Campout

November 18, 2022

Spencer and Robert almost earned another polar bear badge on their cub scout campout at Oak Mountain last weekend! It was cooooold but they made it!

Well, Spencer barely made it. He had started coughing pretty bad on Friday night and just didn’t seem like himself when they left Saturday. By the time they got back Sunday, he really wasn’t feeling himself. He spiked a fever of 103 and I was pretty sure he had the flu. I took him to urgent care because I wanted him to get Tamiflu within the first 48 hours of being sick. Well, urgent care did a flu test and it was negative! Even the doctor was shocked and said he looked “flu-y” but she wouldn’t give me Tamiflu. Boo.

I took him to the pediatrician first thing Monday and, yep! Positive flu test. Got Tamiflu a day later than I would have liked. He was pretty miserable Monday and Tuesday but really turned the corner on Wednesday and went back to school Thursday.

Fingers crossed no one else gets the flu! We have big Thanksgiving plans!

Geaux Saints

November 14, 2022

Spencer had another fantastic season of tackle football on the Saints! He had his same coaches as last year – which I think is a huge compliment because that means they picked him in the draft again! He played QB all season and had good opportunities to hand off the ball, make some passes, and also run the ball! He had several TDs and lots and lots of great plays. He really honed his leadership skills on this team and I could not be more proud of him.

With Coach T!

The team ended the season tied for second place with 5 wins and 2 losses. They made it to the second round of playoffs but lost to the Vikings. Our big center got hurt the first play of the game and the Saints just couldn’t overcome it. No Super Bowl appearance this year but still a fantastic season for an awesome team!

I sure do love to watch #7 play!

At the team party, Spencer got the Bobby Hebert Mr. Quarterback Award. Well deserved!

A fantastic season with a great group of kids. I’m so proud of how Spencer played and how he handled himself all season. I see more football in his future!!

Geaux Saints! Who Dat?!

Halloween night

We gathered with our neighbors on the corner and were so happy to be with good friends!

Maxwell and his buddies then headed over to Colonial Hills to meet up with their crew…

Spencer and John headed off to meet up with Penton and others. Unfortunately, as soon as Spencer took off to trick-or-treat, the fan on his costume went kaput!! Boo! He took it all in stride and trick-or-treated as a 4th grader! John’s blow up costume came off too so they were quite the candy hunting pair, ha!

We made it to the bigger neighborhood party and they even had a roaming photo booth! I do love a photo booth…

and I love it even more when Spence gets in the photo booth and types in my number to send the picture to me!

We finally found Frances so our Movie Star was a happy camper once again. These two did the whole Surrey loop together and got more candy that you can imagine!

We all (except Maxwell) ended back up at the party by dark and hung around for a bit…
