Georgia vs BAMA

Georgia played BAMA on Saturday. Before the game, Ruth and I decided it would be fun to decorate our neighbors house, he is a HUGE BAMA fan. Of course, Ruth and I are Georgia fans. We nicely decorated his house, not disrupting his nice house or yard. He arrived home, saw what we had done and immediately removed our beautiful Georgia decorations. We heard nothing.......until 10:45 p.m. after BAMA beat Georgia 40-31 :(

Our wonderful signs and pumpkins were no longer wonderful anymore :(
This is what his house looked like before he arrived home!
This is our wonderful and creative artwork on his driveway, that he washed away with his hose! We tried, but Georgia still lost :(

Bentonville Fountain

After soccer on Saturday, we went downtown Bentonville. We ate lunch, walked through the Walton 5 & 10 museum, and played by the fountain. We had a nice time and the weather was great!

Flat Stanley comes for a visit!

My friend's daughter is doing a Flat Stanley project in her second grade class. Flat Stanley is flat because a poster fell on him. He travels to California to visit his family in an envelope. Flat Stanley came to Arkansas this week! So, we took Flat Stanley around NW Arkansas!

Amanda's soccer game

The kids had fun with Flat Stanley, but it is time for him to go back to Illinois!

Will and soccer

Will is playing soccer on Saturday mornings. They teach them about soccer and at the end they play a little game. Will participates in the beginning, but needs encouragement to play in the game. I ran up and down the field holding his hand, in order to get him to play! He is getting better each time he plays!

Amanda and Miller

Miller lives next door. He loves Amanda. When he drives by our house he says "Mana?" His mom and sister have to tell him that she is at school. Miller says "why?" When he sees her, he gets really excited and says her name over and over!!

Fall Soccer has begun!

Amanda and her friend Bailey are on opposing teams. Notice the colors! South Carolina and Auburn!! Where is the UGA red??????
Amanda was excited to start the fall soccer season. She wasn't happy about taking out her earrings. She said it hurt. After the earrings were out, she was ready to play! Will is playing soccer as well. He is too young to be on a team, but he is in a class learning about soccer. I will add those pictures soon, he had a great time!

Amanda's her #1 fan!!

About a month ago, Amanda sent Paula Creamer a letter with a homemade bracelet with Paula's name in beads. Two weeks later we were watching an LPGA tournament on TV and we thought we saw Paula Creamer wearing a beaded anklet on TV. Today, Amanda received an envelope with a personalized signed picture from Paula Creamer!!!! Amanda almost cried, she was soooo excited!!!

Julie's Classroom

Here are some pictures of my classroom before school started. The kid's artwork now decorates the empty walls!
