One Crazy Saturday

Take a breath before you read this post; you're going to need it.


8:00 am: Gabrielle's soccer pictures.  I had to wake kids up on a cold Saturday morning to make it on time.

9:00-10:00: Gabrielle's game.  The previous day's rain, cooled the air to a mere 42 degrees, and left behind a wind that cut through uniforms and caused tears to flow freely from our eyes.  Not to mention the wet grass.

Hardcore fans

10:00:  Rebekah's pictures.  

11:00-12:00:  Rebekah's scheduled game.  Although the sun appeared, its rays no match for the wind's cutting chill.  Of course those playing would have disagreed with those spectating.  I was spectating.  It was cold.

11:30-12:30:  Rebekah's actual game because we waited for refs to finish a different game.  Samuel partakes of yogurt, granola bar, and water for lunch.

11:00:  Samuel's pictures.  There was some overlap in our schedule, but thankfully all morning events occurred at the same park. 

12:00-1:00:  Samuel's scheduled game time.

12:30-1:45:  Samuel's actual game because we waited for the refs from Rebekah's game.  The girls and I ate our lunch:  Peanut Butter graham crackers, cucumbers, Pringles, and granola bar.  I also fed the youth who had kindly given up his Saturday to ref all three of my kids' soccer games.  

1:45-2:00:  We drive with enthusiasm to the birthday party of one of Samuel's friends that started at 2:00.  It's no fun to be late to a party.

2:00-4:30:  The girls and I visit a small, free museum, while Samuel has fun at the party.

4:30-5:30:  We drive home, exhausted, and oddly,  silent.

How the day ended:  Mac and cheese for the hungry, and Vick's vapor rub for those with a dry cough..   You can breathe again.  We made it through our crazy Saturday.
