I need a weekend to recover from this weekend!

 I had visions of a wonderful, restful weekend with my family. We'd have a great time at the EBA football game, we'd have great food, we'd watch the Dawgs beat some team wearing orange! We would NOT run Ali's 4-H project right down to the deadline... Well.. The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
Saturday morning after our Friday night ER visit, I was confident a little pink eye would not ruin our day! Poor Ali Grace wanted Aunt Beth to see her cheer Saturday morning SO BADLY! I told her it was fine to miss the game if she felt bad, but she was determined to cheer. She really felt awful! We put in her numbing drops, then her antibiotics and then bought her a pair of blingy sunglasses, and did the best we could do! She made it until half time, and then conceded that she needed some rest. We did the best we could to laugh about it, and at one point we chanted "You say PINK! I say EYE! PINK! EYE! PINK EYE! She didn't find it humorous.

Ali cheering with her sunglasses! Uncle Ernie said she looked like she should be on an episode of Celebrity Rehab!

The two yahoos had a great time running around Rogers Field together. Nanny could barely keep up!


Addie and Colten were pretty much joined at the hip all weekend. They were up EARLY this morning for breakfast at Poppy and Nanny's. I don't think Addie even brushed her hair until mid morning!

No telling what the three of them talked about while sitting on the fence this morning!

I hope they always love each other this much!

We never intended to run it right down to the wire getting Ali's bee project done, but this week was just ridiculous! Thank GOODNESS for Aunt Beth, the resident elementary teacher, who helped Ali lay out her poster design. 

We think her project turned out really well! She worked hard on it, as did the other eight college degrees involved.  :)

Shortly after Ernie, Beth, and Colten headed home, Ali Grace finished up the final details and Pete drove her into town to put up her display at the fair grounds. We're looking forward to next weekend at the fair, and seeing how Ali Grace did! 

And just so the weekend could end with a bang, Addie Belle Bennett lost her SECOND tooth in two weeks! 

I was pretty consumed with Ali Grace this weekend given her pink eye, her ball game and her 4-H project, but Addie Belle gets the FUN AWARD this weekend. She and Colten partied it up. Up and down the stairs, up and down the road, up and down the fence, etc.. It was crazy, but I love crazy. It keeps me from going insane.
