Pickle Finds Homeschool Football

We are so excited to have been introduced to this Homeschool Football team.  Pickle loves football and has asked to join a team for years.  We finally found one.  There were several boys from our Bread of Life Catholic Homeschool group that were going to join the team. We were not sure if it would work but decided to give it a try.  I keep saying that we can't do it because we are going to move north.  I committed to stay at least though November so that Pickle could have this chance.  

I am new to the football mom world.  I have so much to learn.  This is crazy.  We also needed equipment.  A friend game him some stuff for the first practice.  He would eventually learn what he needed and buy the right sizes but this was very exciting.

Some of the mom friends are super worried about injuries.  I am concerned but not that much.  J has a bad back because of football.  Maybe I should worry more.  I figure if he gets hurt we will deal with it.  He wants to play. 

I love that this kid comes with his own cheering section.

Sitting and waiting while he practices is killer.  It is so hot in Houston in August.  We are making an effort to keep him hydrated and prepared for practice.  WE can't wait to see an actual game.  I need to learn about the game.  GO LIONS!
