Weekend wrap-up

This has been a nice quiet weekend. Friday all of us, yes I said all of us, went to the football game. Savie missed a good game because she fell asleep on daddy. I knew that would happen since he kept tying to make her sit down during the game, I don't make her do that because I know that when she stops playing she's going to crash on me. But that's ok, she got a good nights sleep in. I stayed and watch the Puma's pull the game out and come back to win.
It was a rough game and one player on the other team got thrown out of the game because of a flagrant foul, a face mask, he nearly pulled it off the poor kids head. After that it was ok, even though it looked like the couch came out to defend the kid.
Saturday was the Farmer's Market. It was a little slow that day and I had to hurry since we were planning on going out to Gleeson later in the day. Got a few things at the market then walked over to the football game for the little ones. I was going to watch a little bit of one game but ten we saw P so we stayed to watch him cheer. He's so cute, he's the only boy on the cheerleader team. I wish I could remember how old he is, I think he's 7 or 8 yr old. After watching the first half of the game Savie and I headed home so we could head out with hubby. It was a family trip, even Halley got to go, even if she did have to stay in the car the whole time. The place we went to had a couple of horses and burro's running loose (fun).

So that's my weekend, what did you do?

Friday night football

I'm half tempted to call this "Friday night lights" but I've never seen the show so I don't really want to go that route. So lets get tot he game

This week's game was a a good one but I was not happy. it started out good but went downhill fast. At halftime it was 28-6 the other team. There were a lot of kids jut running around since the game was just bad. I noticed this girl at the last 3 games i went to, at the first game she had bought a whole box of sugar cubes from the gas station (concession stand wasn't open for this game). Am I the only one that finds that weird? Before that game was over she had eaten at a quarter of it and shared the rest of it with her friends.

But back to the game.

There's not much to tell other then we lost (of course) by a big margin. I think someone told me that it was 49-20, that's just a spanking. There were little blocks, no hits, and the team just looked sad. I'm hoping that next weeks game, an away game, is better then this weeks.

Football Friday

I'm hoping this will become a regular thing for me. Since I am having problems with my computer and can't upload pictures for Sky Watch Friday I am going to post about the local high school football game.

Tonight's game was a good one. I was hoping that Savie would go with me but she fell asleep not long after we got home. Oh well I was just going to have to get over the whole thing and walk down there by myself. (The field is only 6 blocks down the street from my house). I changed my pants and got ready to go. Had to make sure that i had a flashlight because there are javelina's and stuff out there. Plus a couple of the street lights are out on some of these streets so who knows what's out there after dark. It was a nice walk down there. As usual I missed the first quarter, I did the same thing last year. When I arrived at the field it was 18-7 Bisbee. Great start, much better than last weeks game against our rivals, Doulgas, where we lost 35-0. After trying very hard to keep the academy out of the endzone we went into the half 24-14 Bisbee. At the start of the 3rd quarter we where down by 3 pts. There were a couple of turnovers that were just badly handled on our part. They used the same play like 5 times in a row, a miss direct with the same players. I hope they work on that next week at practice.
We were looking a little sloppy during the 4th quarter but pulled it out to win 48-28. Like I said, a much better game then last week.

One of the things I love about this town is that so many people know other people and not just enough to say hi but really know them. I don't have any kids in school yet I go to the football games and some of the other fundraising stuff they may have. My thinking is this, if I want the school to be better then it is now when my child goes I need to start helping make it that way now, not when she's in school. Start early and maybe all the problems yo hear about the school will be taken care of by the time your child gets to that age/point.

So what did you do on your Friday? (there might also be Football Monday and Football Sunday, just be warned)

The Start of school means.......

It's the start of school and that means the start of football season. Tonight we, Savie and I, went to a soap fundraiser scrimmage for the football team. Savie was so excieted about the game, she has aske me several times today if "we go to football game, now?" It was just to cute. We went, a little late as usual, but we made it none the less. Next week is "The Pick" a long standing game between us and Douglas. This year it is in Douglas so I will be taking a trip to DOuglas for the game. I missed it last year because I was working but that is not the case this year. So be prepared for some football talk this year. I hope that i don't bore anyone wiht it but it's fun for me.
