Football Wife Fashion {Tuesday 10}
Saturday is the first home game for Fresno State. If you know me in real life, then you know that my Husband pulls out all the stops for Fresno State Football. Tailgates, games, beer, BBQ, and absolutely no "booing" the home team. I've been known to do that a time or two. My bad.
When Lena invited me to co-host Tuesday 10, I suggested we talk about our personal must haves for fall. Mine are centered around Fresno State Football, and more importantly the weather that will be nothing like fall until November. I swear, it's going to be in the 90s until Halloween. Every year, never fails.
I've picked the following items based on my brand new pair of red Toms. That's right the hubby sprung for a new pair in his favorite color Bulldog Red. It's to motivate me and guilt me into attending more than one home game this year. How can I refuse with brand new Toms? I picked pieces that will be awesome on Game Day, especially when the weather gets cooler. I also picked pieces that will make me look like a very casual, polished, and preppy SAHM. A win win RIGHT?
I promise I'll revise my must haves when it's not 100 degrees outside and I can look at my brown boots and jeans without breaking a sweat! And I think I'm going have to promise my hubby that I will attend 4 home games plus tailgates because I seriously need those boyfriend jeans above in my life. I'm currently without boyfriend jeans. Sad.
Tell us what your top 10 fashion must haves for fall, then link up! Or if you are sweating like me and can't even begin to think about wool sweaters, link up 10 of anything.
A big thanks to Lena for letting me tag along.

Kindergarten {The first week}
Found our seat.
What's the first thing a blogging mama does?
Take one for Instagram.
Here is a better smile!
Can't tell you who is more nervous.
Daddy or Caitlin.
Here he is giving her a pep talk.
"It was a great day", Caitlin, 5 years old
And you all would just go on thinking that we
were having a grand old time in Kindergarten.
That we had a painless and tearless first week.
But I don't blog that way.
So here is what happened every morning after the first day.
My big girl, trying to wipe away all the tears before going into class.
You see, she doesn't like that she has to walk in without me.
She has to line up with her classmates and walk to her desk.
Independent of Mom.
Like a big girl.
So every morning we are fine, until we have to line up.
And then the waterworks start.
I put on my brave face.
The one I wore every day last year for four months.
I smile, and tell her how proud I am of my Kindergartner.
That I know she can do it.
That I will be here to pick her up before she knows it.
Then I wait until she is inside, and hide around the corner.
And then peek in the tinted window to see,
what I was pretty sure of,
she is just fine, no tears, taking her place at carpet time.
No one can prepare you for the emotional roller coaster of motherhood.
Thank God, though.
I love the ride.
TGIF {Friday Letters/Instagram}
Dear Blog,
I took a short break.
We needed it.
It wasn't you, it was me.
I came crawling back.
And still this week I have ignored you.
My apologies.
Would you like some flowers?
Dear Hunger Games,
Curses on all your damn districts!
You got me.
Again.
This time with your movie.
Which forced me to re-read the books.
Which forced me to realize that you did a terrible job!
Peeta loses a leg!
What was so damn hard about that?
Dear Catching Fire Casting Directors,
This is not Finnick Odair.
This is.
What was so hard about this situation?
Dear Self,
Never, for one moment think that you are one
of those bloggers.
You know the ones, with the awesome self portraits on Instagram.
Showing off their new hair cuts, or sunglasses, or WIWs.
Don't think you are that cool,
because you are not.
You really look like this...
Dear Caitlin,
Yeah, I was trying to take a serious pic of my new hair cut.
Then I saw you photo bombing me,
and I realized.
Mommy just ain't that serious.
PS: you are rocking Kindergarten.
An entire post will be devoted to you.
Promise.
Dear Readers,
If you can find me this shirt,
The Last Hurrah {Good bye Summer}
Sadly, summer is over. Obviously Fresno didn't receive the memo as it's still in the 100s here. But Summer has officially ended, as Caitlin started Kindergarten on Monday. That post will be written over the weekend, as it's emotional with a side of sarcasm. I wasn't ready for summer to end. We had been spending endless days at my mom's pool. Late nights in our front yard with the neighbors, and of course sleeping away early mornings. It's over friends. My phone has been set to have an alarm go off on "weekdays". Things just got real around here.
Here is a re-cap of last weekend. A weekend I tried to let loose and forget that Monday, everything would change.

Dear Summer,
You didn't give us enough time.
You forgot that I still have things on our bucket list.
Didn't you see me calling for a time out?
Fine.
Whatever.
See you next year.
Where you can redeem yourself.
Love,
AbsoluteMommy
Movie night in the driveway.
Thanks to Daddy's laptop.
Mac and her BF.
Popcorn and capri suns.
Megamind as the sun disappeared.
It was awesome!!
How fast time flies.
With style obviously.
This is Caitlin on the day before Kindergarten.
Such a big girl.
Our last lazy day by the pool.
Such an event has to be reserved for weekends now.
One last day to enjoy the cool water on an extra hot day.
How I'm going to miss lounging lazily by the pool.
Saturdays and Sundays just won't cut it.

Arm party + Man Candy {A Delicious Combo}
This is the bracelet that I gave.
Yeah that's a hose clamp.
I'm super crafty right?
I had so much fun making this.
It doesn't look like the one I pinned exactly,
but I can't wait to make one for me!
