Eats Shoots and Leaves

Punctuation is important for meaning, grammatically speaking.

Susan and Jacob were invited to a media frenzy around the

University of Minnesota football program and were given

field passes and Golden Gopher swag, including this shirt.

It says "No More Minnesota Nice" to let the opponents know

that their football team would not afford them the level of

hospitality for which this state is well known.

At our house, we think it really says:

"No More Minnesota. Nice!"

(with no offense to the very nice people of Minnesota, of course)

Come home soon.

The Gophers came out swinging in this one.

MarQueis Gray threw for two TDs and ran for two TDs, before halftime.

Ultimately it was a 44-7 romp for U Minnesota, probably because of Susan and Jacob.

A Winning Weekend

After watching Alabama destroy Michigan, we celebrated Sophie's

new found joy of performing hand stands (gotta be good for upper arm strength)

Chef Hannah's sandwiches were a hit!

Noah is prepared to score seven goals in a row.

Samuel says the big winner is "Monkey Preschool Lunchbox"

(app of the year according to all two year olds in my house)

Finally, we celebrated labor day with our mystery friends, with delicious grilled fish, hot dogs,

slaw, broccoli salad, potato salad, pasta salad, beans, and coney sauce. But the best was kept

for last, a massive apple cobbler with ice cream on top. Yummy!
