Rise and Shout



So, the biggest home game of the year was on Saturday against Florida State. I thought that I would go the extra mile to show my support for the Cougars by coloring my hair blue for the game. It was pretty liberating actually. Well, my show of support didn’t help the Cougars, who were soundly defeated by the Seminoles. There have been many excuses for the loss, but I think it is because they didn’t do the haka.

Niner

So today was an unofficial holiday. 9-9-9 (in case you can't figure out why it's because all of the numbers are the same when writing the date). I thought it was cool, but apparently some people take the celebrating to a whole new level. I knew something was up when Owen made pancakes with nines in them made out of chocolate chips. Apparently it is really big to celebrate these types of days in their family. So, according to tradition of following the Barnes' lead in celebrating holidays in a particular way (first it was chili dogs on Halloween) we made a cake. It turned out pretty well. Happy "Niner" everyone! (P.S. Notice Owen's shirt in the picture. How does he always end up wearing that shirt when a camera is around?)
