Armchair quarterback

Sam loves football. He loves running with the ball, setting up plays and tackling. Lately he's decided that it's fun to do after supper as a way to "wind down" the evening.

Tonight was no different.

After dinner he helped clear the table and took off to find his pigskin. He immediately begged Runner Boy to play.

"Play wit me Daddy! Play! I whan to go over da rules with you... You go dere and I'll stand here and run. 'Den you tackle me. I'm da Green Bay Packer man!!"

Runner Boy got down into his 3 point stance and proceeded to play.

Then Kate got involved and our plays got more elaborate. ...and more dangerous.

I was the center and hiked the ball to Kate...she took off running toward the kitchen like lightening.

Runner Boy and Sam were the defense and looked solid.

...until....

Kate ran head on into the Sam as he was tackling her.

There was an explosion of tears as the 2 players met on the turf.

The athletic trainers from both teams wiped up the tears and kissed the bruises.

The result:

Kate fumbled...

Sam wanted to return to play...

we'll put helmets on next time...

however, the weather is not scheduled to cooperate.

DIY crew...

dear *HGTV* network,

we are the offering to become the stars of your next home improvement show. our company is called "the wildcat design group". we like to paint. and climb ladders, too.

we are very creative.

if you hire us, you can make lots of money. you can run lots of ads during our show. that's because our attention span is short and we need lots of snacks, so we need several breaks.


we work hard. and we whistle while we work. well, actually we hum, because we can't whistle yet. we sing, too.

we hope you will consider us. our parents hope so, too. then our dad's dream of us going to kansas state will be realized.

please direct all of you correspondence to me, kate. i am the president because i am the oldest. sam is the vice president because he can't run as fast as i can.


we look forward to working with you and producing our show. we are just finishing painting our parents house and are looking for a new gig.


sincerely,

k & s of wildcat design group
