Football Season is over... now what?

Sadly, Eli's football season ended this past Friday night during the second round of playoffs. He ended up with 57 points from field goals/extra points. We are so proud of him!

So now, it is back to normal. We have "lived" football since July 15th. Here we are, four months later, trying to figure out how we will spend each evening.

We have had a great three day weekend. Today, David has taken the kids to the woods to move the tree stand. I have been to school, working in my classroom, and then I hurried and brought my books home. The house is empty.

We have seven days of school left until Thanksgiving Break.

Emma is doing great in Second Grade. She is reading and has alot of AR points. Last week, to my suprise, Tripp took off on his reading. Last night, he read two books to me. He gets angry if he does not know a word and has to start the whole sentence over again. Last night I taught him how to break the word apart if he did not know it. He is just precious.

My new niece Adaline is due ANY DAY. Her mom looks pretty uncomfortable. I remember those feelings so well. I can't wait to see her little face and hold her.

Interview.

So, I am sitting here with my two favorite little people. I have some questions I wanna ask.
Ready?
Let's GO!

Question 1 - What would your mom do on her dream day?
Emma - She would go shopping, go get her toes done and go meet Payton Manning and go to an Usher concert.
Tripp - Get me a toy.

Question 2 - What makes your mom laugh?
Tripp - Funny jokes and doing funny stuff.
Emma - When she is talking on the phone to Uncle Chris about Ethan.

Tripp - so she can get money.

Question 4 - How did your mom and dad meet?
Tripp - at school... he met you and he thought you were pretty. You were walking around somewhere and he asked you to marry him.
Emma - in high school you knew each other and then in college you went on a date and then you started being boyfriend and girlfriend and then you just asked him to marry you. You lived happily ever after and gave birth to me.

Tripp - Having a job.

Question 8 - When are you going to move out? Where will you go?
Tripp - a few years, somewhere to live.
Emma - When I am 25, I will go to college.

Question 9 - Do you think that your mom will cry or your dad will cry?
