football

K had his first football practice on Thursday.  I have never seen such excitement.  He was literally shaking from the thrill of getting to be part of a team sport.  At his age, they only learn fundamentals and do not get to play games, but we are trying to arrange at least one scrimmage during the 6 week session.  K made some new friends, got a good workout in and threw the ball really well. H and A ran around during practice, getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes.  Poor little A could not understand why he couldn't play football.  I think I will bring his little nerf football to the next practice and he and H and pass it around.  All in all, it was a really fun time!

Kids are doing well.  H has been home from school, since they close it during the parent teacher conference days.  He had a half day Thursday, off Friday, and is off Monday and Tuesday of this week.  I forgot how hard it is to keep all three of them busy during the day.  

I'm off to do my nightly reading.  It sure is lonely around here without C.  Thank goodness I've got my dear friend MA here to hang out with or I'd be going nuts!  MA, if you're reading this:  love ya and thanks for keeping me sane!!
