Painting & Penguins - 264/365

It was a dreary, gray day today. 

We didn't do much in the morning, just hung around the house. 

This afternoon, Jim was going to attempt the YSU game with his mom and dad. The whole family was supposed to meet up for tailgating, but with a bunch of little ones and a ton of rain, most decided to stay home. 

Luckily for this game, Jim's dad had tickets to a corporate tent. Jim, Greg and Nikki were able to hang out under a giant tent and stay dry. There was a nice buffet, with hot dogs, sausage, beans and salad. They sat and chatted for awhile before heading into the game. 

They started walking about ten minutes till kickoff, and it miraculously stopped raining for them! It never rained another drop during the game. YAY! The game itself was a blow out in YSU's favor! They ended up winning 59-17! 

Jim's mom even caught a giveaway football during the game. She was nice enough to send it home with Jim to give to Reagan. Reagan was thrilled with it and called grandma to say "thank you" later in the evening. 

While they were enjoying the game, Reagan and I just hung around the house. Raymond and Jenny stopped over to deliver some bows they bought for Reagan! They were so cute! There was one with fall leaves and one with a super cool bat. She loved them both! She loves her Uncle Ray and Aunt Jenny!
After they left, we ended up painting pumpkins. It was so fun! 

Reagan picked out some tiny pumpkins awhile back and also some medium sized ones. She had asked me to paint a horse and cow on one and then Dora and Boots on the other. Today was the day to attempt that. 

She started painting her baby pumpkins and did a great job! She only wanted to paint to tops, which was cute. She loved mixing up all the paint, too. I on the other hand, struggled a bit, but in the end, I got Dora done. I am pretty proud of my Dora! She didn't come out too shabby! LOL! 

This evening, it got sunny and nice, so Reagan, Brinkley and I took a stroll around the neighborhood.

It was a pretty good day, despite the ugly, rainy start.
