This weekend gets credit for starting a little early. Stillwater High School had THURSDAY Night Lights (2nd of 3 for this season - so weird) this week when they hosted Choctaw. SHS Pioneers worked hard after the tough loss at Lawton last week and came out with the "W" improving their record to 6-1. Great showing and a wonderful fall night for some football. As usual, there is s pre-game pic, and I had to throw one in of Molly and Lara working hard...
But the best part of this weekend was America's Largest Homecoming at Oklahoma State University! Emma joined us for most of the festivities, too. Friday night was Walkaround where we spent time looking at the AMAZING house decs created by the Greek houses. We marveled at the intricate pomping, and we ooh'd and ahh'd at the mechanics of the big scenes and the special effects in others. I made our group stop in at the tent where we could get a family picture with Pistol Pete - can't wait to get a print of that!
Saturday morning was Sea of Orange Parade time. Spent with so many people we love! Nana and Grandpa, the Hatfields, the DeFreitas's, and even some extended family from Kentucky! You never know who is going to show up at our little spot to watch the parade!
While some of us watched the game at home, Lara was across town babysitting 2 little boys so their parents could enjoy the game. And of course, so she could earn a little cash! Emma went to Perkins to help Nana and Grandpa unpack some more. She also went to a birthday party for her long-time friend Brock that evening. That party broke up early when a big storm blew threw and rained them out!!! Sunday was pretty relaxed as well. Lara had to go to the high school for a football practice, as we have ANOTHER Thursday game this coming week! We had dinner, our family meeting, and got ready for another fun week - leading in to Fall Break!
And just as a note on my 2020 Project - I started this blog Friday before Walkaround. I thought about finishing it MANY times during the week, but it was QUITE a week for me, and i didn't get back to it until 1/2 way through the next weekend! I knew there would be weeks like this! :)
