Boo

Happy Halloween!!

Well, field hockey is over. Made it to the quarter finals and lost. That's ok. Time for something else. Like drivers ed!!!!! L starts soon. I just can't believe that she's old enough. Geez, where'd the time go.....................
Soccer is over too. M got his new skis on Saturday and now he's just waiting for the snow.
There's no snow in that sky.
We're not quite ready though, this is our wood pile.

field hockey

L's team finished the season exactly tied for 9th place. Same number of wins, ties and losses. AND the same number of goals scored as Cape. So a three way conference call between coaches and a neutral party took place. A coin toss and the prelims got played in Cape on Saturday. Lakers won. Unfortunately the next game, the quarterfinals were to be against #1 Leavitt. Leavitt is always #1. They always win and always eliminate us. The game was last night. I couldn't go, ERRRR. My sister and mother went though. I wasn't thinking much about it while making supper, but then I started getting texts. I don't text. I can't stand to abbreviate and it's just weird. The first text said, 1-0 us. I text(ed?) back Whoa. Then immediately, 2-0 us ( and some minutes left, can't remember). I text, Holy Sh*t. This just doesn't happen against Leavitt. Then, injury waiting for ambulance. I hate injuries especially if an ambulance has to come. I text who. I get a text that says a girl on our team and that this will break our momentum. Yup, we tend to have that problem. The injury was at the end of the first half, two minutes left. Second half, 2-1, they are outplaying us. I text, shoooot. Then I receive several with time left. That was nerve racking!! Then, we're holding our own. Then We did it!!!!. I text, I just can't believe it. And I still (almost) can't. #9 upsets #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Leavitt coach used to be my coach a long time ago. She left as a jv coach to take the varsity coaching position there.
During the regular season L started quite a few games and played almost all of a lot of the games, but the two play-off games she's hardly played at all. We're a little disappointed........... Don't know where or when the next game is but I've decided texting has it's place!!

green

I don't have a garden yet, although I've been told for three summers I'd have one. So I throw pumpkin and gourd seeds in a manure pile and let nature happen. This fall we have a green harvest. Only about three or four pumpkins. And only one of those was really orange, the others were greenish.
E claimed that one. M carved a big gourd and L carved a green pumpkin.

go go go

Well we had another busy weekend. I know, who doesn't. M had a game Thursday, L had a game Saturday, M & E ran a two mile fun run on the x-country trail at the high school on Monday and L had another game on Monday. L's regular season is over. Now it's playoff time. They aren't seeded very high so I don't expect them to go very far, but we'll see. E was very proud of himself for running the race (M had to hold his hand and pull most of the way) and was wondering where his trophy was!!!! Too funny!M is asking if he can GO now, because the end was coming up and we would be able to see E.......
Go, Go, Go
