Sweet , and now also very funny, Will

Yesterday I went shopping alone for about 5 hours and Bobby texted this to me:
Will: when's mom coming home
Bobby: in about an hour and a half. Why? Do you need something?
Will: No. I just miss her.

I LOVE that sweet boy! He has also gotten very funny and changes his voice and body posture when saying something funny. Here he is one morning getting ready for school. The other picture is he and his buddies Sean and George being "nerdy" at the park during Thanksgiving break. They played football like that too! Bobby and I love that he's getting confident and comfortable being silly.

"Conversations"

I had bought this games years ago, when Will & Trey were little.   I found it and put it out.  Our first night with it at dinner, these are some of the cards we drew.  We now pull it out most times we are together eating at the table.  It is usually Trey who pulls it out.

 

 

#1 Katherine answers "to grandma and grandpa's".

#2. Trey says "having a family".

#3. Will says "anything that kids can have."

Bobby says "water".

 

Trey - "Elites (nike socks), flat tops and shoes."
Will - "books"
Katherine ' "desserts"

Happy Thanksgiving!

Making place cards for dinner today.  Trey was in charge of writing our names.  He decided to do  formal names for everyone.  Katherine picked up the acrons yesterday and I glued them on each card.

Her challenge to me and Bobby - what behavior are you accepting or allowing in your home that will not be acceptable behavior when they are out in the world?
WOW!!!

Will's Football Game

Dads text to the family about your game Will.  He is very proud!!!

Will's team gave the Wolverines their first loss today and reclaimed at least a share of first. They are now 5-1. Will played well against a tough offensive line. He only had a couple tackles but held the nose well and blocked well. He had two carries for about 10 yards. Played the whole game except kickoffs. Team showed a lot of character being down 7-6 at half then controlling the ball for at least 15 minutes of the 20 minutes in the second half. Funny how sports go. Last weekend was one of the worst and this one has been the best. Michelle: how's Sam doing. I plan to make his game next week.

Trey Football Game

Here's a text dad sent to the family about your game last night.  He is a very proud dad!!!!

Ok, I haven't bragged on the boys lately but tonight I have to share. Trey's team has had a rough season as you know. He's played well but they were 0-4-1 coming into his 'Friday Night Lights' game tonight against one of the better teams in the league. Well it all came together for the Freshman Ducks as the entire team played great. We won the game 24-7. Oh, and Trey played great defensively containing one of the biggest backs in the league (the kid is Will's size), not letting him get outside of him and making alot of open field tackles. But that's not the highlight. That would be the four touchdowns he scored accounting for all their points. The last was on the final play from scrimmage when he returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown with 3 seconds left to put an exclamation point on the night. As usual Trey took it all in stride but dad is beaming with pride! Tomorrow Will gets to play both ways and he's very excited to be playing defense. They have a tough game against the first place team . He's supposed to get a few carries as well. I'll let you guys know how it goes!
