It's Starting

Well, I have to give a HUGE shout out to my dad for letting me borrow a table saw for the next 1-3 months while I work on Christmas gifts.  Today when I had a "free", and when I say free I just mean "kid free" hour, I pulled the saw out and started cutting some scrap wood I had at the house.  Unfortunately, by the time I got the saw dragged out, found an extension cord and all the measuring tools, I was only able to cut 4 boards before time to hit the school pick up line.  I'm happy to report I have all my fingers intact....that was a joke by the way.  I'm so excite to start on tons of projects!!!!

Storm Update

I just realized that I have not posted about Maddie and Zack's football team, Storm.  2 Saturdays they played the best team from Troutman and won 33-7.  Zack played mostly offense at tight end.  Maddie, did great at cheering.

This Saturday, Storm played the other team in the Mooresville league, Lightning.  It was a TOUGH game and VERY evenly matched.  Storm squeaked by 12-6.  Again Zack played Tight End and Maddie did great in cheer!  They are officially 4-0.

Happy birthday

We want to wish Daddy/Hubby a VERY Happy Birthday!  We love you!!!!

Death Warmed Over

Well the Nowell household has not been a fun location this week.  Sunday morning, Zack woke up with the stomach bug.  Mike was out of town and I was VERY grateful that my mom was at my house, because I had to sing a solo at church.  There was no way I could have brought Zack with me.  So she graciously offered to stay at home with him.  Then Monday night around 9pm, poor Maddie came down with the nasty mess.  Then around 11pm, it hit me.  Then around 1am it hit Mike.  We were all so pitiful!!  Since I am the mom, I still had to somehow roll out of bed and change sheets, get Zack to school and try and get better so I could sing at a banquet last night.  Today's tasks are to Clorox and Lysol EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Winner, Winner

On Monday night at practice, Maddie received the spirit stick for Saturday's game.  We are so proud!!  Way to go Maddie!!!

Sneak Peak

Here is Zack trying on his "hair" this weekend.  If you know what Zack is into right now, you can probably guess what he is going to be for Halloween.  The actual clothing I think will give it away.  It will take me a while though to make that!  Can you guess what/who he is going to be?

Game Day Number 2

Yesterday was Storm's 2nd game.  They played the Wildcats from BAYA league.  Zack ended up playing a lot yesterday.  He was played tight end on offense and he played mostly middle linebacker on D.  Storm won 13-0, making us 2-0.  Way to go Storm!!
