UI Homecoming 2015

On October 24th we headed up to Moscow to take in a brisk parade and tail gate party for UI Homecoming. (We didn't go to the game. More on that later.) ((And they won! Wha...?!))

Of course we visited our favorite girls.
(Soon after this I got plowed over by a giant bass drummer.
He did apologize.) ((They were rushing the cheerleaders.))
This makes my heart happy. They are two of Etta's very favorite
people. From when she was born.
(She's holding a donut. An annual tradition.)
It pays to know the right people.
(Everyone is so happy. Except Ethan is a little suspect.)
Last year we discovered being at the very beginning of the parade
is the best place to be. They were giving us bucketfuls of candy
and there were hardly any people around us at all.
Alum marching band.
Our good friend Beanie.
The sick girl. I just thought she wouldn't eat a banana because
she was waiting for said donuts. Bad mom moment.
The Girls are on either side of that front trombone. So proud of them!!
For some oldies but goodies...

Dress Like a Teacher Day

I think that Etta is decidedly more dressed like a teacher than Bob!

Pumpkin Patch

Russell and I got to go on a pumpkin patch field trip with Mae's class. It was a lot of fun!

Some stories and songs to start off the day.
Chillin' with a few pumpkins.

Russell being silly.
Mae's turn. Look at those cheeks!
Henry too!
