Monday Night Football Birthday Party

Tonight after football practice Nick had some of the guys from his team over for a little 18th birthday party. I forgot how much food football players can eat! We had footlong hot dogs, nachos and cheese, chili and hot fudge brownie sundae's. These young men find there way to each other's houses many times. It is so much fun to sit upstairs with Richard and hear the gut roaring cheers and laughter from the basement. Every one of the guys here tonight thanked us for the food as they went out the door. The last one left at 10:00PM...many of them toting their book bags having worked on homework as they watched the game. I went downstair to start cleaning up and every dirty plate, cup, napkin, etc...had been picked up, carried upstairs and thrown away. I continue to be blessed by these guys and will miss them when Nick graduates and they go their separate ways. Meanwhile, we have a whole school year to enjoy them. So, come back any time men, we love to have you here.
