Go Texan Y'all!

So, I guess our lives have been boring or something because nothing seems to be happening around here. Every once in a while I think oh I should blog that, but I never have time do it when I think it and then the day passes. This week is we will be celebrating Go Texan Day at school. It's something that is celebrated in the Houston area and everyone pulls out cowboy hats and boots to celebrate our heritage of being the best. It is always tied to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo which I will be attending this year. I hope to make it an annual event for our little family. One day Zachary will be old enough to stay up late and attend a concert with his daddy and me. This year we will be whopping it up with Rascal Flatts. We tried to see them last year, but of course they canceled because the lead singer had a sore throat. We were stuck with Clay Walker and Joe Nichols and a few other guys. The only thing that made that night fun was counting how many songs Joe Nichols sang about a Coupe de Ville. There were at least 3 that I remember and I'm not exaggerating. He must really like that car. So this Thursday Zach has Rodeo Round-up at school. I signed up to be his class helper. He will play games and do fun things. I'm gonna have him wear a bandanna around his neck to get him dressed for the occasion and I will be pulling out my cowgirl boots. I'm excited for Zach to learn about Texas the way I did when I was a little girl. For some reason I think it's fun. He made a little book about Texas at school today and learned about the bluebonnet which is the state flower for all you "other" people. The one thing he took from that lesson is that YOU DON'T PICK IT!! The last time we were at the library we checked out The Legend of the Bluebonnet by Tommie dePaulo. It came out when I was a little girl and I always really enjoyed it. I thought it would be a good read since he would be learning about Texas this week. Zachary was complaining to that the main character in the book had picked the flower and I didn't remember that from the story, but as we read it before quiet time today he had to point out how the little girl was holding a bluebonnet. At least sometimes he listens and most the time he is a good rule abider. Other than that it about covers it for over here. Yee Haw and get a long little doggies!
