Mother/Son DODGEBALL!

Dodge ball, never thought I would be playing that game again... Until I got the note home from Crew's school that there was going to be a mother/son dodge ball night.  How cool is that?!  For the girls they do a father/daughter banquet where they get all dressed up.  This is much more my style, God totally knew what he was doing when he gave me 3 boys! 
It was really cool how they set it up, K/1, 2/3, 4/5 grades went out in sessions, so it was a little nerve wracking in the beginning being a rookie for my first year not knowing what to expect.  Being that Crew was in the little group I felt a little bad pegging some little guys, but I can see in the years to come as he gets older the games get way more intense, some of those older grade mom's were actually sweating.. :)  They started mixing it up at the end so some moms were intermixed with kids, so some of my friends and I had even more fun trying to bomb each other from across the gym.

The best part of the whole thing was seeing how EXCITED Crew was.  #1 for getting to BEAT his mom (so he thinks) #2 to go somewhere with just me and do something special #3 to see all of his school friends and just be a wild and crazy boy.   I love what a little spirit and competition brings out in people, it was a fun night, and very well ran.

I can't wait for next year already, I can basically plan on playing dodge ball at least once a year for the next 9 years, wow! :)  I will have 2 years in a row when all 3 boys will be doing this, so I will have to do all 3 sessions, I am sure I will be a pro by then!
