Boy Adventures ~ Water Falls
It was the last week of Summer when we met a grandma on the playground who told us about this neat little watering hole she liked to take her kids to when they were little and still brings her granddaughter. It sounded like a great adventure to us, so we made sure to fit this visit in before Summer came to a close.

Our Inspiration: Fall With the family in tow, we headed to our local Home Depot to meet with Behr Representative Tom Chambers.

Turn Any Occasion into a Pirate Party!
If you pop over to visit me here at Mom vs. the Boys on a regular basis, you probably already know that my boys love Pirates! Their Aussie Uncle knows this too, which is why he gave one of them a pirate activity book for their birthdays back at the beginning of June. The book called, "Pirate things to make and do" was filled with instructions on making pirate swords, telescopes, treasure chests and more plus it came with some shiny pirate stickers.
