Chris and I took the boys to my grandma's Saturday to see Uncle Bruce and of course to swim. The boys had fun, they're both swimming sans swimmies now, so they think they're pretty cool. They dive in and swim down to the bottom of the deep end to retrieve items, like dive masks, snorkels and other toys. Of course I encourage them to swim their little hearts out because maybe that will tire them out enough to sleep in the next morning! HA--yeah right.
We also played volleyball in the pool Saturday. I originally played on Chris' team but then determined that was an unfair advantage because he always wins. So after we won I let gram be on his team and Uncle Bruce and I played on a team. We were close to beating them when Chris decided to start "cheating" (well, not really, but that's what I call it) and hit the ball so it just barely goes over the net on the opposite side you're standing. Grr.
Saturday afternoon we started watching the MSU/ND game. Wow--wish I could've been there for that one! Michigan State didn't even look like the same team playing as they were last year. I was impressed but during the whole game, Chris kept saying "wait till the fourth quarter, they'll screw it up, they always do". I was actually getting rather annoyed with it, but deep down I kinda knew it was true, I was just hoping they would prove him wrong. They didn't. Between me, Chris, my grandma and Uncle Bruce, we were all on the edge of our seats, literally, through the whole fourth quarter! I'm sure it was quite a sight! Even my gram's neighbors, Skip & Joanne came over to say goodbye to my uncle but I guess they got the hint when we asked them if they could wait and come back in 8 minutes and 45 seconds (that's how much time was left in the game). Hee Hee. By the time the game had ended and they started overtime I had to leave. Some people turn to alcohol or drugs when dealing with stress...not me! I turn to Papa Clyde's homemade ice cream! YUM! A nice big bowl of Kahlua Fudge mixed with Mint Chocolate Chip was right up my alley. So--Uncle Bruce and I got ice cream and headed back just in time to see the game end---44-41 Michigan State. I'm glad I didn't see the final touchdown, I don't think my nerves could have handled it!

I didn't see the final touchdown either. Awesome game, though. Of course, not so awesome when you're sitting next to Chuck and you kick a field goal from the 53 yard line when you're up by...I don't know...15 points or something. Eek.
