This week in pictures- Juner.

Well, you got to see this week in videos yesterday. Now here are the pictures.
Mama cleaned out the glass cupboard and now we can actually close it. (Mama and papa used to collect glasses when they traveled. Now they just collect sippy cups.) This is for you, Miss Susan.

Grams Cracker made a bargain with Henry. She told him if he could go three days without yelling inside, she'd send him a matchbox car. It took two weeks, but Henry finally made it to three days (non-consecutive) with no screeches. Here's his chart. He has discovered the satisfaction of coloring with a permanent marker. Mama let him color this then told him he wasn't allowed to use it anymore because it bleeds through the paper on to her white counter tops.

At the last minute, one of papa colleagues offered him tickets to the Clemson-Virginia game. Our awesome neighbors agreed to watch Buster and I, and mama and papa took off for Death Valley.

If you watched the game on the TV, it was easy to spot them- they were the ones in orange.
Saturday was Military Appreciation Day. The band lined up in this formation and it took papa a minute to figure out that it was America upside-down.

This spells Clemson, papa.

Looks like everyone had fun.


Here's a video of the first Clemson touchdown. Everyone was pumped until the officials threw a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. Then everyone booed, which mama doesn't think is very sportsmanlike either.

Clemson has a good way to weed out fake fans. During the fight song, you have two opportunities to spell out "CLEMSON." But there's a pause after the O, during which you pretend to wave your imaginary cap around in tribute to Clemson's military school past. It always takes mama a few times to remember the pause and not look like an idiot yelling out the N too soon. But by the end of the game, she had it down.
