It's Over!!!!

Today was the last football game of the season - can I shout HURRAY!!! Not that I didn't enjoy going -it was fun - but getting everyone up and dressed(warmly) and out the door by 7:30 on a Saturday was getting a bit much. That being said - Thomas was awesome! He was the only one who scored on his team and he was thrilled!! His coach came up after and said that kid belongs in sports because he is so fast (I know I am bragging just a little - but I am just being a proud parent for one second!). He is fast - I think because he is so thin but muscular - he can just whip right past everyone. Anyway, the season is done and we have a new favorite sport in our family. Andrew did get to help coach the team this last game because the coach was out of town. He had so much fun out their running with the kids - I think we may have found a new prospect for a coach next season - I guess we'll see! That being said - to everyone who kept asking to know when his games are - SORRY! I didn't mean to not tell you - I just forgot. This season was so fast - that I blinked and it was over. Next year - I will be sure to post the schedule!!!

Thomas has our quote for today...

Preface: We are driving home from the game and Thomas is watching the streets go by and says: "Streets go in every direction don't they mom?"
Mom: "Yes, honey - there are streets that lead everywhere"
Thomas: "Mom, the world is like a giant Maze!"

I have decided that kids can be very profound and not even realize it. How true is that statement. The world is like a maze. We are put here to find our way. We have been given resources (the Gospel, prayer, parents, friends, others, etc.) to help us through this maze. Some people choose to use it and find the finish quickly and successfully - others choose to ignore their resources, and take so much longer to reach the finish (and sometimes don't even reach that finish point). The finish can be whatever you need it to be: happiness, contentment, spirituality, etc. Hmm - maybe that is a stretch and maybe I am not saying it right. But for some reason - his statement really meant something to me today. Kids are awesome!
