03.09.2013: Saturday is Football Day

Saturday we woke up and it was once again sprinkly and cold.  It had been raining ALL week and I swore there was no way that Andrew would have a football game because for the past 2 days the fields they play in had been completely flooded.  The coach kept saying that they were playing though....so we showed up!  And, the field was fine...just a little muddy...but definitely playable.  So this was their "playoff weekend".  So basically they could have had 4 games if they kept winning.  Unfortunately (kinda) they lost the first game.  Even though Piggy was kinda bummed, he played the ENTIRE game....like literally the entire game...and got a trophy at the end.  "Everyone wins".  So he was pretty excited.  Annnnnnd it started raining...a lot.  So, I was NOT terribly disappointed that we had to leave.  Drake and Nana were REALLY not bummed we had to leave! 
 
Although I have to say that Piggy had a great game.  AND he almost had a breakout run that could have won the game for them.  He had a great catch at the end, which led to a touchdown, which brought them within one.  Then they were driving done the field from the other end zone...and he had a great catch down field, but got his flag pulled.  Next play could have won it, but the kid they threw it to dropped it.  So, although they didn't win, Andrew did everything he could to put them in the position to.  So proud of him....he had a rough season with playing time....so it was a great ending for him!!!
 

 



 This is how Drake & Nana spent most of the game....they were cold.  Even though they didn't believe me when I told them to bundle up...they semi-did...and still suffered.  Everyone came out in shorts and t-shirts after getting ready in the morning...fools!!!  :)   Then they were mad when I made them all go change.  Even Andrew came down in a tank top under his jersey & shorts.  Silly kiddos...it was raining!!! And crazy cold!!!   BUT good thing they came to cheer on Andrew!!!  ;)
