When Connor was three, he tried soccer. However, it became quite apparent that soccer was not for him because all he ever wanted to know was when halftime was so he could have his snack!
Last year, when Connor entered 7th Grade, he decided to give football a try (much to my dismay!). Playing for his Junior High was lots of fun. I even learned to understand football a little better. At the end of the season, I breathed a huge sigh of relief that he made it through without one injury!
Yesterday the true "end of an era" came with the last football game of 8th grade. I say this because Connor has said that he will not try out for the high school football team. ("Yipee," said mom!) Once again, I breathed a huge sigh of relief that there was not one injury on the football field this year! (Although, in the following pictures, you will notice Connor has his finger wrapped up. He broke it - not on the football field; but, by tossing the football around with his buddies on our street!)
By the way, he is #5.
He is fixing to get tackled!
And...they get him!
Their season ended 5-0-1. Way to go Highlanders!
Hopefully, I will see my boy on the correct field during high school -- the baseball field!!
Speaking of an Ending of an Era, here is a photo of Connor's Calaca of Michael Jackson. He took it to school today --
And project #2 for Spanish was a paper doll that needed to be clothed as a celebrity. An oral presentation (in Spanish) was given in class about their celebrity today also. Can you guess who this is?
Se llama Big Bird!

You are a much better sport about the at home school projects than I am! I can't stand those kind of things....guess it's because I am not crafty or creative at all.
Nathan has one more football game and then we will be at the end of an era also. Not because Nathan chose that, but because they don't play football in Singapore. Guess he'll have to try something else!
