is anyone out there???

I smell bacon.

School started this week. With school means the start of football games. And that can only mean one thing. Bacon. We started the tradition last year. After the kids came home from the football games we would have bacon cooked and ready for them to eat. The first time, Nicholas came through the door and yelled, "I smell bacon!" He had such a huge smile on his face, we've been doing it ever since. Then we sit around and hear about how they did in marching band at the game while they ate. Kind of a late night breakfast, if you will.

Anyway. Last night at breakfast, Sarah told us that on the way home from the game in Buckhannon she got in trouble on the bus. We were very surprised. Sarah never gets in trouble at school. One of the chaperones busted her for sitting in the back of the bus. In the same seat with a boy. This is clearly against the rules.

But it gets better. Apparently, she sat and argued with the chaperon saying that she'd done it all last year and even as recently as last week on the band trip to Kennywood. She did her best, but in the end she had to change seats.

And so did her brother.
