Toga! Toga! Toga!

Last night, we had our student ministry back to school party. The theme this year was "Greek Games." Of course this meant that everyone was to dress in their best toga gear! Ella Kate LOVED getting dressed up and kept saying it was Halloween since everyone was in costume. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the evening. Enjoy!

Black and Gold

Hi there. It is Ella Kate. I wanted to tell you all about my first football game of the season. Last night, mommy and daddy took me to see Oak Grove play Sumrall. It wasn't much of a game seeing as OG won 52-0, but I really liked seeing the cheerleaders, dancers, and the band. Mommy said I acted great and she was proud because we only had to go to the restroom 4 times!!! I am such a big girl!!!I caught a ride on daddy's shoulders because we had to park so far away. I was so very excited to be going to football game. When it was over, I kept asking for "one more game, please?"
Brett Farve was at the game. I guess he is bored now that he retired, so he is acting as an honorary coach. I really liked his super bright yellow shoe laces!! Very festive Mr. Farve.
I got to see lots of my friends from church!! I even got to go on the field with the cheerleaders!!
The Golden Spirit dancers let me play with their pom poms too!!! They are very sparkly and I really like sparkly things!!
My favorite babysitter Rachel performed with the band. They did a good job and I loved hearing all the music!
Yep, these people are in our youth group. They don't normally look so silly, but it was redneck theme day. I was a little scared when I saw them though!!! She that boy next to me?? That is Walton and I LOVE him!!!
I was sad when the game ended, but mommy keeps telling me there will be more to see very soon. I sure am ready to get to Starkville!!!!!!!

Chef Ella Kate

Ella Kate LOVES to watch me cook and help out as much as possible, so I decided we would take her love for cooking and her love for pizza and make a Chef Boyardee pizza. She had a BLAST!!!! (and yes, she is only wearing an apron....I didn't want to have to clean pizza sauce off of her clothes!!!)

She was so proud of her creation!!!
