Football

I know it's only June, but football sign-ups were today. Jeff took Ryan over to sign up. They weighed his skinny butt and said he should have played down a team last year b/c of his low weight! He SHOULD have been on the younger team where we begged them to put him since he only missed the cut-off by two days. They didn't weigh him at all last year. It just makes me grumble and growl to think about it. He could have had a great season but for their mistake. Or, he very possibly could have had an equally bad season... but it definitely could not have been worse. I guess it wasn't too horribly awful, in his opinion, b/c he wants to do it again.

Practices start July 28! Jeff is mad at me for scheduling a vacation in August. He doesn't want Ryan to miss a week of practices. With pre-season, regular season, and play-offs, we'll have three months of football. I doubt one missed week will hurt him.

Middle school soccer starts sometime in August for Adam. Evan will be playing rec league soccer starting in September. Jeff even asked me if we should let Matthew play this year. They do have teams for his age. Right now, it's just calm enough for me to think that might be a good idea. I know Matthew would love it. Somebody talk me out of it!

We still have a month of doing nothing to get us good and bored before the craziness starts. :D
