A couple of weeks ago was Decorah's Homecoming. Last year we went to a number of football games which the girls really enjoyed (mostly because they loved the marching band, the cheerleaders, and the opportunity to have a snack), but this was the first year the girls - mostly Livy - seemed to catch on to the whole "school spirit" thing. Livy got to buy red and blue beads at school in the morning, learned a Decorah Vikings cheer with actions (super cute - I should record it!), got to have a special out-of-uniform day, and got out of school early on Friday so she could watch the Homecoming Parade! Usually I walk with the teachers during the parade, but this year, I meet up with Olivia instead. As expected, she loved the opportunity to snag some special treats before heading back to mom's classroom for the very-awesome (in her opinion) chance to write on the white-boards and play with the special scissors and construction paper! This is the first time Liv's gotten to hang out in my room this year, and she loves doing so - I hope she always thinks hanging out with mom is so great!
Later that night we did head to the football game - it was a gorgeous night! We sat on the dike this year which turned out to be great as the kids raced around with friends. Oh, and by the way, Decorah won! (Can't say I actually
watched much of the game though.)
Not the greatest picture, but here's one of the girls and me wearing our matching Decorah gear! By the way - I doubt that I can squeeze into that shirt any longer. This picture was taken at 34 weeks pregnant. I'll take another picture this Friday (36 weeks).
