Fall = Football

Fall is a wonderful time in the South. We love college football and it loves us! If we must leave the laid back lake lifestyle and fall into a regular schedule that preschool dictates, then GA Tech football is a nice reward. It worked out for my friends, Amy and Liz and their husbands, to tailgate and go to the game with us this Saturday. Again, we had amazing weather, babysitters cooperated and schedules aligned. It's rare for all of this to happen! Here's to tailgating....

Saturday was a busy day for us; our neighbor's youngest daughter turned two. They had a petting zoo in their backyard. Olivia was in heaven. Zach attached himself to the sheep and kept saying "feel how soft she is". Oh, how sweet they are! Olivia was so gentle with the animals. This is somewhat shocking after her incident with a cat in the neighborhood last week. She tied the poor cat up with a jump rope - note, not by the neck, but it's hips, so as to not choke the cat, then tied the other end to our back door so she could go use the bathroom. She didn't want him to leave! After several hours of being toted around, tied (gently) and examined, the cat finally scratched her and bit her.... TWICE! Enough already, leave the cat alone! So, this time, she was much more gentle with the animals.

We finished the day off with a Braves game. It was Porsche Family Day, so we enjoyed the remainder of the evening with the Porsche group. Needless to say, Sunday was boring compared to a day like this!

Speaking of Sunday, our kids (especially Zach) must get the 'days of the week' thing. After dinner tonight - Sunday - he asked Dave if it was time to watch the Simpsons. This is something the kids do with Dave - not me, so Dave was impressed. He asked Zach what day it was and Zach (of course, being a little smarty pants) said "It's Sunday - time for the Simpson's, Dad". Ahh, that kid! I read books to them, Dave watches football and the Simpson's with them.... you get the picture.
