Things That Make Him Happy: Ravens Football

Football. He loves football and the Baltimore Ravens in particular. His interest in football has been something wonderful for him and for our family. Football an "acceptable obsession" he can go to restaurants with the game on the big screen and can cheer along with a crowd, he gets high fives from strangers and he can cheer his favorite team to victory with everyone else. It can be magical.

Over the last 5 years there have been many many teachable moments about yelling at home and in public, keeping calm during tough wins and far more conversations about certain commercials played during breaks than I would like (beer and boner pills are fun to explain). We look forward to the season and proudly wear our purple and black and every year I put together Cameron's NFL game book.

In the game book, every match up is listed and we spend a good amount of time during the week making our "picks". If you visit us during the season you better be prepared to make yours as well and don't worry, Cam will write it all down so your win or loss is forever notated.

Last year we stepped it up and started a small fantasy football league with friends and family. His ability to pick winners is awesome and The Hubs had to work pretty hard to squeak out a win in the league.  This year is my year though, I can just feel it! With a team name like Fighting Fluffypants how could I lose??

All of this is on my mind today because it's the first preseason game for the Ravens, Cameron's binder is ready to go and we are going to the game!!! So short blog today because we've got to get to M&T Bank Stadium to cheer on our team. 

**This is hopefully going to be a re-occuring topic, I would like to share "things that make him happy" and "things that make my life easier" in short but fun blog posts. Who knows, maybe we'll stumble across something that makes your life easier or something that makes you happy as well!!**
