Slade and Brant started flag football this past week. Brant was so excited because he finally got to play. He woke up on Saturday and told Billy that it was the best day of his life. He would not fall asleep that Friday night, he was asking me all types of questions about what he would do during halftime and if he was going to get to run through a run-through sign. He has never been so excited.
Slade was super pumped too. He is on a different team this year with his friend Sam. Billy is helping with the defense and Slade loves it. Slade wanted to play the whole game, but he had to switch out and he got mad. It was so cute. The other day Slade had a game at 5, and the weather was horrible. I just knew it was going to be cancelled, but the second he got off the bus the first thing he asked me was if his game was cancelled. I think he secretly wanted to play in the mud. It was a fast game. The wind was blowing so hard, the rain was coming down and then the lighting started. They ended up calling the game after 40 min., but we won!!! 6-0. It was great! Brant has a little buddy that is always there. His name is Gavin. Brant was so upset the other day that he did not see him, but then he showed up and he got instantly excited.
We also started this thing with them that if they pulled a flag they got $1, scored a touchdown $5, interception $3, and then a pick 6 was $8. Slade got very competitive and pulled 4 flags in one game! He even ran the ball a few times and scored a touch down!!!
