Flag Football 08

Jordan plays for the San Diego Chargers. She had wanted to play football for the past 2 years but did not want to be on a boys team. We finally got a girls league in Steiner so we signed her up. After about 3 weeks with practice and one game she has come to the decision that it is really not for her. She is just laughing because she thinks that she is not that good and some of the girls on the team are so much smaller than she even is so that equates to playing with "babies" and we all know how grownup Jordan is so she does not like it that much. Her first game was at 8:00am so she did not get to sleep in and then there was not a snack afterwards so that really tipped the scale for her. We have been able to laugh about it talking in bed at night and she will finish the season out with a smile.

Tom has had to step in as coach for some games because the girls coach can not make it to the games??? Don't ask me- he is the commissioner for the league so I guess he is tied up on Saturdays with all the games.

Jackson and Tom are together again for a 4th year but they arent the Texans for the first time. They are the Carolina Panthers. Jackson hasn't found his football feet yet this season and I hope that he finds them this week so that the games will go better. After losing our first game, we hope to be the most improved team!



Logan is in the football spirit (well, actually he has no idea what it is and his Mom just dressed him in this shirt) The funny thing is that Tom was always #3 growing up and so was I. Jordan has been #3 by choice just because of us and Logans shirt just happened to be #3.

Larson was old enough to play this fall and wanted to but we thought it would be best to hold off since he is only 4. We just wanted a little more time to get use to the schedules with 4. He has gone to practices and games and been happy and has not mentioned the big "WAM"word that we use for him:

"What About Me"?

I think that he is totally content with Montessori and his play group.
