Are you ready for some Football?



One of the reasons that Christian wanted to go to school this year was for the Football. Wow, his life has changed so much this year. Last year he did Cyber School which was only two days a week, and they were only half days. The rest of his schooling he did at home. It was good, but it was time for a change, and this year will be a big change. It's his first year of seminary. He wakes up at 5:00 and is to seminary by 6:00, then to school which starts just after 7:00, then to football practice from 3-5:30. By the time he is home it's 6:00 or latter and he eats dinner as fast as he can so that he can have friend time before I make him come in for homework and back to bed. Things get really crazy when he has youth night at church. I wonder how long it will be before he gets burned out. Teenagers think that they are invincible, we will see!

BACK TO SCHOOL

I could hear my mom singing these words in my head all day. "It's the most wonderful time of the year." Can you hear it too? Kayla, Christian, Aaron and Adam have all started school. I was thinking about homeschooling all of them this year, but they voted Public school. Thank goodness!! What was I thinking? I may have been able to do it with the older kids, but Adam and Zach are so demanding! Momma needs some down time!!!!

Chris went out get some school clothes for Adam yesterday. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about handing the job over, but he did a fantastic Job. Two polo shirts, two pants, and an adorable pair of shoes. When I woke up this morning however, I realized that it was to warm for heavy shirts, and long pants. I was hoping that Chris wouldn't be to upset when he saw that I put Adam in Shorts and a T-shit. At least he could where his new shoes. Well, maybe not. When I put the new shoes on, they slipped off every time he took a step. When Chris saw Adam he was sad that he did all of that work for nothing. Then he put the new shoes on Adam, and tied them really tight. Those shoes were going nowhere. Adam is so cute. He was so excited about going to school!
