This weekend was crazy but great. Saturday morning Grace, Hannah and I went to the local consignment store because they were putting out Halloween costumes for the first time. We ended up with a couple to choose from so I won’t tell you yet what they will be. Rachael already had a costume but I can’t guarantee she won’t change her mind before October 31. After our shopping trip we finished packing for our trip to Cincinnati (Part II will cover this event), got lunch and girls into uniforms.
Hannah had a 1:00 game requiring her presence at 12:30. Craig took her to the game and Rachael, Grace and I arrived at kickoff. Rachael had a 1:30 game. The U-5 teams have the field for two hours with the first 30-60 minutes for practice so Rachael and I stayed until about 1:35 and then went to her game. Grace stayed with Craig. Once Hannah’s game was over they went to Grace’s game. They had to arrive at 2:30 for a 3:00 game. Once Rachael’s game was over we went to Grace’s game to pickup Hannah. We went directly home so I could shower and get ready to leave for Cincinnati. Grace left her game at half-time and took a quick shower. We left our house at 4:38. Grace and I got a quick bite to eat on the road and Craig, Hannah and Rachael dropped us off at 6:30 at the Cincinnati Zoo for an overnight with her Brownie Troop. They went on to get a great dinner and spend the night at my parent’s house. My head spins just writing about our crazy day! I have a lot to tell you about the Zoo so will dedicate another entry to that event. I guess that is a teaser like you see on the television news. I promise to write about that soon.
The big news about Soccer is that Hannah scored a goal!!!!!!!! Her team won 2-1 and yes we would be proud of her for working so hard and yes scoring isn’t everything but how great is that – her second true game and she scores a goal!! It wasn’t a fluke – she was in position and did the right thing. Unfortunately I missed it but Craig got a good picture and Nana, Papa and Grace were there. Nana and Papa really make an effort to be at the games and it is a big help when Craig and I can’t both be there. They even wear the team colors! When I picked Hannah up from Grace’s game I could see her self-confidence had gone up a notch. She doesn’t like to draw attention to herself and she didn’t want to tell anyone unless I encouraged it but you could see that she was proud of herself.
