The Flames tied their game today against Northwest Indiana, 2-2. They didn't play very well in the first half and went to half-time with a 0-2 score. They played much better the second half and were able to tie. Madison played fairly well for as bad of a week as she had. I wasn't sure she would play at all today. She told me that after the game she told Marcus that she was "sorry I didn't play my best today but I'm dehydrated!" : ) She wasn't as fast as she usually is. She told me she was just "SO TIRED!" ...I wonder why? She is feeling so much better otherwise and her appetite is finally back.
Nathan joined us for the day and is spending the night. His family is going to a wedding in Chicago and they thought he would enjoy playing outside the entire day instead of being cooped up inside in wedding attire. I think they probably made a wise choice. It was so cute, Tony was teasing him at supper tonight and told him, "listen Buddy, I know your tricks!"... and with a sly smile Nathan said, "nuh-uh, you don't know ALL of them!" That's Nathan for ya, and his way of saying that he has more antics up his sleeve. Which he did.
We are dog-sitting for Duchess this weekend too. Beppe & Pakka went to Iowa for a wedding as well. I guess this is getting to be the season for weddings. She is always so well-behaved for us. We like to have her here.
Madison and Quinn had ball practice today and Madison went to Alexa's tonight for a birthday party and slumber party. I sure hope we didn't make a mistake by letting her go... probably won't help the fatigue factor any. But according to Madison, "Tracy throws the BEST birthday parties!" We went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight. The boys brought money to play their 2 video games. Nathan earned "a buck-fifty" from Tony for picking up sticks today and Quinn brought money from his piggy-bank and it was all burning a hole in their pockets. They were disappointed that the games were out of order. Without our suggestion, our gentlemanly son decided to leave his "buck-fifty" on the table for a tip for the waitress. We talked about how hard waitresses have to work for their money and that she probably had a family at home that she didn't get to spend the evening with. I was proud of him.
Well, that's all for tonight. Hope you are having a good weekend.
Love to all, Leah
