Fun Fridays

Most Friday nights, we like to go to Jackson's soccer games. They are in the evening, so the weather is perfect. I like to sit and chat with Paula, and Jer watches Lex while he runs around with a lot of fun kids. There are a few little girls who give Lex so much attention and he just eats it up!

I thought this was a funny story from a few weeks ago. Since Lex is the youngest by a few years, Jer is the only parent with the kids. The other parents are able to watch from a distance. This particular Friday, the little girls (ages range from 5-7) decided they wanted to steal things out of Jer's pockets. Unfortunately, they were going into his front pockets. Poor Jer didn't know what to do since he knew the little girls were just being playful, but any parent looking over and seeing a bunch of little girls reaching into a grown man's front pocket is going to be alarmed!

Jer hurried and emptied his pockets, handing over his cell phone and wallet to the little thieves. He was worried that he would lose some credit cards or something else since the kids were running around with their spoils, but he figured it was worth it to avoid getting banned from the Friday night games! Luckily nothing was lost!

Oh well, it is a small price to pay for all the fun Lex has at those games.
