Fall Happenings

Here it is the end of October and boy have we been busy. I don't know what I would do with myself if we didn't have two teens in the house. To start with Thomas in his senior year has kept us busy with football. His team Franklin Classical Knights are the Tennessee Conference champions and ended their regular season last night with another win 56 - 20. They are the only team in the history of Franklin Classical School to be undefeated. It was a hard game the field was wet, it rained just minutes before kick off time, it was muddy and the winds turned out of the north to give it a little chill. The first touch down the other team got Thomas was too far to keep him from catching it. After that you just couldn't keep him stopped, he sacked the quarterback, tackled another guy who was trying to carry the ball and just was going strong when he came off the field after a hard tackle and sat out a play, he returned to the game and only to return to the sidelines complaining of his knee. He said his knee cap popped out of socket and popped back in on that play and he was sidelined with an ice pack to reduce the swelling that was beginning. He is on his way to get it checked out this morning, hopefully he will be fully recovered by this coming Saturday when they face the Alabama champions for the national title of 8 man football.
Meanwhile I should be in Chattanougha today but I am fighting a sore throat. Abigail and her dad are traveling there for a Black belt tournament. Hopefully our little ninja will return with some medals. This is her first one being a black belt.
We finished our week at the preschools with Harvest parties yesterday and they were so much fun. The children spent the morning decorating their treat bags, doing art projects, and filling their bags with treats after saying their letters, numbers, colors & shapes, Bible verses and blends. Everyone had a blast.
