I'm really excited about fall being here. I have no idea why. I'm usually a spring/summer girl. But the cooler weather, sweaters and football games sounds so appealing to me! I was all excited this week to see that our weekends this fall are almost all open. So this morning I set out to schedule in some football games for us. We have three schools that we need to cheer for (luckily they are in three different conferences so we don't have to worry about one playing another!). Kris is an alumni (football and college) of Augsburg college. I'm an alumnae of the University of Minnesota and my cousin plays football for Minnesota State, Mankato. I looked at all three school's schedules today and made up a tentative football schedule as follows:

Saturday September 30 - Augsburg vs Concordia (Homecoming!)
Saturday October 7 - Augsburg vs Wartburg (maybe)
Saturday October 14 - Mankato vs Duluth
Saturday October 21 - U of M vs North Dakota State (maybe)
Saturday October 28 - Augsburg vs Gustavus Adolphus (maybe - at Gustavus - maybe our neighbors - both Gustavus alumni would like to join us?!)
Saturday November 4 - U of M vs Indiana (Homecoming!)
Saturday November 11 - Mankato vs Western Washington (maybe - depending on weather)
Saturday November 18 - U of M vs Iowa (maybe)

That's a lot of football! We will most certainly make one game for each school, most likely the Sept. 30, Oct. 14 and Nov. 4 games. The others are all maybe's right now depending on weather, schedules and babysitters (Annika will attend Augsburg and Mankato games but not U of M games). Yay! I'm so excited!

Last night I asked Annika what she wanted for dinner. She said strawberries. I said okay, let's put on your shoes so we can go to the store and get some. We first headed to Kohl's and Famous Footwear to look for shoes (for me) and clothes (for her). After those two errands I asked her again what she wanted for dinner. She again said strawberries. We went to the grocery store and got some strawberries (and yogurt, milk, bread, etc. - you know). When we got home, Annika proceeded to eat half the 1 pound container of strawberries and still asked for more. I guess she really wanted some strawberries!
