we have started having a "boys to men" night every week this fall. we aren't doing extra curricular activities because we wanted to spend that time investing in them at these ages. so we took from them things they've been asking about and also some things they need to learn (survival skills etc.) and came up with an assortment of evenings spent together learning new things.
this week in particular matthew taught them the ins and outs of football. then we played together.
honestly, it was so much fun. and it just so happened that Clemson played that evening so after we played quite a few games in the backyard, they got to come in and watch a game knowing all of the positions and trying to figure out plays. their little faces lit up when recognized something they had just learned.
i sure do love boys.
