Halloween

We always enjoy "old-school" Trick-or-Treat in our house.  We really enjoyed making Lexi's costume this year (paper doll), and the neighborhood seemed to think she was great :).  Jack dressed as his future career - train engineer.  We put on knit hats, two layers of clothes, loaded up the wagon and headed out - walking.  We are the only ones around I think who still walk, but it makes for a lot of fun memories.  Enjoy the pictures!

                                    

                    

Jack "Reading"

Jack is your stereotypical second kid/boy.  He doesn't perform on cue and he speaks only when required.  So, this new found love of "reading aloud" is so much fun.  Here's a video of him "reading" If You Take a Mouse to School.  We got cut off right near the end, but it's still most of the story.

Clemson Tigers

So, we are a die hard college football family.  In fact, as I write this, I am looking at a 220 inch screen my husband built for our backyard to project football games onto.  Our family lives and breathes football during the fall and we pledge our allegiance to Clemson.  That means anything orange is golden, and just in case you are wondering, anything garnet is off limits.  So, we took our kids to the first game of the season.  We have to take the kids to a game where we can leave early, so Ball State was a good choice.  We take them because we want them to fall in love with the experience, but there's no way they could sit through a whole game.  Even with the heat, the kids really enjoyed the day.  From the beautiful campus to the stadium with a new sound system, 3 new HD video boards, and fireworks.  It was an awesome day!

One of the best things about campus...big, old trees

Go Tigers!
