Yup, we made it to soccer by 8:45ish and the game started at 9am. The youngest played probably the best game of his life. He didn’t score yesterday but his relentless pursuit of the ball and dribbling up and down the length of the field, in and out and around opposing players, was nothing short of stunning. We were so proud of him.
Next we made it home and the boys headed out to play while I ran some errands and Mom took a rest. Soon it was 1pm and we needed to head downtown for the instant challenge portion of the Destination Imagination State Finals. Of course, at the misses urging, we were early. It was at the Auraria Campus of Metro State College downtown. Once they were called in, it was over within 10 minutes. We loaded up and headed home for 2 hours and then would be driving back down for their 8 minute challenge. As soon as we arrived home, I suggested the misses go lay down and she was out like a light within 5 minutes. 90 minutes passed quickly and I woke her to head back down. We, of course, were early again, so we watched a couple other teams. Then our kids were up. The youngest did really really well despite the team leaders daughter bossing everyone around and ultimately violating one of the rules. I’m not sure where they placed as we didn’t stick around but rather chose to head home. We should find out today.
The rest of the evening was made up of us throwing together some leftovers and finally giving in and ordering up some asian food from down the street. We’re all bloated like beached whales this morning from all the salt and msg but it sure was good.
There’s a light coating of snow on the grass this morning but that’s about it. We need the moisture so no one is complaining. I’d like to clean up the basement and/or garage today and we have to get some decon as we have a mouse somewhere in the garage.
The youngest and his friend (who spent the night) just came down and the misses soon followed. Her head is the same but I had to ask anyhow. Hopefully we’ll get the approval from workmans comp in time for her Tuesday appointment.
We might try to get a hike in today or something outside before the boys head off to swim team at 4pm. Then it’ll be time to wind down for the weekend (they go fast!) and get ready for another week.
Take care, have a great day and week and God Bless,
