Weekend with Scruffy

We had an extra family member this weekend.  His name is Scruffy and he is Cal's class pet.  Each child has a turn bringing him home and the parent's have to take pictures of what Scruffy does with the family and then we write in a journal and add the pictures to send back so the child can share their weekend with the class.

Cal brought Sruffy home on Thursday night because they were out of school Friday for conferences.  We didn't do anything Thursday night, so no pictures.  On Friday, while Brady was at school, we worked on his star poster that is also due on Monday.  Here is Scruffy checking out the star poster.

Matt finished work at 12 and we picked Brady up at 1:00.  Matt, Cal and I had not had lunch, so we went to eat Mexican then headed to a little church pumpkin patch.  Cal will do the BIG pumpkin patch for a field trip, so we just went to the small one close by.  Brady, Cal and Scruffy piked out a pumpkin.  As you can see Brady and Scruffy went for a small pumpkin while Cal went for one that we will be able to carve.

Here was my favorite pumpkin, but I didn't ask Matt to get it.  Thinking about going back for it.

It has orange, white and green all in one pumpkin. 

Here is my short new "do".  Went short on Wed.

Saturday we left for Tuscaloosa around 9:30.  The parade was at noon and the game was not until 8:10.  Thank goodness we decided to stay with Matt's grandmother Saturday night so we did not have to drive home.  The boys had a nice time at the parade then we went to eat lunch and rest at Matt's grandmother's house then went back to campus around 5.  We went into the game and Brady was asleep before kick-off.  Cal was starting to nod off just before the end of the 1st quarter.  We put them to bed and watched the rest of the game from the comfort of Mimi's den.

Cal, Grandmother, and Brady

Please note......Brady is smiling!

Brady thinking "there sure is a lot of FILLER in this parade"!

I LOVE BOTH OF THESE LITTLE FACES!

Outside the stadium.  Wish you could see all the people packed in behind us waiting on the players bus to arrive.

Brady sacked out. 

Cal getting one last picture with Scruffy before we left the stadium.  He and Brady were both back asleep in the car shortly after this picture was taken.
