There was lots of purple in the stadium. Whenever KState gets a first down, the audience gives the first down sign. It's amazing when the whole group of students does it.
L had a good time although she wishes that football would only last 3 quarters. She starts getting squirrly about that time. Daddy bought her cotton candy which she devoured in less than 20 minutes. We had to go hose her off in the bathroom when she was done (there was even cotton candy in her hair!). 
Oh L! You are so funny!! What cracks me up even more is 6 weeks later, you're still telling me all about the picture taking (and asking to watch the video daily)!
I hosted book club tonight. We had a good feast of chicken and dressing, several salads and Halloween candy (man, I can't believe that holiday is around the corner). We discussed "The Greatest Man". I learned that most thought the book wasn't great, but okay. I personally liked the book. I liked the relationships that the 4 main women had.
I learned about Theresa's parents and I learned that Denise and Lori really do a good chicken dance.
But the best thing I learned today is my new adopted motto. I've been looking for a good motto that sums up a lot and here it is (courtesy of Jaime)....
"you get what you get and you don't throw a fit". Yep, I'll be using that a lot at home and at work.
A rare pose. I think her grandpa burned her out on picture taking. 
L was proud to sport her Superman backpack (which came with the cape). She flew into class saying, "I'm Superwoman!!". She loved preschool. Neither she nor I cried when we got there (although I had thoughts of it). She learned how to do the popcorn song and proudly showed us tonight.
This is L in the morning. She is definitely not a morning girl. Now that preschool's starting, she goes to bed earlier, but I don't think she's falling asleep any earlier.
After all the sword fighting, L and Kam tried to play games. That means L wanted to play games and Kam wanted to destroy them. It was pretty entertaining.
The adults watched the Olympics and watched that great 100m butterfly race that Phelps won. That boy is a machine!!!
And it's even pink!! It's so girly, I just want to sit and enjoy the nice white light it gives off. I'm sure I'll be a better scrapbooker now.
Oh well, maybe next weekend is when I'll get the house cleaned up.
We spent 8 days in Maui and it was the best vacation. The eight hour flight was long and we weren't very happy with American Airlines. Apparently, they think you only need two beverages in an eight hour time span. But we were rewarded when we got to Maui. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I asked a store owner if I could park in front of his place and he said it was only a 30 minute spot. But then he followed me to my car to ask where I was going and gave me better suggestions of where to park.
We had a little pre dinner entertainment. The buffet: very interesting. There was Kalua Pua'a (roasted pig): very good. Poi: yuck. Mahi Mahi: yummy, island chicken was also good. Their sweet potatoes are purple and not tasty. They also had good veggies and fruit but two raw fish salads which I passed on. 
The hula dancers were great. They had an endless number of costumes and the story was very good. We were grateful to see such a good performance.
Definitely a must do if you go to Hawaii.
