F-S 17, Russellville 27

We began this morning with Annie and Emma getting ready for the ballgame (and school). They dressed in their new 2007 Wildcat Football t-shirts. I was able to get a picture of Emma before school. Emma was so surprised when she got to school, and she and Mrs. Mann had on the same shirts! Someone called them twinkies.

Tim started our freshmen quarterback this week. Courtney (our regular qb) hurt his shoulder last week, so Tim wanted to keep him out just to be on the safe side. He was afraid that if he got hit again that it would keep him out six weeks. Hayden (the freshmen) did a really great job. He kept going, and no one would have ever thought that he was a freshman or that it was his very first varsity start. Annie and Emma's favorite part is the run-through.

DeeDee came home for the ballgame. Actually I think it was to visit with our cousin Adam, but she was there. Annie and Emma were glad to see her.
When it was all said and done, we had a difficult time stopping them. Plus we had a couple of times that we could have/should have scored and didn't. They played really hard though.

One of Annie and Emma's favorite things to do after a ballgame, is to collect all of the yard markers and place them at the base of the goal post. Then the managers come by in the gator and put them away. They do this after each home ballgame following the team breakdown.

When we got home, Emma wanted hot chocolate. It was very, very warm at the game. The breeze was not blowing, everyone was sweating, and it was at least 90 degrees. But this did not matter to Miss Emma. Having hot chocolate after football games is just what you are supposed to do, so that is what she planned. So we got home, and I turned on the kettle and added the powdered hot chocolate to the mug. While I was waiting on the water to get hot, Emma added water from the sink! I asked her why she did that, and she said that she wanted to be able to drink it now when it wasn't hot. So that is what she did. Silly me, I turned the kettle off.
Now we are all just worn out--especially Tim. I think we will sleep well tonight!
