Sunday Night Football

Nothing like a fun game of football between 3 boys and their  . . . . GRANDMA?!?

The Mississippi State Game

Another big game weekend.
We had lots of family come to town to spend the weekend & go to the game - my mom, my grandparents, my sisters, 2 of my cousins, & my cousin's boyfriend.
Even in defeat :( , it was a fun time!
The salesman with his buttons!!
"Buy one, get one free" which to Taylor meant
"The 1st one's free, the 2nd is $1!"
Tanner's fave part!
"Tough loss, but that doughnut I just ate sure hit the spot."

Market Day

/*The 2nd grade at our school has a community theme - our own small community modeled after a real community - and at the end of each grading period we celebrate with Market Day.  Each student is responsible for creating a good or providing a service and operating a store. They use community cash - fake school money earned by completing classroom jobs - to shop at stores all over the 2nd grade community.

Mr. Taylor Bowens made cute gameday buttons & sold them for $5 each. We cut big circles out of posterboard, decorated them with team logos (UAB, Bama, Auburn, & Georgia), laminated them, then hot glued pins on the back. They were a huge hit!


On a side note, Taylor had several extra buttons left over & decided to take them to the game the next day & sell them for REAL money. He is a very, um, AGGRESSIVE salesman. One of his victims, I mean customers, said he told her the buttons were buy one get one free. She asked him how much they cost and he said the 1st was free, the 2nd cost a dollar. Nice trickeration. Haha!!
Needless to say he sold out of them. :)

The Troy Game

FUN Day.
HEARTBREAKING Loss.
ANOTHER Football Weekend.
