Weekend update

After our pumpkin patch adventures Friday, we went to my niece's game Friday night. That sentence makes the sequence of events sound much more tidy than it actually was. Remember, the girls looked like this by Friday afternoon:




Although there is no pictorial evidence, I looked about the same. So when Skip said he thought we might want to take the girls to see Lexy march, I asked him if he was crazy. Because, while we have been wanting to go to one of her games and definitely wanted to see her, we were really wiped out.

As can be the case, a little rest changed our perspective.  We rallied and were very excited to go see Lexy! The band did an awesome job, and the team had several exciting plays. Grammie joined us, and we also got to see my dad and stepmother, too, so it was a great night.   PawPaw and Ms. Eva gave the girls football ribbons.  Although they weren't quite sure what to make of them at first, they quickly realized that ALL the big girls at the game had them, and they quickly embraced the look. 

Baby George is teething, and he was really uncomfortable so we left during the third quarter. 
First, a quick visit with Lexy:



Saturday afternoon, we went to a fall festival at Skip's parents' church.  The girls played so many games that they kind of became compulsive with the prizes, but they had a great time and really loved visiting with all of Gran and Poppa's friends. 

Here is a quick shot of all three pumpkins, each looking in a different direction, of course.  With so much excitement, they weren't sure where to look next!


Sunday, after church, we played outside and enjoyed more amazing weather.
