Football and piggys

Magnuts had his first game of the season Saturday night. Twice it came to the point that it was only him between a running back and the end zone. Twice he stopped the run. The first time it was a pretty big guy and Magnuts just got in front of him and waited- the coaches-including his Dad said that you could hear the hit from the other side of the field. Magnuts just clamped on to him kinda like this:

and went along for the ride. BTW this is not really the picture I wanted to use to illustrate this point but...google the terms "Monkey Hugger" "Animal Hugger toys" and "Monkey Clamp Toys" at your own risk....

I ended up working concessions from 4ish until 8ish. Then we went back to the field yesterday to help the coach and his wife clean up. PEOPLE ARE PIGS Y'ALL! 2 feet from any one of the 50 huge trash cans people just dropped their garbage. The bathrooms were a disaster and Rob even found a USED diaper under the stands...someone just whipped it off their kid and dropped between the steps. It took 2 hours to get the kitchen and grounds back to some kind of order.

Still Magnuts loves being on the team and it does feel good to "do your part." But....let me see someone dropping their garbage any where but one of the cans.....

People are disgusting. And my kids wonder why I'm Nazi-mom about putting trash in it's place.
