Friday Night Football

Matt has wanted to take the kids to a High School football game for the last two years, but we just never "got around to it". He, as well as both of his sisters, graduated from LD Bell in Hurst, TX (right next to where we currently live in North Richland Hills), so we looked into going this year. It happened that last Friday was going to be our best night and it was Homecoming! After looking into the price of horse pins...oh excuse me, what Texans consider appropriate mums....we decided to simply go wearing the school colors as best we could. We did buy two large blue bells at Michael's, pom poms for Grace and blow-up "banger things" for William, so that we were sure to have school spirit and the right cheering equipment.


We initially thought that we would leave the game after the half time show, but we were all having so much fun we stayed to the very end. In true form to their personalities: William constantly asked QUESTIONS. He soaked up the rules for football; was fascinated by the precision of the marching band; and loved the running commentary of the announcer. Grace was a blast of ENTHUSIASM. She hit everyone around us at least once with the pom poms; danced around kicking like the "glittery girls"; and in general was quite an entertaining show herself.
