Our Saturday

In reverse order...we headed out last night to watch the MSU/LSU game with our friends who are LSU grads. I must say until I met the Alexanders I truly believed NOTHING good - or even decent for that matter - could come from that school. They have truly changed my mind about that. They are amazing folks, and we even enjoy watching the game with them. They aren't obnoxious or cruel in any way even though they easily could be. Anyway, all four of us donned State wear. The boy wouldn't cooperate for a picture, but you can still him proudly displaying the logo. The girl finally sorta fits in her cheerleading uniform. She is too adorable, but was none too happy about standing up for a picture.

Earlier that day, I caught them playing with sunglasses. Wouldn't you know they would both take an interest in them AFTER we get home from the beach? They are just too cute, and I think they know it. You should see the girl strutting around...

The kids "slept in" yesterday morning (translate - 7:45 a.m.), and we quickly headed outside after breakfast to enjoy the cooler temperatures (thus why they are still in their pajamas). The girl figured out how to climb the big ladder to slide (we have 2 slides, but one's ladder has more steps). She is such a tiny thing that it is quite funny to watch her pull this off. I was snapping a few pictures when she started crying. I then walked to the side and saw why she was so upset. Watch the video to see how she easily got herself in this predicament (make sure to pause the player at the bottom so you can hear their sweetness). I tell ya, I don't think there's going to be much that will stop her.
