Weekend Re-Cap

I left work about an hour and a half early Friday for a follow up with Tuff's doctor on his ears. He seems to have kept the same ear infection for over a month, so a few weeks ago they gave us his 3rd antibiotic. It was supposed to be one of the strongest antibiotics. So just to be safe, I wanted to have his ears checked to make sure it worked. And it worked. Buddy's ears were nice and clear. I figured they were good to go since he has been in such a better mood but I wanted to be positive. From the doctor's office we headed to Bluecoast to get some dinner before heading to Dalton's football game. His game was in Donelson (Nashville) and it was raining on and off all day Friday so we were all hoping it would stop before the game started. We got lucky, once the game started, it ended up being a pretty decent night with no more rain. The boys lost 44-6. They don't seem to be having the best year so far but they are such a young team. I think in the next year or two, they will really be worth seeing. Right now though, Dalton is the only one worth watching. :) Tuff had a good ole time. He does so well at the away games for some reason. He just runs and runs his little heart out. At the home games, he tends to be more whiny and want to be held. I'm not sure what the difference is. Dalton has his first Junior Varsity home game tonight at 6. Jordan has been having to go into work early so he won't be able make it and I'm just not positive me and Tuff will make it either. I guess I'll just have to decide by how I'm feeling this afternoon when the time comes....

Saturday morning Tuff was up and at it by 7. So I got Jordan up and going and we headed to the Boro to get some things done. We started out morning at Cracker Barrell. YUM. We all love Cracker Barrell for breakfast. Of course we can't ever leave there just buying food. We always seem to find stuff in the store. This trip, we got some candle holders that are like a bronze color with dark orange candles that smell of pumpkin spice. Ahhh.... I LOVE fall and I LOVE pumpkin spice smell. It's great! We also got Tuff a new UT T-shirt. They always have cute UT stuff during football season. After breakfast, we headed over to Once Upon a Child to pick up a few more winter clothes for Tuff. Once Upon a Child is a nice consignment store in Murfreesboro. It's good for finding gently used clothes, furniture, toys, etc. They have it all. I didn't really rack up but I did leave with 3 shirts, a pair of jeans, a puzzle, and a ball all for $26. Pretty good huh? Tuff LOVES balls. He has every kind of ball you can imagine but while I was browsing, him and Jordan were playing with a ball so Jordan decided he needed that ball to add to his collection. :) I'm just thankful it's balls and not dolls... We made a stop by the grocery store and headed home to get ready for some COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!! It wasn't a pretty day in our household as Florida State fell hard against Oklahoma 47-17 and Tennessee fell just as hard against Oregon 48-13. Boo. We had my sister Bree, her boyfriend Will, and their little girl Ada to watch the TN game and eat some steaks. Mom stopped by since Dad was working and we had an extra steak to spare. Dalton also stayed the night. It was a good night. I had a good time hanging with Mom and Bree for a while, while the boys watched the game. Here is a few snap shots of my niece Ada with her Uncle Jordan and her Lubby cousin....

I think GIRL looks good on him ;)

Tuff trying to give Ada kisses. He's always loving on her, I think this is a good sign for a sister but daddy disagrees ;)

Sunday, me and Tuff headed to mom's so she could dye my hair. We weren't there long before we headed home to rest the remainder of the afternoon. I left my camera at home so I won't be able to post pictures until tomorrow. But here are a few I took with my phone....

I took these last night....

He was enjoying some quality mommy time before Nite, Nite.

Aunt Tori (my little sister) sent me this one just a few minutes ago... He was in a pretty good mood this morning and it looks to me like he's still hangin on to that good mood....

Happy Monday!!!!
