Weekend Highlights

I took James to his first Circus this weekend. We had a great time! He was mostly impressed with the animals, of course, but was probably a little too young to enjoy some of the other acts. The circus hasn't changed much from what I remember (except the admission fee!) but is still a pretty fun thing to do. Here we are in a famous "take it yourself" picture and then James with his ($20) souvenir.





I also impressed myself with a little Halloween decorating. I am not the best decorator in the world, but I am pretty happy with what I did and it makes James happy and that's what counts!





And, now, for THE most exciting part of the weekend..............





There are GAMECOCK fans in Oklahoma!! This car was parked in the church parking lot yesterday morning, and yes, I just had to take a picture! You can't tell in this picture, but the plate holder is from a car dealership in Charleston. If you know anything about me and my car dealer background, of course you know this is extra exciting. James even noticed it and said, "Cocky on that truck!" I said, "Yes, I know, it's so exciting isn't it!" I don't think he got it, but still a proud moment. Even though they lost this weekend :-( But that's ok! I was seriously tempted to leave a note, and say "Hi, you don't know me, but can we be friends?!" I sorta hoped to run into them when leaving, but that didn't happen. Maybe next time. It may be a bad sign that this sort of thing is exciting to me, but I can live with that. :-)

Oh my gosh you should have left a note on that car! You should totally scope out the parking lot for that car next Sunday. Y'all could have football get togethers! :)
