On Friday night, we attended the Cape Sharks Pop Warner Football banquet dinner. It was a really good time. Outback Steakhouse provided all the food, and just like last year, it was excellent. When the server at the buffet asked me "stea
k or chicken?" I said "yes, thank you". It was great! There was Caesar salad, baked potato, rolls, drinks, dessert. Oh, yeah, and there was also awards for football, or something, whatever. But seriously, the Mattia boys were all over it! They both received a trophy for playing. Collin was one of the players called up on stage to be recognized as a candidate for Scholastic All-American. (maintaining a 96 GPA) We go to Philadelphia in May to find out if he was selected to 1st team, 2nd team, or honorable mention. Matthew received the C
arl Walls Award for maintaining a 93 GPA. That is his second year in a row for that one. He was not eligible for the Scholastic All-American because he is only in the fourth grade. You have to be in at least 5th grade to qualify. And to top it all off, they both got their names drawn for door prizes. Collin got a Cape Sharks jersey signed by Raleigh Makenzie a
nd Reggie Branch. For those of you who were not Redskins fans in the eighties, they were both Superbowl winning players. (back when the Redskins didn't suck, but I already discussed that in a previous post) Matthew won the best prize of all, in my estimation. He received 25, count em', 25 Wawa gift certificates goo
d for 16 oz. hot beverages! Matthew has taken a liking to the pumpkin spice cappuccino. He also hasn't slept since Saturday. The only bad side, if there has to be one, is that they expire on December 31st. That's a lot of cappuccino in a short amount of time. My guess is that Santa will not come to our house this year because nobody will be sleeping for a while! In fact, as I'm writing this, the boys are bugging me to make a Wawa run. Well, gotta go! It's going to be a long night.
