Auburn

It was that time of year again.  Time to pack up and take the kids to the Auburn Homecoming game.  Yes, I know we are not exactly awesome at football this year but you still show up.  Brian was definitely looking forward to seeing Auburn win a game.  The first quarter I was a little nervous but Auburn came through with a win...finally.

In spite of an upset tummy (FYI it is NOT a good idea to go rolling down huge hills after lots of M&M's and lemonade...hence the wardrobe change) Julianna clearly had the best time.  She danced, sang, yelled, jumped and cheered Auburn to a victory.  Brian told her about football and she listened with open ears and a smile on her face.  I asked her when I was putting her to sleep if she had fun and she said "I love Auburn."

Brian asked me on the way home if I had fun.  Hmm.  Taking 3 kids under 5 to a football game is tough and exhausting so my answer: I love that we make the effort.  Then I gave it more thought and looked though my pictures.  I love Auburn.  I love driving into the town.  I love that by making the effort to go to football games my kids will know Auburn.  I love that they run and play tackle in front of Samford Hall.  I love that they clap to the fight song and pretend they know the words.  I love they know Aubie says "War Eagle HEY!"  I love they like Toomer's Lemonade.  I love to see them playing in toilet paper hanging from our beloved trees.  I hope by taking them each year to this place Brian and I love they will love it and maybe call it their school someday.

 They got that right!
