Silly Bolt Fan

Our local high school football team had their first home game of the season last night. It was a beautiful night for a game so our whole family decided we would go and support our team. When you live in a small town like ours, the place to be seen on friday nights is the football field. I love living in a small town. Marley and Ella have terrific school spirit and got all dressed up for the occasion. This included using our favorite body crayons. Marley is a pro at using the crayons and making the school emblem. She offered to do Ella's face. What a great job! Ella was busting to show it off to us. We all waited patiently as Marley finished her face in the bathroom.

Marley was so proud to show us this!

Of course, she did the entire work of art while looking at herself in the mirror! Everything is backwards. The funny thing is we had a little trouble convincing her it was backwards because everytime she looked at it (in the mirror) it was right to her. I thought for a minute that it would be fun to let her go to the game like this. I was wondering how many people would even notice that it was wrong. But decided it would be better to wash it off and start over. Didn't want people staring at her trying to figure it out.

Here is my artwork on her face. Now convinced that her letters were indeed backwards, she agreed that this was better.

And we were ready to go. We walked to the field and arrived half way threw the first quarter. The Bolts were kicking some major butt. They had already scored two touchdowns. Found my Dad, nephew and brother-in-law sitting in the stands right next to my gal pal, Lori. Ella got a free fan football that was thrown out after another of many more touchdowns. Thanks to Uncle Mark for catching it. The girls sat in front of the cheerleaders and cheered along. Lori and I chatted while watching her son on the field. The Bolts won the game! How could we loose with fans like this?
