Frontyard Football

This afternoon Simeon wanted a neighbor friend to come play, but no one was home to play with. He was sitting on the front step holding a football, looking sad. Ammon came and sat by him. Simeon told us how he didn't have any friends to play with. Ammon told him: "I'll be your friend. I'll play with you." So they jumped up to play together.
Their rules for football are made up as the game is played. Ammon tried to tackle-which got him a five step penalty. (Mom only allows touch football.) The end zones are our driveway and our neighbor Sam's driveway.

Ready, set, hike!


The boys wanted to wear their new gloves as "football gloves."


Ammon looks so little compared to the football.


Simeon "Fully Charged" and ready to score another touchdown.


The score wasn't kept, and no injuries were reported-a perfect football game in my eyes!
