Colbert for President?
Could be . . . if people like us and the other hundreds (with their blasted posters!) continue to show support at his South Carolina campaign rounds!

Baby Cate
We spent the weekend at Jennifer and Travis' for baby Cate's big shower! And since Jennifer has been on bed rest for the past two weeks, I know she was anxious to get out and do something . . . even if she still had to sit!
We were also excited to bring Salsa with us on this trip since Jennifer and Travis have a fenced in backyard . . . and their big, black dog, Mac! We jump at any opportunity for socialization!
We could tell Salsa was sad to leave.
In the meantime, Alex became quite enthralled with Grady.
"D, come in here!"
"D, come in here!"

They are no doubt BFF.

All Hail to the Pumpkin!
Saturday night we were excited to have Devin & Erin and Dave & Kristy over for dinner . . . and, luckily they didn't mind me trying a few new recipes out on them!
As you've seen with the arrival of fall, pumpkins are everywhere! My monthly magazine subscriptions convinced me that they can be used for way more than just decorating. I tested out a pumpkin pork recipe (made with crushed pumpkin seeds) as well as a sweet pumpkin dessert (Pumpkin Crisp-courtesy of Grady's sister Fleming).
I have to say . . . I'm interested to try more pumpkin!
Cheers!

Kindergarten Quote (of the Day)
As you've probably gathered from earlier posts, kindergarten is quite a unique age. There isn't much they don't take literally. To make certain they completely understand, it is necessary to spell out everything.
Before many lessons, I remind the kids how they should be sitting on the floor (with the usual "criss cross applesauce") and make sure their eyes are on the person speaking . . .
Today, however, my assistant principal was coming to observe, so I made all the necessary precautions one might normally make before your boss comes in . . . and I quizzed them.
"What should we do if we need to say something?"
Raise our hand! (as they all raise their hands)
"Where should your hands be?"
In our laps! (as their hands are clearly in their laps)
"How should you be sitting?"
Criss cross applesauce! (and showing their perfect posture)
"Where should your eyes be?"
On the speaker! (All but one was pointing their finger at me . . . the one not pointing at me had her finger pointing straight up in the air . . . at the actual S P E A K E R!)
You gotta love it.
