This is what happens when you get HDTV

Nobody leaves the TV for 12 hours, especially on College Football Saturday.

GO HAWKS!

Great win today!!

Our little cheerleader

Her deer in the headlights look:
Grace has been going to a cheerleading clinic put on by the high school cheerleaders. All the Jr. cheerleaders were to go out on the football field tonight between the sophomore and varsity high school football games and do a few of the cheers they learned. Grace was excited to go...we put on her little face tattoo, put a white ribbon in her hair, and Rich and I took her up to the game. When we got to the ticket gate, she majorly freaked out. She was bawling and pulling my arm and burying her head in my stomach begging to go home. So after hemming and hawing we decided it wasn't worth a meltdown and took her home. I made her pose by the fence just to prove we were there :). Then she did a few moves for me in the backyard when we got home.

Not such a good morning

Grace didn't have a very good morning before school today. I knew the happy, smiley, "I can't wait to go to school" stuff would end eventually, but on the 9th day of school?? We walked by Grandma's and she wasn't on the swing like she usually is (she worked last night so was still in bed), and meltdown city started after that. She cried and pulled my arm the whole way to school, wanting to go back home with me. "My stomach hurts, my head hurts, my throat hurts, I think I'm going to throw up. I'm serious!" I walked her into the school and to the gym, where they wait until the bell rings if they are early. When I was walking away I looked in the window and the poor little thing was just sitting on the floor by herself....heartbreaking! I hope I don't get a call from school today!

Fall fever!

So I know it's only August 25th, but fall fever has begun. I put up my fall wreath today...I won't put any more fall things up until at least September, I promise :).

Landscaping update

Here is the (almost) finished landscaping. We're going to get a few shrubs to plant in front of the bedroom windows. Please don't mind Rich's flip-flops with socks....give him a robe and a crazy cat and we could start calling him Old Man Kinney (click on the picture to enlarge it!).

That's some crazy hair!

We went to the park tonight....Grace got a kick out of her hair when she went down the slide.
