Busy Day Takes on New Meaning

Yesterday was a marathon day to say the least. We started off sending Tim off to KC with James to pick up a wrecked car and truck that we bought....a whole other story but the plan is to have our car and truck (the ones not wreck) up and running again  by Nov.

We went and picked up Emily's friend Breanna at 9:30 so that they could watch a movie before the birthday party....we put the movie in but I'm not sure how much was watched. We then had a quick lunch and headed out for the day. We started by picking up Kennedy and Chezney, went to Blue Ribobn bakery to pick-up the cake (cupcakes shaped like a crown) and then headed to the bowling alley.

We had five little ones for Emily's party and eleven big ones for Taylor's party. We bowled one game then went to the party room to open presents and have cake and ice cream. Then went back for another round on the lanes. The little ones lasted about half way through the second game and then they were done. We ended up leaving the bowling alley at 4:00.

The race was now on! Take all the girl's home, stop by the house to get basketball clothes, went to piano practice, headed to the school or a game...turned out to be two games. Home at 8:30 which is bedtime and we hadn't had supper! Quickly, ate and went to bed. Tim thought I was nuts for going to bed at 9:30 but I was completely exhausted....turned out he was too, and was in bed before 10 himself.

The ballgames were so much better than expected. We were playing Crest Ridge and was expecting to get slaughtered. We first played their 3/4 grade team. We only had 5 players show up but they sucked it up and played the entire game and won! The score was like 20-8 it was amazing. We then played their 5 grade team. So it was our 3, 5th grade girls and our 3 4th grade girl's....that had just played an entire 40 minutes without subs. Well, when Crest Ridge 5th graders stepped on the court it was like looking at Golly Green Giants. I mean I am sure that at least one was implanted with Ralgrow. Our girl's did remarkable given the situation. We didn't win (24-12) but the fact that we were in the game was huge. I just wish we could play those six girl's all the time against some of our other teams...I think we would have a different season.
