More Monday Night Football

We were excited to have another football game last week.  I didn't record any of Reed's defensive plays, but he did an amazing job as safety.

Here he is playing running back and on the last play wide reciever...so enjoy this montage of me screaming like a crazy person. 

And some more amazing pictures that I didn't take (obviously).  

And some pictures of his defensive moves

Still Wranglin'

With the high school theatre department cancelling the fall musical, I've been so happy that JR has had the football games.  

I get lots of texts from cheer and football moms referring to JR as their "favorite wrangler".  And with pictures like this, it's easy to see why.  (I think you'll be able to find him.)

Kyle, Reed, and Granny Sherry went to see him "wrangle" at the game this weekend and when I asked Reed if JR was the best one he said, "Obviously." 

He's definitely his mother's child.  He's easy to find in this picture too, pretty sure he thinks the crowd is cheering for him (I would.)

Back in Business

As of yesterday, Kyle has all his dives back from having to be out for so long for Covid shutdowns. 

I just love this picture of him.

Parents still aren't allowed at the pool, so I haven't been able to watch him, but he's been able to get some of the other kids to video him.

Monday Night Lights

 Reed's middle school football team still hasn't won a game, but they got pretty close this week.  And a friend took this great picture of him, so I'll call that a win.

This game he was able to gain some yards as running back, so that was fun to watch!  He's the one running with the ball in this video. 

Halloween 2020

 Halloween 2020 wasn't nearly as scary as the rest of the year has been.

 Kyle wore Reed's cactus costume from last year, he said most people thought he was Covid, so he said he just went with it.  Reed wore a hazmat suit I found cleaning out the high school theatre storage locker.

Speaking of costumes I found in the theatre storage locker, I also found this robe to which another mom and I screamed "Cobra Kai!" as soon as we saw it.  I brought it home to Jason so I'd have my very own Johnny Laurence.

JR decided to be Burt Reynolds.  He said that nobody knew he was, but that he looked good, so that was all the mattered. 

 Our neighborhood probably had about half the trick-or-treaters we normally do.  Jason, Chloe, and I sat in the driveway and passed out candy.  I wore cat ears, so I guess I was a cat.

 Chloe guarded the trick or treat table and barked at dogs wearing costumes.

Which really wore her out!

Double Winner

 Reed and his doubles partner played in the Texas Cup this past weekend.  They won all their matches and played great together.  

Plus they're both really cute.

The other kids on his team won all their matches too, so they walked away with new tennis racquets and the Texas Cup.

Eggsited to Cook

 Since we are still suffering the lockdown of almost everything fun.  Kyle's cooking class at school remains one of the most exciting things around. 

They have advanced past washing dishes, and last week was the first time they were able to cook.

Apparently Kyle is the best dicer in his group.

And though we don't have any documentation of his knife skills, here's Kyle's egg muffin documentation.
