The pictures are of our football games this weekend. Unfortunately I didn't really get any of the good stuff since I was busy chasing Caden, but I was able to get a little. The first picture is of Russell (#56) running the ball, and the second picture is of Zeke (#41) on the ground being tackled.
So after a long week we anxiously looked forward to football games Saturday night. I was a little worried about how late the late games start since Russell would be finishing his game about a half an hour after his normal bedtime. This of course being worse for Caden and my ability to entertain him at the ball park. When we arrived to find out they were an hour and a half behind schedule I about lost it. No way was I going to be able to entertain Caden until 1030 at night. To make matters worse, it was already a chilly day and getting colder the closer we got to sunset. I left to get Caden, Russell, and me some dinner while Zeke warmed up with his team. After we ate we went to the field and watched the unfortunate demise of Zeke's team. They lost 33 to nothing to last years championship team. After the game Russell's team was already warming up so Zeke got stuck eating from the concession stand -- I don't think he minded. While we waited for Russell's game to start it really started getting cold. Caden was begging to go to the car because he was ready to go to bed before Russell's game even started. It was really turning out to not be very much fun. It was after 9pm when they broke for half time and the score was 30 something to nothing. Oh yeah, did I mention we were playing last years 2nd place team? Russell played one of the best games I have ever seen him play. It was exciting to watch. Unfortunately the inexperience of his team really showed. There were only about 4 players on the entire team who were effective in any way and they played their hearts out, but you can't win a football game with 4 players. It was obvious that we were playing against a group of boys who had been together for 6 years, and just as obvious that most of our team has only been playing football for 2 months. We ended up loosing 57 to nothing.
Sunday morning we all woke up in different levels of BLAH. I think Zeke and I got the worst of it but everyone now has head colds. We went to church but, although Caden went into the daycare willingly it only lasted about 15 minutes. He ended up spending most of the service out on the playground with Russell so that I could stay and listen. We had a great lunch at Applebees -- even if the service was awful, and then we all went home for Caden to nap. Caden took a three hour nap, and somewhere in there Zeke slept for a couple hours. I got to lay around in almost complete silence listening to the Bears win their game -- I had to listen to the radio station through the computer. I also got to watch Jeff Gordon finish second in the NASCAR race. We managed to get all the grocery shopping done, and most of the laundry ( I finished the laundry today ). So, the weekend didn't turn out too bad even if Saturday was a bust, and we all ended up sick LOL.
