End of Baseball, Beginning of Football

This weekend was heaven for sports fans. Notre Dame on Saturday, Giants on Sunday, and then to top it all off the BIG Boise State vs. Virginia Tech game on Monday. We also managed to fit in a trip to the pool, a bike ride, swim lessons, work outs (we are both doing P90X- I'm only on day 7), and a trip out to look for football pads for the boys Halloween costumes. Ahhhhh....I wish they all were three day weekends!

Before the Giants game on Sunday evening Tanner ran upstairs and came down dressed in all of his Giants paraphenalia- including a pillow and blanket, hat, and fuzzy sweats. It was so funny because he just randomly disappeared for a few minutes and then reappeared- a vision in Orange and Black. They won, of course, capitalizing on the Padres 10 game losing streak.

What can I say about the Boise State nail biter...... it

was much anticipated and hyped and it lived up to its promise. It was one of the best football games I have ever watched. Who needs an NFL team when you've got Boise State? We had

friends over and the kids all played their own game at halftime in the dwindling light of late summer. Blue and Orange is so big here, you can't help but get caught up in the fever. We were all decked out in our Boise State gear- even Tanner's monkey who has his own Broncos football uniform. We ordered in pizza and let everyone stay up too late for a school night. We knew we would pay for it on Tuesday but we couldn't let them miss it- and it came down to the last minute so there was no going to bed early! It was so much fun. National Championships HERE WE COME!
