Football Fan

Camden never had a chance to not like football. His daddy loves the sports and is now a coach also. So, Camden has grown up loving it too. Todd has had these miniature helmets of the SCC for a long time. They sat on a shelf in what we call the Tennessee room, our computer room. Camden has always wanted to play with them, but Todd has always said no. One day last fall, Todd took them down and let him play. I did think it was a bit strange until I realized there was an ulterior motive... Mizzou is now in the SCC, so his set was no longer complete. He has since started hunting down the larger size helmets on ebay.
But back to Camden, he loves playing with those little helmets. He calls some of the teams, meanies. We have no idea where he got this, but it is hilarious! He will play for a long time with his helmets and carries them around in a ziploc bag.
His favorite thing to do is play football with his Daddy. He will ask to put on his jersey(a Vols jersery, of course!) and say, Coach, I'm ready. Seriously, he calls his dad coach! I am usually the crowd and have to cheer when he makes a tackle or a touchdown.
So, to make a long story short, Camden and Todd were playing the snow the other day. They come to the door and tell me they have a great idea. They want to put on their Tennessee jerseys and tackle the snowman they just made. Well, who am I to stand in the way of a great idea?
