Hazmat

Snowy Thursday in November with a lone hazmat umbrella. Fun to get a little white stuff this early in the season. Not sure what that means for the rest of the winter. We've had a sorta snow drought the last few years but over 50 inches of rain so far in 2018. If the water keeps coming, it's bound to turn to snow at some point.

Coaching Twins

Proud of these guys.

Champions

Two games and a brilliant game plan brings a championship. The boys were a little slow in the first game against the chiefs but didn't allow any points in a 12-0 win. The championship game was against a Seahawks team that beat them by 6 points two weeks ago. The boys adapted their game by listening to the coach of the Raiders (who lost to the Seahawks in the semifinal), one of their kids parents and a little advice from me.

It was good to see them seek and listen to advice to devise a way to completely destroy a team (36-6) that hadn't lost all year. A key to success is the ability to ask for help and listening to and using outside perspectives. They both did a great job of that and brought home gold after leading these boys to second place finish last year.

The parents were thrilled as well. They all gushed over the job the boys did with their kids.

Coach Dylan

The defense that Dylan coached gave up one touchdown in two games today. Hard to beat a team when you can't score.

Coach Sam

A devious grim while destroying the previously unbeaten Seahawks.

Practice Gear

Sam got his new varsity practice uniform today. He loves new clothing. He can't wait to see the home jersey, away jersey, warm ups and shoes.

Fort Hunt Warriors Rugby Jacket

Dylan's birthday gift from Elaine showed up today. He's happy. He's happy with all his great gifts.

Happy Birthday Boys

Sweet sixteen.

Short days, long shadow

It's been a pretty lazy day around here. The extra sleep was nice. Dylan has rugby practice in a bit and Sam is heading to the movies. They have the next two days off school for teacher work days.

Coach Conference

Dylan and I had a tough game while Sam played basketball. We really didn't need to win this game but it was nice to get the W regardless. Next week the boys take their team into the playoffs as the number 2 seed. It will be a fun day.

Happy Halloween

Only one pumpkin this year. We've been busy. No trick or treaters anyway. Boo.
