Entry FeedI am sitting at my computer typing while I drink my coffee. Really, I should be baking a few dozen cupcakes...
Yesterday was the last day of hockey house league this season. It was amazing. Both my boys were in the finals of their respective age groups. Yes, Husband is both of their coaches, and while it may be nice to give him some credit, I actually give it all to the kids.
Son Two played first (after lacrosse - where he scored 4 goals - WOW!)
Unfortunately, they lost 4-3. What a game! But the kid cried, and I had to have the disappointment, good loser talk with him. There was a young boy on this team who really wanted to have a chance to play goalie. And Husband, never believing that they would make it to the finals, promised this child a chance.
Look, it is house league. The rules are fun, fun and fun. This boy was so thrilled to have his chance, and he did such a super job! It was upsetting for Son Two to lose. But he is over it. He was actually more disappointed in himself that in anyone else on his team, and he is now claiming that he will never play hockey again. Promises, promises!
Son One's game was great. Son One appointed himself the hero of the game as he scored the first goal, and the winning goal with 1 minute 17 seconds left. Final score, 3-2. Unfortunately, he scored the goal far away from our cheering section, so they were all crediting number 13.
For me, the good news is just that the season is over. YES! It has been a great season, but I am looking forward to the break.
After hockey, we rushed over to MY PLACE, A CANADIAN PUB for our school fundraiser. The theme was "Pints and Picassos" and each class prepared a piece of artwork for silent auction. It seemed to be a success.
What do we have on the agenda for today? Oh - just a birthday party for Son One that is about 7 weeks overdue. The best is that Son Two now wants a birthday party... I think that is 4 months overdue... Can that even be done?
We are taking 15 boys to see, "How to Train Your Dragon." I already have the headache meds in my purse - just in case.
