The end of the season

Connors' last football game of the season was tonight in Weleetka. We drove the 45minutes to watch him play. I had only made 2 other games due to my health and the flu epidemic we have had.

It was a beautiful night, Christian and I kept watching the sky for dark. The sky went from shades of turquoise to blue then finally black. Christian said look Mama you can finally see the dark. I asked how could he see the dark? and he answered because of the moon.

The boys made some good plays, but were just out-played and lost their final game.

I will not be sorry to see football end this year, as basketball season is right around the corner and Jonathan played his first game on Monday. It will be interesting with Dylan playing for the High School, Nicole and Connor playing for Jr. High 2 different teams of course, and then Jonathan playing. Sean Patrick will even have a couple of games this year, because Oklahoma is a crazy sport state and they take them very seriously...

This is red ribbon week at school. They dress up in some crazy theme each day, and then wear red drug free ribbons...even the druggies, i find that odd...

Nicole and I had a conversation about pajama day, she asked if i would wear my pajamas to school if i was her, and i said no, i think that wearing pajamas to school would be immodest. She said she thought so too, and just wore her jeans. The boys who don't technically wear pajamas wore their t-shirts and long shorts they sleep in...I am glad Nicole chose not to wear her pajamas to school, I am glad she has a sense of modesty, and at almost 14 asks me is this shirt too low, do i need a shirt under it, she is very aware of how the boys in her class spend their free time trying to look down the low slung shirts of her classmates...

So are we just the weird ones, or is this whole idea of wearing your pajamas to school immodest and down-right strange?

Nope - not strange (well maybe a little - but not about PJ Day
:0)!!) We are a modest gang here too! Modesty is very rare anymore and I am so happy to hear that other families are also teaching it!! I also feel sorry for our boys that are trying to be Godly men and having to try so hard to keep their eyes away from what is practically shoved in their faces everyday by immodest girls and even grown women!! It's a hard world for our young people to remain pure!!!
