BUSY, BUSY

Last weekend we headed out to Altona for a tournament. Our first overnighter. Kids were excited about the pool, all the other kids and a sleepover. DH and I were excited for some more adult interaction. First game at 10:15 a.m. meant an early start. Both kids slept to Winkler where we fed them and carried on. LM's first game was between the pipes. He played well. After the game I was told that one kid let him know what he thought of us losing the game. Well that set the tone for the weekend for me because I'm at my witts end. We found out later that the team we played was the top team in their league and they hadn't lost a game yet. Coaches said we gave the kids their hardest game yet. Good job Stars.

Second game, Gretna, MB. LM is playing out for these rest of the tournament. He scored 5 goals had a couple assists to go with it.

On the way back to our hotel LM got sick in the truck. He spent Saturday night in the bed or bathroom. Just fucken' lovely! So Sunday morning we packed up and made our way home. No more incidents, thank goodness.

The rest of the week was rough. Monday morning, my turn. OH MY. Worse flu I've had in a long time. LP woke up, got sick a couple times and then she was fine. By Tuesday DH had it. We all needed to get better before Wednesday, our skate with the Wheaties. The team won one of 4 entries for Fan Camp 2012. We made it and what a blast that was. We had Mark Stone in our group. LM was in his glory. He talked to LM about being a goalie and how he tried it and was scared and didn't like it and never tried it again. He told LM he was a brave kid.

This weekend, our final 3 league games. LM in net for the 2 tough ones!! He played out Saturday, 2 goals, 3 assists. You can see it though, he's just not into it when he's skating. Doesn't get out of bed in the morning as quickly and just doesn't have the jump and go like on net days. Oh well, kid knows what he wants.

Sunday - oh my goodness. Nerves. First game was awesome. The passing, the team play. What a great game. The second game is to determine our standing in the league. Whistle blows, LM falls down, other team scores! Oh crap! Anyways, they played awesome. Besides that first bad goal and LM getting scored on by his own team mate, who tells LM, why did you let that go in, in which LM replies, why did you shoot it at me, we're on the same team, we won. Regular season is over. One more tournament at the end of the month in Souris and playoffs.

Later I'll get to other stuff. And I've already emailed the photos I wanted you guys to see so I won't be posting them here.
