Fall 2003

First Day of School, September

School started on September 2nd. I had such a good summer that I DIDN'T want to go... but Mom and Dad said I had to.

My teacher this year is Mr. Frank. I think he's going to be tough!

I got some cool new school supplies to help me out. My backpack has rollers because last year my books and notebook got so heavy that Mom worried about my back. It is pretty handy. And I also got a new notebook, with lots of dividers to organize my homework and pockets to hold other supplies. I even got a new lunchbox! So I'm set. Just have to bring my brain along, too!

Halloween, October

This year our school was closed (for a "teacher in-service day") on October 31st. So one of my classmates, David, had a sleep-over the night of the 30th. We had a great time playing basketball all night long... but we didn't get any sleep. (Mom was not happy.)

The next day, my friend Robby stayed with me for the day, but we didn't do much except hang out 'cause we were too tired. Then for trick-or-treating I went over to Robby's house. I dressed like a dead park ranger, and he was a dead baseball-head [right]. I think I got more candy last year, when I had more energy to walk!

Kirkland Seahawks, November

Our Boys and Girls Club football team this year was almost exactly the same as last year. Maybe that's why we ended the season undefeated!

My team members were [left to right, standing] Jarell, Robert, Robby, Nate, Kyler, Kurt, [left to right, kneeling] Robert, (me), and Chris. We had the same coaches, too: Robert Blue and Pat Ryan. They really helped us a lot.

I think football is my favorite sport to play. I like being the running back and receiver. I made at least one touchdown every game, and one game I made four!

We had some cool plays, too, like the fake double-reverse. One time we did a quadruple reverse!
