A Little Taste of Fall

We woke up to 58 degrees this morning. It was quite the pleasant surprise!! I am not sure we had even had a low in the 60's yet. Jack went running out to play coming back in saying he needed a sweatshirt! Emma donned jeans, long sleeves, a hat, and a poncho, but I had already put my camera away by the time she had herself put together. I was so tickled at them for thinking it was so cold. Emma even asked for a cup of hot tea when she came in after playing.


These boys are all about baseball these days.


We did learn that if he is going to wear this sweatshirt this year, I am going to have to cut a slit in the front. A lot of tears were spent in the removal of this sweatshirt.

Creed is quite expressive while playing ball.






"Watch this mama!!!" he said over and over again.

Feeling Like a Traitor

Yesterday I was in the Kroger on Rock Prairie Road. They have been doing some remodeling; I would assume in anticipation of the new HEB opening down the road. They have painted and rearranged. They are showcasing their "healthy living" section and opened a bulk bin section. It looked like maybe they were making an area for a "chef" to cook and do live demos but I can't be certain about that. I got the few items I went in for and headed to the self-checkout. Nice Man that knows me and my kiddos was working. He is always so nice and helpful(except when he tries to give Creed a sticker ;-)) and all of a sudden I felt a twinge of betrayal. I have been looking so forward to the new HEB opening knowing that once it does I"ll only go to Kroger for loss leaders, and I felt like a traitor. How crazy is that??? Sorry Kroger; HEB is my first love in groceries.

P.S. HEB's gas station is already open and it is 10 cents cheaper than the Barron Road station and the one by McDonalds. No betrayal there since we try to fill up in Bryan where it is usually 10 cents cheaper than places we might go to in College Station.
