So yesterday was one of those days where everyone must have had their scheduling calendar highlighted as "let's plan this for today".
We are in the closing weekend of Annie with Black Box Players. The whole family is involved in this and we are in 3 shows a weekend for 2 weekends. Grandma and Grandpa W came down to visit for a late birthday celebration and to see Annie. Friday night was a wonderful show but a late night. Jeff fell asleep in the car on the ride home, but the excitement of hanging with Grandma and Grandpa was too much for Erin who didn't fall asleep before 11:30.
Saturday morning we awoke to rain and mist. There was a soccer tournament scheduled for the morning and we wondered for a bit if it would be canceled, but the rain never really picked up and by 10:30 we were headed to the soccer fields. In true tournament style our team rallied and played hard, winning our first 2 games! That put us in the final of the tournament, scheduled to begin at 2:20. Stage 2 of the day (piano recital) was slated to start at 3:40 about 50 minutes away. The final began a few minutes early, and unfortunately our Gold Dragons were pretty spent and lost to a rested and well organized Red team. Still, both Wallace Dragons played hard. Jeff's goal saves in the first half were fantastic and Erin stepped into a defensive role (away from her usual wing position) in second half and created some havoc in the backfield. By the end of the game both kids were completely spent and covered in mud from head to toe.

It was a long, crazy and hectic day. But I would trade a second of it for anything else.
