Saturday in Texas

Had an eventful day with the kids. Jessica had swimming practice this morning so James and I watched from the stands. The building is just amazing. Most of the seating is bleachers but there were some that were seats with backs. Since there were only four or five parents watching we chose the seats with backs. After practice we stopped and bought doughnuts and went home to eat them. At 11:20 we left for soccer practice followed by a game at 12. Today's weather changed just a bit from the rest of the week. Try cold and windy like in Kansas. It was bitter cold - absolutely not the type of weather for an outside soccer game. We took blankets and chairs but it still was awful. At 12 when the game was to begin the other team had only 2 players. I had high hopes and went in to my repetitive prayer mode - please let them forfeit. God hears prayers as Jessica was praying the same thing. The refs were too nice in my opinion - they should have cancelled the game at the stroke of 12, but they gave the other team 20 minutes to show up. I say, be on time or you are gone. :) By 12:20 the other team had four players and it was cancelled. The sub coach thought the kids might want to practice more and possibly they did but James didn't and Jessica and I folded our chairs and headed for the car. I had not been that cold in a long time.

After a Sonic lunch, we went to the movie - High School Musical 3. That was a great show. I had not seen one or two so now want to rent them. We saw one as a musical at Music Theater last year. This really was a super feel good fun movie.

Left the movie, stopped at Target and am now at home. I am on my computer, Jessica is on the kids' and James is on his mothers. So we are having family time in the front room on three different laptops.
