Oh it is nice to win! It is nice to be in my house when the W is on your side of the field....and for the second week in a row - it was! We beat the Eagles 35-0!!
It was lovely to get back to a game...having taken last week off, I missed the atmosphere and all the hoopla that comes with it. The Babes and I were lucky enough to have someone come with us to the game - a fellow teacher. It's nice to have a co-pilot to drive home with on those late nights. This time was especially nice because it RAINED THE ENTIRE NIGHT! The game was in Ellsworth - which is about an hour and 15 minutes away. It started raining on our way there and never stopped until Monday...beleive it or not!
The game was awesome! We scored on the first kick off and it was all up hill from there. The kids had a blast and it was fun to see Coach and his assistant coaches having fun on the side lines. The down side was the constant rain...I was worried that the Babes would be freezing and get sick. She had a blast. She was well covered by her stroller and an umbrella. She followed that ball up and down the field...she cheers and claps and does the breakdown when the team does it! In the beginning of the game during warm ups she insists on going on the field to give Coach a kiss and hug. She also goes out at half time now to play catch and get some mid game squeezes from Coach. Too cute!
For me, the game was made even better when Coach got home. He told me that a couple of the Eagles had approached him after the game and told him that his players were some of the most respectful players that they had played all season. This may not seem like a big deal...but...the Eagles have been losing to teams by many, many points - as a result other teams get cocky. I think it is a real testament to Coach and his staff that our kids were respectable. Last year we did win the Sportsmanship Banner for our conference...kind of a big deal!
I do have pictures, but I can't upload them right now...I will add them later. These past 2 weeks have been more busy then I thought they would be. I am coordinating the Spirit Week portion of Homecoming for my school and it's been a lot of work and planning....Monday, Spirit Week started and tomorrow marks half the week over!! It's been a lot of fun so far! We have a pep rally, parade, and football game on Friday night. Really looking forward to the game. We are playing the Tigers. They will be a tough opponent...
I am going to try my best tonight to get a post going about my new and improved kitchen! I am in love with it...hopefully I can get to that! Also, cooking up some super easy Chicken Parm that I want to share with you all!
Anyway...thank you for checking in and checking out my blog!!
