Skol Vikings!

In honor of the upcoming football season Sam decided to show his support for our local team!


Do you like the helmet? It is a work of art from
my good friend Caryn. She is amazing with knitting needles.
She taught me to knit years ago but this piece of yarn work is
something that would take me months to make. Knowing her
she whipped this helmet up in a few hours.



It even has the trademark Viking horns!



I know the football is all the wrong colors but it is the
only small one we have in the house. That football is actually from
Mike's alma mater. And don't even get me started on how
much Mike is into that football team.



Every sports loving Dad dreams of watching the games
with his kids. The girls have no interest right now...but Sam
is enthralled...mostly by the amazing colors on our big t.v.
The big t.v. that will be around for the first
time for the entire football season.
I am not so sure much will get done around my house this fall.

But then again it may not be so bad.
If the girls are busy playing "kitchen and picnic" downstairs
with their toys on their side of the t.v. room
and Sam is on Mike's lap enjoying the light show.
Me...why I might just go missing...
a game lasts about three hours, right? : )
