Football season upon us!

I normally don't care much about football but apparently when Austin is playing it, I get into it! He started practices earlier this week before school even started but it wasn't until today that he got his practice jersey and game jersey. Today is the first time he will practice with just his team and was the first time he needed to be fully dressed. I snapped a quick photo of him in the middle of frustration from trying to get it all put on correctly. He looks so grown up :( My little football player. His team consists of several 6th graders and a few of his really good friends from 5th grade too. Brian is helping coach again with one of the nicest guys I know, Perry Laures. They have coached together before and work really well as a team. It should be a good year as long as the time commitment doesn't interfere with school...we will just have to see. It's going to be hectic around here! Home from school at 3:45-eat snack. Do homework. Eat supper by 5 so he doesn't puke at practice. Leave for practice by 5:45. Home from practice by 8:30. Shower. Bed by 9pm. Do this four days a week and have games every Sunday. WOW! It's fifth grade for crying out loud!
