Football and love

Tough loss for the boys tonight in their final flag football games. Both Max and Graham lost in the semi- finals - Max's Rams to te Seahawks and Graham's Jets to the Steelers. 

Max was very disappointed and still was at bed. Graham moved on slightly faster.

On top of it, a fair amout of sibling fighting, tattling and bossing caused added stress and mom to have to instill consequences. Three unhappy kids and mom. 

At bedtime, Max pulled my heart hard.

Max "I love you." He rarely says it first. 

Me "I love you, too."

Max, "I always do. I always will." And after a pause "Even when I say I don't."
