Love and War...aka a little friendly family football rivalry :)

So this was a weekend of love and war in the Wallace household, as the Clemson Tigers played the Miami Hurricanes yesterday!!!  I actually prepared myself for Clemson to lose, being that Miami was ranked #10 and Clemson was clearly not in the top 25 (after numerous last-minute losses this season), but after an intense 4th quarter, and even OVERTIME, the Tigers came out on top and Baby Mills and Mommy were sooo thrilled...Daddy Wallace, on the other hand, not so much. Good thing he was a good sport anyway. :)

Either way, Mills will be pulling for the ORANGE team! :)  Since most of the football rivalry here in SC is in-state anyway, we luckily won't have this family rivalry too often - at least we can all agree to hate the gamecocks each and every year.  And Nicholas wants us to go to all of the home Clemson games once residency is over (which is a good thing, considering we will actually get our money's worth on all the IPTAY dues we pay to Clemson, haha), and of course once Mills is a little older, we'll have to take an annual football trip to Miami, too!  But this year, nonetheless, it was fun to come out victorious!!!

In all honesty though, I have to admit I only saw bits and pieces of the game until the 4th quarter. Why, you may ask...well, we were working a project that was much more worthy - the nursery!  Mom, her best friend Gracie, and her husband, Johnny all came down for the weekend to put up beadboard in the nursery... holy cow, this is no easy DIY project!!  Luckily we had Johnny, the expert, who worked ALL day Saturday (we're talking 7am to 10pm) and plenty of the day today, too.  Nicholas helped him in putting up the actual boards after they were measured, cut, angled, etc... and mom, Gracie, and I layered on the primer, numerous white coats on the beadboard, and got one coat of the baby blue on the walls. We just have one more coat of the blue to go tomorrow, and then comes my FAVORITE part of pulling down the tape and viewing the masterpiece! :)  It already looks so sweet, calming, and serene in there. But there was definitely no rest for the weary this weekend. Other than football and a few quick meals, it was all work! We're SO thankful for all of the time and help we received - we literally could NOT have done it by ourselves! Can't wait for you to see the pics tomorrow!!!
