September 22. What a day. It's a very special day in our family. 28 years ago, I was born on that day. 29 years ago, my cousin Rusty was born on that day. 34 years ago, my aunt Amy was born on that day. And just one day before September 22 of this year, my cousin Pax was born. We normally all get together as a family...it's like Christmas in September! When we were younger, all the cousins got gifts because Meemaw felt sorry for them. Did we ever get gifts on their birthday...I don't think so! I'm over it though. haha. Out of my 28 years, this is only the 2nd time I haven't been with my aunt on our birthday. She had a dang good reason this year...
Pax McCall was born on September 21. I guess we get to share our birthday with him now! :)
Homecoming week. I love high school sports and activities. There is just something about having school spirit. I grew up having school spirit and going to all the high school events, so it's just natural for me to continue that. Wednesday was Cowboys and Indians day...Michael laughed at me when he saw me!
Thursday was Decades Day and I dressed in a poodle skirt and such. I didn't get a good picture, but it was fun. Thursday night was the Homecoming parade. I didn't know how Michael would react. I didn't know if the sirens would scare him or not, but he loved it. He just watched and watched.
This was a big Homecoming for us. Daddy had his 20 year reunion! (Wow, he's old!) Daddy picked Michael up to go to the pep rally. Anna had him all dressed, fed and ready to go. He loved the pep rally, but then fell asleep! Yes, with all the drums and yelling, the boy fell asleep at the pep rally! Daddy had fun showing him off to all his classmates. We hung out with his classmates after the pep rally and then ate supper with them before the game. The game was so crowded that we had go sit on the visitors side. The Indians ended up winning 61-0!! Michael, Grandma and I left at half time.
Michael was a super trooper! He was in such a good mood at the game. Grandma stayed with him while we went to the Class of 1990 dance. He slept all night long...thank goodness, this momma was tired!
We spent Saturday and Sunday chillin' out and napping. Our sweet neighbors gave us a few pumpkins and Michael loved them!
We were going to get him all dressed up in his halloween outfit and take pictures with the pumpkins, but goodness...it's 95 degrees on September 27! The boy would melt...so we'll try again another day. Don't even ask...I'm not telling what he is going to be for Halloween. I actually hate Halloween, but it'll be fun letting Michael dress up.
It was a sad day today...we put up the beloved swing! It's offical...Michael has outgrown his swing. Oh that swing....that swing got us through many days when momma needed a break and a much needed nap! That swing was his bestest friend for like 4 months, then on occasion he got to hang out with his friend again. Why don't they make swings big enough for babies to swing until they are 4 years old??? Goodbye swing...
