Football Guys

Last week I was looking through a catalog and found these "football guys". I ripped out the page to save for a Nolan birthday gift idea. Nolan saw the page sitting on the couch and immediately asked how much it was. He went right upstairs to count his money and wanted to know how he could order them. I found a little better deal for him online and ordered them right then and there. We usually have a rule that they have to wait one week before the spend their $$, just to see if they REALLY want it. But we could tell this was not going to be just another toy on the shelf. You see, anyone who knows Nolan knows that he is an extreme sport fan (not an fan of extreme sports but an extreme fan of sports :-). He uses any thing with pieces to set up football plays.....puzzle pieces, a deck of Uno cards, checker pieces, anything!!! He counted down the days until it came in the mail (I was so happy that it came 2 days earlier than I had been telling him!!). On that first day he ate his supper so fast (he is usually the last one) and the next day he wanted to stay home from school so he could play with it! He is already saving so he can buy the "hockey guys" and the "baseball guys" (which he will probably play football with :-)!!!
