Oxford/Labor Day Weekend

  Philip, Kade, and I packed the car and headed to Oxford for the weekend.  We got to the condo Friday night and grilled out with Lovie and Johnny B.  Kade was so excited to be there!  He even got to watch a movie.

We got up Saturday and spent the day watching movies and getting ready for the big game.  After nap time, we got ready and took Kade to the grove.  This was his first trip to the grove, and I think he was a little overwhelmed.  We got to see the football players walk through and heard the band play.  We went to our friends' tent and it was after about 10 minutes that Kade asked when we were going home.  I tried to distract him with cookies and cheetos.  It seemed to work.  Kade got brave and started getting his own food after that.  

Before we headed to the game, we went to the M Club house with Lovie and Johnny B.  We got to visit with some of Ole Miss's past athletes and eat some yummy food.  We also showed Kade the Manning room.

After a good supper in the M Club, we headed to our seats and watched the game.  Kade loved watching the football players and hearing the band.  We even talked about how pretty the cheerleaders were (they had on sequins which made them REALLY pretty).  :)  The Rebs won the game, so we went home happy.

On Sunday we decided we would stay an extra day in Oxford since we didn't have school on Monday.  Phil, Kade, and I went to one of our favorite places, Ya-Ya's frozen yogurt for an early snack and then to Soulshine for supper.  We ate some yummy pizza and played around with the new app on the phone.  We took some fun pictures with some different settings.  Kade even got in on the action.  Enjoy.

The fun wasn't over in Oxford.  Monday morning Philip and I put a Curious George movie on the TV and let Kade watch it while we cleaned.  Well, Kade wasn't watching.  Philip and I kept hearing noise downstairs in the kitchen.  When I walked down to see what it was, I saw a sweet little face with several pots and pans out on the kitchen counter.  He had his head in a drawer.  When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "I'm making wheap honey pie."  Philip and I quizzed him later to find out what exactly was in a wheap honey pie, and he said salsa, chocolate, butter, sticks, and bugs.  I have no idea where he came up with this, but I love it!

Kade and I dropped off Philip at Ole Yazoo and headed home for a much needed nap.  Once he was up, we got Max and then played outside at home.  We enjoyed the last few hours of this wonderful holiday.  Happy Labor Day from the Buchanans!
