Football and cheerleading season have finally begun! This is my son’s 3rd year, 2nd playing for the “B” league Oarsmen. It is my daughter’s 3rd year cheering for the “C” league Huskies. (Pictures are from 2006 season.)
Today we had our first team meeting for my son’s football team. Go Oarsmen! There we were, all 21 boys, their siblings and parents, in one very brave Mom’s kitchen for the “get to know everyone” meeting. Mrs. “S” was very kind to open her house, swimming pool, and serve wonderful refreshments to all of those very active 10-12 year old boys and their little brothers and sisters. It turned out to be a great get together. All the details that we had so far were shared and I was introduced as the team Mom. Mrs. “S” was team mom last year, so I immediately enlisted her help. She and I worked well together before, so this year with some experience under our belts, it should be no problem. (more…)
Football season is almost here and I for one am extremely excited. All of my kids are involved in one way or another. My oldest daughter will be in the high school marching band this year and will be playing at the school games. My son is playing football with the local youth league and my youngest daughter is cheering for the same league. This year, I am going to officially be an assistant coach for my daughter’s cheer squad. Over the past couple of years I have assisted as a parent to each team as much as I could. This year, I volunteered to co-coach my daughter’s team and be team Mom for my son’s team. Since we all love football, we are all there together anyway, may as well help as much as possible. After all, it’s tons of fun and it’s for the kids. I think a lot of us parents, particularly me, love it too. Practices start Monday night and we are all ready for it.
Anyway, this post was supposed to be about a trick football play that was posted on aol today at: http://www.aolvideoblog.com/2007/07/30/trick-football-play/
You may think that this play is illegal, but looking it up, I found this at You Tube:

So we decided that we needed to run off to the beach real quick this weekend. And we are, right after some errands in the morning including football weigh-ins! We are heading to Chincoteague and Assateague Island in Virginia. We are taking the pop-up camper and making a cheap weekend of it, coming back Monday night. Pony Penning week just ended there and most people will probably be leaving as we are coming in. It should be a nice quiet weekend, even if we get hit with the thunderstorms over the next few days. I know we need the rain. And at the beach, everything is OK! Can you tell that I miss Jamaica already?? (more…)
