Yesterday we got up early to get ready for Brennan's 9 a.m. soccer game, Alyssa's 10 a.m. softball game and McKenna's 12:45 p.m. soccer game...only to find out at 8:35 a.m. that Brennan & Alyssa's games had both been cancelled due to wet fields. So I called our sitter for the afternoon and asked her to come an hour earlier assuming that McKenna's game would be cancelled too. David's mom called at 12:15 to confirm it was cancelled- I quickly replied yes - and we hung up. At that point David realized 'wait a second - her coach never called to say it was cancelled - we better confirm'...and confirm we did....that she DID have a game and we had 25 minutes to get ready and get there....it's a good 15 minutes from our house :-)
So we arrived with 4 minutes to spare shielded by our umbrellas because at this point it's POURING! We slush our way out to the field and about 5 minutes into her game the sky cleared, the rain stopped and the humidity went waaaaay up!!! But let me just say how happy I am that we made the game...McKenna scored her 1st goal of the season AND THEY WON!!!!!! They've played 3 games including yesterday and they are 1-2 so far....it felt so good to see them win. She was ecstatic of course - the coach tends to put her on defense, but I think she proved yesterday that she deserves a chance to play offense too. She may be littler than most, but she's not afraid to go in after the ball! Unfortunately, because it was raining when we got there, I didn't have my camera with me so no pics to share of their victory. Congrats Purple Dragons!
After the game David & I enjoyed a little adult time playing golf (I shot a 107 - very happy about that!) and then dinner. All in all it was a great day...and when we arrived home we found our kids had been replaced with a tiger, a bear and a white tiger...see below :-)
Our babysitter Molly painted their faces and they turned out really good...she's so good with them. They painted pictures, played cards, read books, had popcorn & ice cream...all within a matter of 5 hours. It's nice to know they're in good hands when we're gone!

Way to go McKenna! That is wonderful. I know she was very proud. Maybe she will be playing a little more offense now.
Wow! I want your babysitter. Will she come to Stafford? She's already got it down with a set of twins and one more. :-)
