Football Friday Week 3

This week we are home again, playing the Lathrop Mules. Between the big win last week and us coming in as favorites this week, I am really pumped for tonight's game. The rain may be moving in, but it doesn't stop dedicated Bulldog fans from filling the stands to root on our boys!

Our Duck Family!

Today I would like to talk about our ducks. Franklin, in front and center, is the ringleader of the clan. He is our only remaining original duck. We brought home him and his mate Gertrude a few years ago from a friend's farm and we have been hooked on ducks from that point on. We hatched a baby for Frank and Gertie less than a year later, Norman and they lived in the front yard as one happy little family. Unfortunately, we lost Gertie and Norman this past spring and it left Frank one lonely ole duck. Sure he had two geese to keep him company, but he needed more. So, enter in the new troops! The tall black one in the back is Lincoln, the white one is Aflac, the black one to the left is Jefferson and Rutherford is brown in the middle. They aren't anything fancy, we just picked them out of the tub at Orscheln's, but they have made Frank a much happier duck and have brought a lot of happiness to our front yard.

Today is my baby's 18th Birthday! Happy Birthday Colton!

Time to catch up!

I have fallen behind on my blogging, so I will take a little time to catch up! Friday night we won our football game 20-14!! I am so proud of our boys for the fantastic job they did. We were the underdogs and pulled it out.

Saturday was pretty quiet. Hubby and I spent a nice romantic evening alone cleaning the garage. Sunday was a Wal-Mart trip and we stopped to see my sister for a little bit. Sunday night despite the wind, we had a bonfire with hot dogs and marshmallows. There was also a tad bit of drinking involved before the night was over! Monday was quiet again with a lot of resting up to come back to work!

It is now Tuesday and still uneventful. I am loving life right now!

Finally Football Friday!

D

Friday is finally here and we finally got our senior shirts today! Woot! We play Carrolton tonight and they are pretty tough, but are plagued with several illnesses and injuries, so we may have a shot after looking so good last week. Whatever the outcome we will be proud of our boys anyway!

Thursday is here!

Thursday is here. That means taco night at Washington Street! I really look forward to them each and every week! Thursday also means we are only a day away from our football home opener against Carrolton! It is only supposed to get up to 74 tomorrow with a low of 47, so it should be good football weather! Go Bulldogs!

It is also Alumni weekend here in town and I have an event free weekend. Hear that? NOTHING planned and it is wonderful! Now this doesn't mean I will sit around 3 days and do nothing but it opens up so many options, you know, besides watching Food Network and reading trashy novels! But, if that is what I choose to do, I can do it! 

I am at a loss of words today, so I guess I will wrap it up and try again tomorrow.

It is Wednesday, Hump Day!

Good Wednesday to everyone!

My day didn't start off quite like I wanted it to, but it has gotten better, not wonderful, but better. I think had I went to bed at a decent time instead of up doing damage control half the night and worrying about it the rest of the night I might have felt better today. But I really don't want to talk about that right now. We got another inch of rain last night/this morning and it looks like more is moving in.

We have a new kitten. Kinda. Bridgette our stray cat who has been living with us for the past 2 years like we are a hotel with room service, but still doesn't trust us enough to actually touch her, gave birth about 5 and a half weeks ago, but was certain we would harm it and hid it the best she could all this time. Well, last night she came out to eat and that little darling followed her! She is adorable! She is fluffy yellow with big blue eyes! (much prettier than her mommy for sure) She put up some protest when Destiny picked her up, but I think she liked the loving she got once she was held. Now our goal is to tame her so she will trust us and be part of the family or so she can go to a good home.

Jasper is growing much faster than I want him too and it is time to think about weaning him and moving him into his big boy house instead of sleeping in Mommy's bedroom. He sure is a lively fellow and gives the girls and the cats a run for their money when he is around. Heads up or you will have horns planted about mid calf! (he has outgrown the ankles) I need to take and post new pics of him since he is losing his baby hair and growing in actual fur.

Enough for now, maybe I will go out and do something exciting so I can blog about it tomorrow!
