Finally Football Season!

We love football season here in the Church household! It's one of the things that makes fall my favorite season. Brian and I have always enjoyed catching as many good games on a Saturday as we can, and that tradition is continuing on in our kids (the 3 older ones, anyway). They like asking what team is which color, reading the numbers to figure out the score, telling how much time is left, etc. Now I'm not saying they stayed glued to the TV or know all the ins and outs of the rules, but I'm not lying when I say that they do watch the games and enjoy them! We also have "Football Appetizer Dinner" most every Saturday in the fall, where we make a whole dinner out of appetizers and we all eat in the living room in front of the TV. They think that's a huge treat! In fact, a couple years ago when Peyton was eating her first appetizer dinner of the season, she pointed to her plate and said "We should do this again, sometime, Mom!" She was just so excited to be eating a fun dinner like that! This past Saturday all the kids wore their Arkansas State Red Wolves gear. ASU wasn't even in town, but they knew it was the first Saturday of college football so they were excited to wear them. At least it was a shade of red to cheer on the big game of the day.....Alabama's Crimson Tide vs. the Clemson Tigers. Roll Tide! We won! Also, ASU pulled off a huge upset down in College Station against Texas A&M. Must have been because of the kids' shirts!
Tonight's big game is Tennessee at UCLA. Brian grew up a Tennessee boy, so he and Dawson sported the orange and white today. I know most people say you can't be a Tennessee fan AND an Alabama fan, but Brian's figured out a way!
