This is Home

This weekend has been full of fun. Friday I went to school and made up last Tuesday. It was a long day but it was Friday- so you cant have that bad of a day. : ) They are having a pumpkin contest for their school and the theme is The Cat in the Hat. My teacher didn't want our pumpkin to be just the cat (which we figured everyone else would do) so we made ours into a fish bowl. She put me in charge of the paint and fish. We painted the bottom of the pumpkin blue and the top white. The kids made some fish that look like Dr. Seuss fish and then we attached them to the pumpkin. I got a blue pipe cleaner and stuck it in the top of the pumpkin then attached one of the fish so it looks like one is jumping out of the bowl. Then to add the finishing touches I painted in some bubbles coming from the fish mouths. It turned out super cute. I didn't have my camera so I will take a picture of it on Tuesday... after school I helped set up the book fair till about 5 then came home since Justin & Carla both were already almost to College Station...For dinner, me, Justin, Kason and Carla all went to Gatti-Town and were fatty's with the pizza buffet. : )

Saturday brought an early morning. Mom and Dad got to the house around 9 and we hurried so we could catch step off. Dad & Justin dropped me, Carla and mom off on the quad while they tired to find somewhere to park. Mom had never been to an Aggie football game let alone step off. We got there just in time. They formed up and the cannon went off. Justin and Dad still hadn't found a parking spot at this point. We headed toward Kyle field to meet Justin & Dad then decided to just head on into the stadium to get our seats. It was much hotter than we all had expected but it was a good game. The Aggie's held their own and went into half time with the lead. However, I don't think they ever came back from half-time because after that it was a downhill spiral.

Gig' em Daddy! (This game was very special to me and my daddy. In 2004, my junior year of high school Dad and I came to the A&M vs Tech football game and I knew then I wanted to go here. So my first Aggie football game was A&M vs Tech with my daddy and now my senior A&M vs Tech game was also with my daddy...very special)

Justin looked purple on his arms as did my shoulders by the time we left. We stayed until the middle of the fourth quarter then headed home. This is me and mom in front of Kyle field waiting for the boys to come and pick us up. Everyone came over after the game. Justin and Kason went and got food for all of us. I was glad that my parents and Justin's family got to interact some more. I love it when we are all together. It seemed like everyone was laughing and having a good time. All the families headed off around 6ish and sadly I passed out shortly after....

This morning I woke up early because I had gone to bed so early. So while everyone was sleeping I snuck away to sit in the Shipley's Donut line for 30 minutes. : ) After we ate we all hung out for a little while before me and Justin got started on the lawn. I mowed and he edged. The yard looks better than it ever has I am pretty sure. Megan and I just went on a mile walk with Pip and Shiloh and they seemed more tired than us by the time we got back. Mom is on her way here now. Justin left a while ago to go get some errands run and do his laundry.

Another week is about to begin, however, Justin isn't on his way back to Dallas right now, he is simply up the road which makes every week from now on not seem that bad : )
