Just a journal post…

No photos, just a quick update as I wait on Mel, as usual.  Tonight we are going to an annual “Pre-Football Kick-off Party…while we are all still undefeated,”  as the invitation reads.  It’s always fun to see how many of “Mel’s” Stadium pants and skirts show up at the party.  I’m sporting my garnet USC skirt, which just makes me so excited and so ready for USC football season!!

We had a great Saturday today.  Much needed after our usual week of dance, church, homework, life.  Mel took the girls to the Midnight Rooster for waffles this morning and then headed over to Byerly Park for “Bark at the Park,” a 5K fundraising race benefiting the Darlington County Humane Society….great cause.   Mel was to present the awards, and from what I’ve heard, McCanless and Mary Clare upstaged him and stole the show. I have yet to get the true story from Mel, however.  After lunch the girls and I hit the pool, with everyone else in town.  About 4 hours later, sun-kissed and waterlogged, we loaded up with the Fort girls and headed home. (It seems we never leave the pool without a pal or two with us.)  We played around outside for a while, I threw all four girls in the tub and it was time for pizza!!  Mel is now on his way back to the Fort house to deliver McCanless, Eliza and Jennie for a sleepover over there.  He’ll drop off Mary Clare at BB and PaPa’s house and we’ll have a few hours alone for the first time in probably 6 months.  Life is busy.  Life is crazy.  Life is great.
