Let the Season Begin!
Boo's Varsity football team had their first game this past Thursday, which was also Mr. B's birthday, so I'll pick up where I left off from the Mr. B's birthday post.Originally Mr. B was going to go to the game and I was going to stay home with Bub & Bea since it was a school night and we knew it would be late since it was an 'away' game. While it was away it was here locally so I decided that we should all go and support the team and hang out with Mr. B on this birthday.
It was a 'white' out and all our fans were supposed to wear white shirts, it was amazing to see all the white shirts out there! It looked much more impressive than the other sides 'boring' hodge podge of assorted colors :)

Kick off was at 7 pm, but the first quarter lasted for almost 45 minutes! Needless to say the game was loooooong! Our team lost 21-14, but they gave it their heart and hopefully this was a good learning experience for the first game of the season. The game finished after 10 pm and then we still had to wait for Boo to ride the bus back to his school & get his stuff before we could drive home.
As we're waiting on the bus to pull out so we can follow it back to the school we notice that we have 1/4 tank of gas. Mr. B decides that he'll fill up the car for me at the gas station by the school so I don't have to worry about it before Boo's Dr. appt. in the morning. So at 11:00 pm we're at the gas station, filled up the car, and are ready to drive to the school to get Boo. Mr. B attempts to start the car and.....NOTHING! We try again, still a no go. I get out the manual and find the 'emergancy start up method' and we give it a try, it yields no result.
We call our friend (and Pastor) Mr. M and ask if he's still at the school waiting on his son. Thankfully he is so we ask him to grab Boo and come give us a jump at the gas station because at this point we're praying it's the battery. Mr. M arrives around 11:15 pm goes to get out his jumper cables which he then realizes are in his son's car. So Mr. B runs in to the gas station and buys a new pair. We jump the car and it starts right away. Praise God that it was just the battery!
We make it home finally right around midnight, Bub & Bea feel asleep on the drive from the gas station. We get them in bed, get the house settled and Boo set up doing his homework. YES, he had Honors Chemistry homework to do! He finally gets done and the rest of us get to bed around 12:30 am, way to late for this lady!
Friday morning everyone was dragging after 5 hours of sleep. Boo & I went to his Dr. appt for his arm check up and all is well, looks like he avoided surgery! He got a new (purple) cast (school colors are purple & black) and will be in it for 3 weeks then he's out of the cast! Dr. said he can't play football until he has full range of motion back which may take 1-2 weeks so we'll see what he says in 3 weeks.
