Jackets win the Superbowl!!!

Saturday was the Jackets Superbowl game vs Mesquite Bulldogs. It was a tight game. The score was 6-0, Jackets. Pretty tense. Tense and FREEZING! Man it was cold, cold, cold....but that makes for good football. The boys all got a medal, a trophy and some bragging rights for having a perfect 14-0 season! We are so proud of the entire team and in our own personal Jacket, Ben. He had a great season and really saw a lot of playing time in the Superbowl. He had a wonderful time, learned a lot about football and teamwork and made some really great friends as well. So now we look forward to next season when we will be a 2 Jacket family. Will is going to play for the flag team, and Ben will move up to 2A. We will be living and breathing football on Saturdays next year. :)

October Wrap-up

I dropped the ball on posting about the end of our October, but that is just because it's one busy time!

Will had his Halloween party on the 30th. They do a little costume parade for the parents and then retreat to their classrooms for class parties. This year I am a helper to the room mother. I was in charge of prizes for games. Of course I had no idea how many games there were, so I over bought. Ah well...I just put the extra prizes in each kids treat bag. :) Worked out well that way. William had a great time and I am so happy that I get the luxury of being a stay at home parent so that I am there at events like these.

Halloween was on a Friday this year, and that may have hurt in the trick or treating department. Our neighborhood was AMAZING last year, not as amazing this year. I think more people were out partying than giving out candy and decorating their own houses. The hayride was still going on though, as was the house we loved so much from last year. These people go all out! Ben and Will still managed to get tons of candy and they had a blast trick or treating. Will was Darth Vader this year and Ben was a ninja
