Somehow in the midst of life, the PCP’s first flag football season came and went with nary a mention of it on the little blog that is supposed to serve as a our “virtual memory book”. So here goes…
After much begging and pleading to play tackle football, we ended up compromising with flag football. I asked around about the two sports and different programs for months prior to signing up, and was pleased when most descriptions I got of the league we chose was “soft.” Some parents said this derisively, but to me it sounded perfect for a seven year old :-) When we found out that one of Honey’s high school friends was coaching the team, we knew it was meant to be. And John loved it!
His sweet friend and baseball pal played on the same team. I love these boys! And sitting on the sidelines is always more fun with bestie M and Coach S.
All of our fall sports wrapped up last week so we’re down to tennis once a week. Feels like vacation… almost!

Glad his first season went well… we haven't done football yet, and probably won't. Baseball takes up too much time (but we love every minute of it)! Have a great weekend! xo
Yes, flag is definitely the way to go at this age and much more important for them to just learn how to play the game. We are waiting as long as possible to start tackle with our kids. Both still play flag. In fact, I spent this morning freezing on the field! I am ready for this season to end! Enjoy your weekend!

So you had two sons on different baseball teams plus one on a flag football team too!?! Honestly…how do you do it all???
I pretended like I was the mom of 3. You do it beautifully every day :-). This was the first and last time we'll do 2 sports – let's call it a miscommunication btwn Honey and me that it happened this time.
