Both boys had football games this week. Thankfully they weren't on the same day like last week. It was freezing though. Big Son played in the rain. Little Son in the wind. Big Son's team won and he was able to play different positions than what he usually does. Little Son's practice ended early and since it was a "home" game, he was able to watch Big Son and his friends. The next day, Little Son got to play full back, a position he was hoping to play all year. He gained a total of 57 yards in the first half. Then the 2nd string went in and the team lost. Big Son was able to come to his game, along with his whole team. The coach ended practice early and they all came in pads to watch the game. They took a knee on the side lines and cheered the 7th grade on. Of course, when Little Son ran for 15 yards they all stood up and cheered. I could feel Little Sons smile through his helmet when he heard them.

Tomorrow is going to be so busy. Both boys are having their friends over after school (NO PRACTICE!!) to get ready for that night. Thankfully a parent is coming over to help me drive them all into town to "trick or treat". Yes, I know what some of you are thinking. But the town closes the roads and has cops all over for the kids. The houses on the back side of town go all out in decorating and so do the stores. Also, the parents tend to get together and walk around "observing". There will probably be about 100 or more people around. Then all the boys are coming back to my house to sleep over. So I will be having about 13 kids at my house tomorrow night. Wish me luck
