Oh the smell

STENCH!

This is a word that I remember my dad using when something smelled. It is such a great word. You can say "what is that smell" and it could be a good smell or a bad smell. Now if you say "what is that stench", you know it is not good.

Well today I had a stench in the house and could not figure out where it was coming from. Not only was it a stench, but it was a stench that is the worse kind of stench to me. It is the one I hate the most and can smell it a mile away and know exactly what it is.

Rotten old chocolate!

Really can you think of anything that makes your stomach curdle more than that?

Ok I can, it was our rotten egg incident which I really should blog about!

Anyways, I found it......

under the tv stand in Thayne's office covered up with a towel which of course was used to hide the spill but never really cleaned up.

Towel went straight to the trash with the mug that was so nicely laying next to it on the floor.

Resolve = check

carpet cleaner = check

holding breath a long time = check

I am pleased to announce the STENCH is gone and my house smells fresh and clean!

Against the odds!

Well Saturdays game was not looking to be very good for our team. We started the day knowing we would be missing 6 players do to fall break and illness. Then when we got to the game one of our best players did not make weight and could not play. Our quarterback was just getting over a fever but played the whole game. Right before the game Wyatt cracked his helmet and couldn't wear it, but since we still had his from last year he squeezed that big head of his into it. Now I am not sure if it was the good luck helmet he wore from last year or if it was just more playing time but Wyatt had a much better game yesterday and in the end we won 6-0. Not bad for only having 16 players. This is my favorite shot of Wyatt running the ball from yesterdays game.

we got spirit

We did it again this year, we bought the parent team t-shirts for Wyatt's football team. We even buy all of our kids the shirts. This year we even went all out and bought Dennis and Dianne shirts since they come to Wyatt's games. There is just something great about showing up for your kids football game and seeing all the parents on the sidelines with the team logo on their shirt and cheering. It kinda just brings everyone together. I think it is a great thing to do. I love showing team spirit. I even sang the Eagles fight song (yes I do know it) to Wyatt all day long in the car.

Now as much of a football mom that I am, I know that there are just some moms I will never be able to keep up with.

Yes my friends, that is a megaphone!!!!!!!!!

When I saw her walking over to our opposing teams side of the field I was...

1. so glad she wasn't on our team

2. thinking I so have to get a picture of her before the game is over.

There is just something to be said about cheerleaders in their 40's, I just think it would be better if I just didn't say it!

teenagers

The last words out of TJ's mouth when he walked out the door for school today was...

"I promise you will not get a call from the school about my shirt".

Why do I not believe him?
