We are supposed to wear something Christmas-y each day this week.

I wore my Awesome Holiday Sweater.  Anther boy in my class had on the same shirt.  We looked cute.  Mrs. Cat had my Christmas tree gift to her lit.

We are not having any homework this week, because it is the last week before Chritmas break.  I still have to read every day.

 Barbara was trying to take a picture of us playing...

 ...but Cole and I wouldn't hold still....

 .... and finally we fell down.

She did get this picture of us.  We three boys played from 3:40pm to 7pm.  We played football, soccer, rode bikes, went for a walk around the block with Cane.  We took turns on my pogo stick.  I can do it 50 jumps easy.  Cole can do about ten jumps.  Anthony is still learning.  Barbara fixed us Ramen noodles.

Almost every day GGF works in the yard, cleaning up the driveway and street around our house.  He stops to talk to everyone who walks by.  These teenage boys walk by often.  They have talked to GGF before.  Today they stayed for almost 15 minutes talking to GGF about WWII and his life growing up.  The oldest of these boys is 17 and three of them plan on going into the Navy and the Marines.

AT 7pm, Mommy insisted we had to quit playing outside in the dark, so the boys went home and I got into the bath tub.  I was sure dirty.  At 7:30pm I got on Barbara's bed wtih a can of Pringles to watch Monday night football.    We have a tradition of eating Pringles while we watch football.

I was asleep by 8:50pm.

 My football pictures arrived in the mail ....

Nice looking group of seven year old boys and their coaches.

And this award was sent in an email to my mom.  We will print out four of them to put on Papa and Grandma, Mimz, Daddy, and my refrigerators.
