Pisgah vs. Tuscola

We took the boys to their first-ever Pisgah / Tuscola game. I'm kinda surprised by how much they loved it, but they LO-OOOOOO-VED it - like, as we walked back to the car, both begged to go to another game soon. This bodes very well for their parents, who are both rather fanatical about sports in general and football in particular.

Jones said he loved to stand up and clap, but even more, both boys were BLOWN AWAY by the skydivers who flew in both the game ball and an American flag. When he saw them jump out of the plane, Jones turned to me and said, "When I grow up, I am NOT gonna do that." True to form, Freddie's reaction was a little less reserved. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "That's amazing!"

"Amazing" pretty perfectly sums our our wonderful evening under those Friday nite lights.

In this picture and the next one, Jones is flexing. He does that
often now to show off all the success he's having
with those Flintstones Vitamins. No. I'm not kidding.
He will, without hesitation, tell you that's why he's getting so strong.

I was trying to snap a selfie when I looked between us
and saw one of our favorite photo bombers.

Photobombed again.

Back to School Block Party

A couple of community churches came together tonite for a "Block Party." The event doubled as an  pportunity for the world to feast on the deliciousness that is Holy Smoke BBQ as well as an outreach for those in need of school supplies. 

The boys and I dropped by - not for the BBQ (sadly) or the school supplies (see my post from earlier today) - but rather for the fellowship, or, in the boys' cases, the Snow Cones. 

Freddie and his pal Gideon also found a ton of fun in the inflatable waterslide that was parked in the Canton First Baptist lot. Jones sure did enjoy watching them slide, and at one point, he said to me, "I wish I could go down it," but when I said, "You CAN!" Jones didn't take the bait. 

It was a beautiful nite out in the town of Canton, another one that made me grateful to be raising my babies in this kind of place.
