Well, we made it through the first week of school with minimal damage. Jake seemed to have the best week, although I don't know things sometimes right away with him. Christian and Jamesen were getting warnings and pulling sticks because of their social nature. We reiterated with the two of them that it better not last!!!! Our plate stays full after school with Jake and Christian playing football and Jamesen talking "hamster talk". He has been begging for one since the middle of the summer. I have been just putting him off by making him do research on the little creatures. He loves all types of animals and I guess Obie isn't enough for him. Not sure where this hamster idea came from but I guess we'll have to give in.....for now. Soon we should have another addition to the Rees household.
Friday night we went to the Jamboree at Bearden....Farragut did very well. Jake actually watched the game along with the fights that went on. I guess one has to expect that with 10 different schools in one high school stadium. It is a bit nerve 
racking....thank the Lord for cell phones. Saturday we were able to "farm" all the boys out so Jason and I could attend the Robert F. Thomas Foundation Evening of Elegance Gala up in Gatlinburg. It is a benefit held each year for the Sevier County Hospital and Cancer Center. Tennessee RV donated a travel trailer and we joined a group up there for some fun. It is always nice to have a reason to get dressed up. We had a great time, but 24 hrs. with no children just isn't quite long enough. In no time we were back to baseball, hamster talk, and a trip to the pool before getting organized for another big week ahead! We have football practice 4 nights this week for Jake followed by a game on Saturday. Christian has practice Tuesday and a game Thursday. One of those evenings we have to find time to purchase a Hamster. Oh, and Jamesen has decided he may 
want to try Boy Scouts. Whew!!! Well, many thanks to the Toney, Fain and Ross families for giving us 24 hours of much needed "couple time". Oh and by the way, this past Friday at 10am Jason and I purchased 2 tickets to see Michael Buble on October 5 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Any takers on the kids.......just kidding!
