Homecoming Weekend

This was Homecoming weekend for UF, so just about everybody had Friday off for the parade. Ada and I took Coby and Cory to watch. Ada works for the UF Foundation, which is somehow connected to the alumni center. They had an area reserved right in front of the stadium at the beginning of the parade. Ada's work also organized a cook-out, so we were able to eat burger and chips while we watched. Can't beat that!
The man in back is riding the BIGGEST cow I have ever seen! I would have gotten a better picture, but to be honest, I was in shock at how BIG it was and then before I knew it, it was passing me by! Seriously. Look how BIG that thing is!

The boys did pretty well until about the last 15 minutes of the parade. Then they started climbing the tree behind us.

Robert took care of the boys yesterday while Ada and I got to go to the UF Homecoming football game. We had a great time and it was an exciting game!
I love November football games here in Florida - the weather is cooler and you get to bundle up! It's just too hot to sit in a stadium for 3 hours in August!

Happy Halloween!

We had a looonnnggg Halloween weekend with many celebrations! First, we had a party with our play-group friends Saturday night. The kids all dressed up and we enjoyed good food and conversation with our friends.
Coby is pouting because he desperately wants the pirate sword from Sofia's costume...


Once he got his hands on it, all was well. Spoiled rotten, and devil horns to beat.
Sunday night we went over to the pumpkin patch down the street for their annual "Trunk-or-Treat" event. They also had games, a bounce house, petting zoo, and trick-or-treating out of the trunk of cars.
On the 31st we met up with Ada and Cory to trick-or-treat in Grandma Bonamie's neighborhood. We had a blast, and got TONS of candy :)
Our two football players were adorable and very popular!
Here are the boys.
Getting 2-year olds to sit still is like herding cats, but we finally got a good one!
After picking up pizza, we headed home to put our feet up and sort our candy.
