~Friday Night Lights

It's high school football time, time to break out the jean jacket and pin on my 'mom button'. Can you smell the popcorn and crisp air? We lost last nights varsity game by a few points, but it was still fun to be there since I haven't been to a HS game in at least 5 years. The kiddos found their friends and were hanging with them, they checked in every now and then--to get money for snacks. The stadium was packed last night. We stood in line for 20 mins just to pay to get in! Good thing we got there 15 mins early sheesh. There was no room in the stands either, but we had a good view from the fence (and cody and his friends had a nice view of the cheerleaders LOL) Thursday night was the pep rally and "meet the teams" at which they introduce every single athlete at the school. We have a small school but I think every kid there must be playing a sport cuz it took quite a while!

It is so hard to believe that you already have an 8th grader! We are heading to a football game tonight-hopefully we don't get rained on the entire time!
