Saturday Morning Football

It was really hard to get up this morning. I'm drained. I practically had to drag the kids out of bed too. And we got to bed at a normal time! I'm blaming it on a busy week and too much sugar lately. Pumpkin bread might sound healthy but you might as well have a big, frosted cupcake! Good grief...

Anyway, Brandon's team is always first which means we leave here at 8am every Saturday. Ugh.

Brandon's team is really struggling. There are only two teams in his age group and they are supposedly divided according to skill level, but Brandon's team loses every game. And not just lose...they get annihilated. It's so bad that last week the coaches of the teams got together and swapped out two players. The coach on Brandon's team was always playing his own son and quarterback and the boy threw one interception after another. Someone must have said something to him about his nepotism because his son got traded to the other team. I wish it had been Brandon. They lost again this week.

The teams in Nick's age group are more evenly skilled. They win some, they lose some. Today, they won :)

Hiking the ball:

I love Nick's face in this one as he goes for the flag!

 I caught him leaning into the wind more than once...such a funny boy!

And who ordered this wind?!? It was crazy windy out there this morning! This guy is actually holding down the inflatable tunnel the teams run through:

 When he walked away the tunnel lifted right off the ground many times threatening to blow away, then it did this:

 Yep, it just collapsed! And this is poor Megan:

 She was completely covered in that blanket most of the game. We were freezing! We had an hour to wait from the time Brandon's game ended and Nick's began so we warmed up in the car and when Nick's game played out Megan and Brandon watched from the car (we can park nearly on the sidelines) while I stood closer to cheer and snap pics of our little guy :) We're all hoping next week is warmer and NOT WINDY!
