P365 - 2017 - Day 59 - Tuesday night view

This was my Tuesday night view.  The Bear had a training session in Wall, which meant an hour's drive and no where for me to go once I got there.  Then the rain started.... and I had a front row seat.

P365 - 2017 - Day 58 - Mission accomplished

The Princess has been in need of running shoes for awhile now, unfortunately it was one of those things we kept saying we needed to do but never did.  Last week, with My Wonderful Husband away and the crazy schedule with work and sports, we never got out to try them on.  The days were dwindling until the start of track season and this week wasn't shaping up any better time wise, so it was time to get creative and use our minutes wisely to get this done.  When the text came in that she needed to bring running shoes to soccer practice tonight, we knew we had to hustle.  Thankfully, The Boy had an early dismissal, I didn't have to sub, and I was able to get dinner started early and head out ahead of schedule with The Princess to look for shoes before meeting her carpool team mate.  We had basically an extra 20 minutes and I am here to tell you that we did our fastest shopping ever!  But she found the exact pair she was looking for - black and white Nikes.  Mission accomplished. pfwew.

When I got home from my 20 mile training run, I changed into some comfy and warm clothes, grabbed some coffee, and headed for the sofa.  The Pooch followed me looking like he was the one who just ran 20 miles and needed a cup of coffee.

P365 - 2017 - Day 56 - Second place....First place...

P365 - 2017 - Day 56 -

It was Championship Saturday at St. Francis today.  The Boy and his team played a great game and fought hard but unfortunately lost.  It was a great season though and they earned a second place team trophy for the 5th and 6th grade division.  The Bear and his team also played a great game and pulled out a win in the end earning first place in the 7th and 8th grade division.  It was a fun season - I can't believe that it was our fourth one here and a final one for The Bear.  I really love our St. Francis Saturdays (and Fridays).

P365 - 2017 - Day 55 - pretty much a perfect Friday night

On tonight's agenda, two basketball practices and then two soccer practices, a few times back and forth on the island, and a couple of trips over the bridge.  Add to that one heart to heart with my oldest son, an interesting conversation about space on the way home with both sons, several laughs, a discussion on quotes, some political observations  (out of the mouths of babes, as they say), and a late night "snack" of eggs and toast when they got home and some more chatting and laughs with their sister ... pretty much a perfect Friday night.

The Bear and his team won their playoff game tonight and they are headed to the championship game on Saturday!  Looks like it going to be an eventful Saturday for the Leonard boys.  Just like The Boy, this kid is hoping for a win too.

Tonight was the St. Francis playoff games.  The Boy and his team won in a very close, nail biting game... they are headed to the championship game on Saturday!  Fingers crossed....this kid really wants to bring home a first place trophy.
