Red Raiders and Toilet seats

Well we all (well almost all) went to the Texas Tech game against Texas State.  The spread on the game was 39 points so I figured it would be fun watching Tech score a ton of points.  Well the game didn't go like it was planned for a while.  Tech was losing at half time to lowly Texas State.  In a way this game was an example of how our day went. 

Tech has a tradition called Raider walk where the players walk down the street before the game slap hands with the fans.  I figured it would be fun to take the boys out there so they could see the players up close and personal.  The problem with Raider walk is it starts 2:30 hours before the game.  It was a warm day and being out there that early was tough on the boys.  Even before the game started, they were ready to go home.  At kick off it was pretty warm inside the Jones AT&T stadium.  The sun had been beating down on us for a while and it was not letting up.

It must have bothered the players as well because TSU put it on our Raiders during the first half.  You could tell the boys were having a tough time dealing with the heat and started getting restless.  THEN BOOM a West Texas dust storm came a long and cooled down the stadium...Just like that they boys started acting like we expected them to and Tech started playing like we expected!

The boys really enjoyed the game after it cooled down and Tech walked away winning by 40 points.  Overall it was a great game.

The boys fell asleep on the way home but they really needed a shower.  So I woke them up and they headed into the bathroom. 

We have been working with the boys about putting the toilet seat up when they pee and down after they are done.  Well tonight since we were in a hurry I decided to lift the seat for them.  BAM!  Toilet seat to the nose of one Camyrn....Like an upper cut from a boxer the toilet seat caught him right on the button and the tears started to flow...He ended up ok..

Tomorrow is church and hanging out with family...





To be continued....
