First Football Game

Tonight I took Hayden and Tucker to the last Augusta home football game of the season. This was Tucker's first football game! (Hayden's first was last year when we took him to the Southwestern College Homecoming game which was also Jason's 10 year college reunion. He was more interested in the purple football he got rather than the actual game but that's a two year old I guess!) Tucker really acted like he was enjoying the game at first. The weather was great - cool but definitely not cold by any means and no wind at all. Tucker just looked around (probably mainly at the lights) and almost smiled even! Hayden really liked the game and even clapped when everyone around us cheered! But he was still more interested in what cousin Delaney was up to.

At half time the score was tied at 14 all (Augusta was playing the El Dorado Wildcats) and Tucker was starting to get a little fussy. But half time was the real reason we were there! Bri plays flute in the band and Alli is on the dance team. The band played a couple songs from the movie "The Incredibles" (and performed a routine that was way better than anything we could have produced when I was in band back at good old Council Grove) and the dance team performed to a song by the Ting Tings. Both girls did very very well - still seems crazy to me that they're in high school! Shortly after the start of the third quarter, we left to go get Tucker some food!

On the way home Hayden want me to see the silly faces he was making. Of course, it was too dark to see what he was doing and besides I was driving and needed to watch the road. So I told him that I couldn't turn around so that I could watch out for deer. He immediately got excited and wanted to see the birds for himself! Wanted the deer to wake up so he could see them! I tried to explain how it was dangerous if a deer popped out of the trees but I don't think it quite sank in. He still was asking to see the deer when we pulled into the Arby's parking lot. Oh well, at least he didn't get his wish to see the deer or else this momma woulda had to change her pants like we did Tucker's!
