Haahaa! We have those at our summer Fair too. <br /><br />I gasped when I read the "old lady" line and thought exactly the same as you! :D <br /><br />Cuckoo is just waaaaaay too cute. Gary got quite a kick out of it too and now refers to my bra as "that thing you wear under your shirt".

No roasted seeds for me. =(<br />I witnessed an UGLY scene at a soccer game once too.

Same as we're known for our teenagers going to Aiya Napa in summer and spending their days drunk, disgraceful and crossing off the full complement of STDs... Many football matches have police guards. Often pubs will only allow supporters of one team to enter. Many people are arrested. It's been (largely) improving over recent years, but it seems the world of professional football is full of thugs.<br /><br />They started on September 1. A few had an aisle or so for Halloween. Now it's gonna be full on Christmas, and then on January 1, the Easter eggs will come out.<br /><br />No pumpkin pie for COW? Awwww g'wan! It's SO GOOD! And with nutmeg all over the top and homemade pastry and pumpkinny-deliciousness... I might even try my hand at it - I got a pumpkin...Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-3626170373950584572013-11-01T14:16:34.930-04:002013-11-01T14:16:34.930-04:00I love the pumpkin pictures!

As the parents and coach got angrier, the kids got worse and worse. <br /><br />I have often wondered what games would be like if parents couldn't watch. Or had to watch from a remote location on closed circuit TV. I'm thinking the kids would have a lot more fun.<br /><br />Thanks.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-84051282424616536942013-11-01T13:52:44.676-04:002013-11-01T13:52:44.676-04:00I wouldn't want to be called old either, but I...I wouldn't want to be called old either, but I really wouldn't want to be hit in the head.

The UK is meant to have the reputation for hooliganism - hope y'all don't try to catch us up!<br /><br />I LOVE Cuckoo. His voice and his attitude are SO adorable. And you're adorable too, all snuggled up (right til the point where the kid tries to demonstrate the cheerleader clothes! Ha!) - that's SO how I'll be when the cold weather hits!<br /><br />Um. Why are those pumpkins on a Christmas tree? That seems weird to mix the seasons!<br /><br />But awesome that you got them and had fun.

(For being called old AND getting hit in the head with a soccer ball on the same day!)<br /><br />That video cracked me up, what a cutie! And I totally agree with your message to the cheerleaders - if even a 4-year-old feels uncomfortable because of what you're wearing, you might want to rethink your wardrobe (or lack thereof).<br /><br />Looks like you guys had a blast pumpkin carving! We didn't do a whole lot last night, just watched some Ghost and Mr. Chicken with the family and ate pizza and chocolate.

I didn't catch the old though. Probably because I am old and it would have been the appropriate thing to say if the ball had hit me. Parents need to chill at these things.
