Flag Football Begins!

It's started!  It's finally here.

It's what Owen and his BFF Marcus have been practicing for every day since the last season ended.

They run drills every day to prepare for the all important football season.



Owen's team had their first flag football game this past Saturday.

He's so ready for it.  As soon as we got there, he started warming up with his teammates.

That's when I looked down and saw the shoes that he choose to wear.

Really?  :-|

Not much you can do at that point other than just shake your head and let it go.

And my friend's mom who witnessed Owen's striptease down to his PJ's at school a few days before (that's not a mistype) was also there to witness Owen's awesome shoe choice.

She was also at the practice last week (different day) when he announced that he didn't have on any underwear.

Really?  :-|

But that's beside the point.

The Little Dolphins had a great first game filled with weird moments. 

First, our blitzer went and took the football from the opposing quarterback and ran it back for a touch down.  Then Owen complained bitterly (complete with his arms flailing and hand motions) to the referee and his coach that the kid who was on him was illegally blocking him.

Which he was.  And he stopped.

Owen caught two flags and the extra point conversion after that weird touchdown.  (Or something like that.  It sounds good, eh?)

Owen had his own cheering section.  Mary Mayken, Sheldon and Annabelle came to watch his game.  They look like a rag-a-muffin bunch of kids, don't they?  ;)

First game down.  First game won.  Woot.  It's gonna be a great season!  :)
