football, the lake, plus COSTUMES

well, i was successful at posting blogs on a scheduled time and day without being anywhere CLOSE to a computer.... phew!!! i needed a break from the keyboard and screen....  We kicked off our holiday weekend with a nice little drive (meaning EVERYONE was nice in the car the whole 2 hours...even me!!!) to the lake, me & the boys!  We stopped in to check on one of our favorites....
we enjoyed dinner together, hiked a trail and played in the "blacksmith shop" with all the OLD tools.... "some" thought it was heavenly.... I just enjoyed watching them have fun! And of course we attempted the stable... it was closed but we could view the horses still... so we did!!!

then after unloading at the lake for a night....we packed back up to go to tiger town....  God's country as far as we are concerned!!!!  and oh my goodness it was so good to be HOME....
we were greeted with Toomers Lemonade, warm orange and blue m&m cookies, all kinds of candy....  
WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE!!!!!
oh and i think it should be a lAW you have to marry somone of the "same" family.... As if FOOTBALL family... i can not possibly imagine being a split household.....  I feel so sad for those you must share!! 
  
our home in the fall.

the boys played a little ball as we staked out our tailgate.
as their mama, i love that they LOVE to play with each other, it melts my heart to watch them.

my ole stompn' grounds with a new name.... The BANK... i like it!!!

 oh my.  who knows what is going on in that cup?  i don't wanna know.
they couldn't wait to go front row and DANCE.... 
that is until....
they spotted the POLICE men and AMBULANCE....

only in AUBURN do they let you get in the ambulance and play.... try on the handcuffs (or was he LOCKING him up??), turn on the real lights.....
Daddyc and enjoyed the sunset.... Got a drink and took the boys to Samford hall to play!  i love the hear the chimes from samford hall.... feels like home.  
 Life is GOOD!!!

we chatted with the new band members....

tried out their equipment... LOOK OUT!
we were a WHOLE lot better climbing trees than swinging flags around...
we got in the van to get a closer look at our eagle....

and we just had to go up to "the house" and remind ourselves of "good GREAT times"...
band room still "had it", the lake still looked inviting, and the flag flew HIGH!!!


whitmore is his big daddy's biggest fan! he had an adorable smocked bubble on, but after the 3rd friendly fan called him a SHE, his dad threw a jersey on him quick!  And that was just fine.


if you look close, you can see my biggest baby about 20 feet up in a tree.... Hold on!  just give them a tree... a days worth of fun all wrapped up.


seems ATLEAST 2 of my boys are ALWAYS barefoot... 
WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES?????  Even when i picked up my middle baby from his FIRST day of School today... NO sandals!!!  get it together boys, you HAVE to wear shoes!!!

And i did not get many game photos, i barely made it in, we begged with my camera...  I was Almost walking it back to the room!!!!  thank you nice man for breaking the rules!!!! i promise i did not take many....  Who knew you can not take a camera in???

we got there early.  watched the sun set, the team gear up, the band get seated...... chills all over watching the eagle fly....  War Damn Eagle!!!

Sam LOVED his first game and picked up two ladies in the meantime of football watching!  score.  We left our littlest lamb in good hands but missed him like crazy!!!!
And the next day....we were outta there to ROLL toomers corner-  when you can't stay up late its OKAY to roll it the NEXT morning, right?

Fall at the lake is a great time!!! This princess was there and couldn't have been better...... 

we had an aunt & uncle join us, and a couple of my boy cousins.... My monkey LOVES to play with them!  how cool is an older boy?

And on that note.... are these not the sweetest little things you have EVER seen?
And COSTUMES....  Do you have monkeys who LOVE to look at the costumes?

And i am advertising AGAIN.... clarabelleandthehen= good stuff.  Great friend, good shirts, you need some.
we got our birthday tees in for my monkeys birthday... only ONE complaint, she made their hair brown... but that is fine. we won't dwell.
today is a day of changes.... i was so sad to leave the lake yesterday, put away our swim suits... and gear up for SCHOOL!   Change of seasons, closets, and my middle baby is in a BIG BOY BED!  I guess change is good????   Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend as well.
WAR EAGLE!!!
