Football, friends, fires and fun

Colin had a game at Bishop Ward last night.  SFT won.   Since Colin was only released to play after his injuries on Thursday, we didn't think he would play much. He did play quite a bit, and at one point was even in on offfense.  

It is always nice to win. 

This morning, Preston had a game.  He had quite a fan club there.  Both of his grandmas, as well as Uncle Gary and Aunt Wanda were there to cheer him on. Of course, the little girls were pretty sure everyone came to see them act like goofballs.  

I hate when kids get hurt on the field.  I do think it is a neat tribute when the boys take a knee during a medical issue timeout though.  

Preston played well but they didn't win. 

After lunch, Quincy, Harper and Saige took a road trip with grandma to pick up take 2 of project peacock.  This time, they are used to being handled and we got smart and put a cover on their pen!   Hoping for  much better results this time.  I am also holding out a small hope that they may call Jerry out of the woods!  

This evening, Preston asked if he could have his regular gang over for a little birthday party.  These are 4 really good boys.  They play well together and they are pretty funny.  Preston wanted a bonfire and roasted foods.  

They seem like they are having a great time, and I feel blessed that our kids have nice friends. 

They even did a good job of including the little girls. Preston stopped in the kitchen after we ate to tell me thank you for letting him have a party with friends.  He is the sweetest kid ever.  I truly don't mind the extra kids around and I know he won't always want a roasting party here at home so I am soaking up the memories. 

I love this time of year!  

And yes, blitz is spoiled.   Rotten.
