The Adventures of Allison & Benjamin: Football, Football, Football!!!!

Yesterday was so fun!! We watched football all day! Scott and I woke up yesterday with big smiles because it was the the start of football!!! I know college started last week and there has been preseason games but yesterday was the start of the Steelers and Cowboys season!! So we made it a football weekend!
On Friday, I made Allison a blanket with one side Cowboys and the other Steelers! Scott has a big Cowboys one and I have a Steelers one that my sister made for us and Alli always tries to carry them around and they are just way to big. So I thought what she needed her own. She loves it! It is just the right size for her!! I have some left over fabric so I might make a smaller one for the Sweet Pea!

Then on Saturday we went to cousin David's first tackle football game! He did really good and he looked so tough in his uniform with all his pads and everything!! His team totally kicked some butt and won the game 33 to 6!!! It was hard to cheer againt the other team though because they were the Steelers but we managed! Alli enjoyed watching and Scott got to teach her a little about football!

LIttle Dave is # 15, doesn't he look tough!!

Cheering for Cousin Dave!

Way to go Wolverines!!

Then Saturday night we went to a carnival at our Church. Carnivals/Fairs are things to do in the Fall. And Fall means Football, so it goes with the football weekend, right? Anyway, Alli was too little to ride any of the rides but she did enjoy watching all the people and kids running around and loved watching the rides!! Mom and Dad enjoyed some of the fun food like funnel cake and carmerl apples!!

Then Sunday morning we woke up and got our team gear on!! We went to my parents house to watch the games and Alli was decked out with her Steeler gear (we don't have any Cowboy stuff yet)! She doesn't keep her bow on anymore unless I put it on when she is asleep! But she does like to carry it around and play with it! It's hard to get a good picture of her now that she is walking because she is never still!!! She was so cute during the game! She would clap when we did good. When the Steelers scored in overtime and we all went crazy she joined in the fun and was up at the TV with the big girls clapping and dancing around!!! ( I didn't have my camera handy, but it was so cute)
