How white are YOUR whites??

Believe it or not...THANKFULLY it's rained here for the past two days. This area has needed it desperately. Although - rain and sports schedules don't mix too well. Yesterday when I was pulling out Cowboy's practice uniform for tonight, the only one that I had clean was WHITE britches and WHITE shirt. Yeah, I knew this was a disaster waiting to happen too.

So we get the call, as expected, Itchy's soccer practice is cancelled. YAY!! At least he can stay home with Dad and not worry about mud puddles and splashing. However the football freaks of TN feel rain makes for a spiritual experience on the football field so unless there is lightning, there is NO way we are going to cancel practice or a game.

Cowboy jumped out of the truck looking all cute....."oooh watch out for that big puddle behind you - cars are surfing over there"


SO I grabbed my umbrella and my blanket to put on the bleachers - endured the downpour that opened practice up and the CONSTANT drizzle that kept up through most of the practice. We joked that if he came off the field CLEAN and PRESTINE, we knew he didn't work hard. I'd say he worked pretty hard.





Of course, if there was smell-a-vision - you could SMELL the mud and wet grass. When I made him strip on the front porch (oh yes I did! he wasnt' coming into my house!) he had a tan line of mud on his legs. The pictures don't do it justice at all. We were supposed to go out to eat with Friend-girl afterwards but I couldn't possibly take him into a nice restaurant like THAT. I feel like I'm pushing it when I take him in there all sweaty with his football britches on...but coming from Mud-Bowl 2008? Nah.
