How 'bout those Bulldogs!! We are 6-0, what an unbelievable season, loving it!! I must confess though that I am not a fan of the 8:00pm kickoff. At around 6:00pm when Chad announced that we were still 2 hours away from kickoff, I knew I was in trouble.
OK, let me back up a bit, you see on Friday night we served as a host home to 7 sixth grade boys and 2 interns for our church's preteen weekend. Sixth grade boys don't need to go to bed early because they can still function the next day on only a little sleep...parents can't. I was comatose for most of my game, waking for only brief periods of time to check the score. I was trying to will my eyes to stay open, but I was powerless to the exhaustion that overtook me. Even Sunday afternoon/evening, Chad and I were still commenting on how tired we were. Am I that old? It now takes me 2 days to recover from one night of staying up until 1:00am...sadly I'm afraid it's true.
Our 5th and 6th graders were mentored by high school and college age guys and girls. I think it's wonderful for our kids to spend time with these interns, sometimes they will listen up more when it's not coming from their parents, you know? I love that they have these godly role models in their lives.
Once again, our weekend was full and fun. We had beautiful weather for our boy's flag football games and it looks like this week will just keep getting better and better. The outside Halloween decorations are out and gone are my cute smiling ghosts and pumpkins and in are the skeletons, phantoms and graveyards. The boys wanted our house to go scary this year...all I asked them to remember was that Cinderella still lives here. I am so enjoying fall, football and family. Thanks for checking in on us.
