroom!!!
 We stopped by to help Andy around his new house....here are the boys entertaining themselves out on the road outside Andy and Nancys house {she lives across the street!!  Lucky Rentons to have such a sweet neighbor!}
 Yeah!! Air Guitar with the trim!!!
 Friends.....
 Chris went mushroom picking and pulled out this beauty!! 
 ...and then he realized how he was holding it and held it up a little more!!!
 He also pulled out his first 'chicken of the woods' mushroom!  Huge hey?  He cooked it up and tried it but was a little nervous.....parts of the internet had mixed comments on this mushroom, so he was nervous about getting sick....last night, he was scared, he got all sweaty....it was pretty gross....he was fine this morning but i don't know if he will ever eat it again!
 This weeks adventures is having 3 more boys join our family! 
Here they are on their first solo adventure together....i snuck a picture!!!
Its 9 now, and Rachel is sitting beside me here on the bed with her computer on her lap...i think we are going to be good friends.....
