I know I should be mourning, shedding a few tears, wallowing in pity... but I'm NOT! Both of our boys lost their semi-final football games this weekend. FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER for the Hyde boys- and what a season it was! Both of the boys teams were small (in stature). We had ONE big guy on each team, which left the teams to rely on their speed and skills. Both teams ended the season with a 7-2 record. Not too shabby! My boys are SAD! Both of my boys improved so much this season. They both were able to get a ton of playing time and grew more confident on the field. They loved their coaches and their teammates. They will miss being with them four to five times each week.
I still need to add Garrett's pictures! I haven't found the disc yet.
I am CELEBRATING. I am celebrating because I get to see all of my boys (including Russ) three to four extra nights each week. I no longer have to search for pads, helmets, jerseys, cleats, mouthguards, water bottles, etc. three to four nights each week. We can eat before 8:00 pm three to four more nights each week. I no longer have to drive across town 6 to 8 times each week dropping off and picking up stinky, sweaty boys. I no longer have to wash WHITE football pants and practice jerseys three to four nights each week (Who's idea was it to make WHITE pants for sporting events?!!!! I deal with this same thing during baseball season. Let's dress in white pants and then play a sport that requires us to slide in RED dirt or tackle on muddy grass! For heaven's sake- this must have been a male's idea!) I no longer have to juggle my Saturday work schedule around football games. I no longer have to worry four to five days each week for my boys safety. They are both little and play against some really BIG kids (We had a close call today as a cleat went under Garrett's face-mask and ripped open his lip- he is fine). And finally, I no longer have to deal with tired, cranky, starving boys four to five days each week. Yes, I am THRILLED... for a couple of weeks anyway. Basketball season is beginning!

Such great boys! I love them so much I could POP! We're so happy they had such a successful football season and we're excited about basketball, somehow it seems safer!
Oh man... I am sooooo happy for you. I could cry over how busy you are and all that you do to perfection. I do a lot, but 9 out of 10 of my things are disastrous. I want to be as poised as you some day. But, dang them boys are cute in their uniforms. I just love them.
