I’m not much of a football fan or follower. In fact, I really don’t like sports that much at all, but I thought I’d write about the BYU/U of U game since my co-workers and I have been guessing the scores for each of the BYU games during this season. I must say I’ve been doing really well, which is quite surprising since I normally take the average of everyone’s scores because I know nothing about football.

However, this week, I lost my chance at some points and I went from second to third place! Whenever BYU and U of U play each other, I always guess that the score will be 31/34 because two or three of their games have turned out with that score. This season both teams had won the past seven games, BYU being 8/2 and U of U being 8/3. One of my co-workers told me that U of U had won against better teams, so I went with the U. (I think he tricked me, so he could take second since we were tied.) My dad got a pretty good birthday present today since BYU won the rivalry game. The score was 17/10.

Other than the game, we had a fun day yesterday because our friends’ son, Jack, came over to visit. Ali and Tyler had tickets to the game and at the last minute found out they needed a ticket for Jack if they were going to take him. They asked us if we’d watch him. Of course! When would we ever turn down time to spend with Jack?

While Jack was over at our house, we read stories, played with blocks, played with the kitties, watched some of the Pixar shorts (his favorite was Knick Knack), and talked up a storm. For example, while I was reading Hansel and Gretel to Jack, he said the funniest thing. We got to the part where Gretel pushes the witch into the oven and Jack noticed that the door was closed in the picture. He pointed to the door and said, “that’s a safety violation.” It’s amazing what a three year old will say.

There were two other things of note that Jack said yesterday that made me laugh and realize why I love him so much. First, after he ate lunch, he wanted to wash his hands and his face. We went upstairs to the bathroom. Our bathroom has two sinks, whereas, his doesn’t. As we walked in, he held his hands out in surprise and said, “which sink will I use to wash my hands and my face?”

Finally, it was time for Jack to take a nap. Corey asked him if he was ready for one and his reply was, “but I’m still awake!” He said this with a stern look on his face and his hands on his waist. :lol:
