Hard to believe another weekend is already in the books! There were a lot of sports contests, and some wins, and some losses. Both girls seemed to have some illnesses along the way this weekend as well. The weather was dreary and dark and a little bit more winter-y than we have had yet this year. The seasons are truly changing - in so many ways!
Friday was a divide and conquer kind of night. Lara and the Stillwater Pioneer football team were headed to Bixby for their first round playoff game. Emma and the Lady Panthers were off to Carney for their first basketball contest of the season. Since Finn has been struggling with his coughing and breathing a bit this week, he was off to Carney with Nana and Grandpa to see Emma and her team; while Jake, Dad and I went to Bixby for the football game.
It was a cool night, and a long drive over to Bixby. The game was very one-sided right from the beginning, and after a lot of hard work, grit, and FIGHT, the Pioneers came up short, and *just like that* the football season was over. So surreal.
Meanwhile, in Carney, the Mulhall-Orlando Lady Panthers were ready to open their season. Although our Emma girl didn't get to see any court time, her team came out victorious after a close and hard fought game. She got to hang out with Finn and and her grandparents and stayed in the gym to watch the M-O boys team play, but they did not come out with the win. A late night for ALL involved!
Saturday, we all divided and conquered some more... Nana had a meeting in Perry; Emma was home resting in Orlando, Lara was home in Stillwater with a friend over to binge watch TV, and we took Jake to basketball in Edmond - Grandpa and Finn met us there. We got home after the OSU Cowboy game was already over (THEY WON!), so we watched the replay of that game and just hung out the rest of the day. Emma was going to come to Stillwater with us for the rest of the weekend, but she had either some food poisoning or a virus, so she stayed home to keep the rest of us "well." Lara's friend Erika was here for the whole day and well in to the evening. She "taught" Lara to play chess, and the two of them had a fun time irritating Finn.
Sunday everyone slept in. Finn had a rough night with his coughing, and Lara was starting the cold the rest of us had already passed around. So Sunday was spent watching TV and resting. We threw it back OLD SCHOOL and watched High School Musical and High School Musical 2 on Netflix. Lara watched Camp Rock, too! Thanks, Disney Movies!
This afternoon it was church, dinner, family meeting, errands, homework, showers, and bed! SO thankful for these restful Sundays! Now, if everyone could just get well around here!
