Friday Night means FOOTBALL in the Fall, and this weekend was no different. The only thing different was a trip down the road to Deer Creek instead of playing in our beloved Pioneer Stadium The kids like to call it "going hunting" Since the Deer Creek "mascot" is the Antlers. It was a GORGEOUS night for some football. Perfect temperature, no wind, beautiful Oklahoma sunset! And, even after some pretty bad and overly home-cooked officiating, we left 4-0! Way to go, Pioneers! Lara and her student trainer crew worked tirelessly - even when the players, cheerleaders, and band were celebrating the win. They were already cleaning, loading, and making sure everything was ready to head back to Stillwater! The buses finally rolled in to the high school a few minutes past midnight.
Saturday morning, Lara and her hard working friends were back at the high school by 8:00am to clean and get ready for the week! No rest for the weary!
We didn't see Emma this weekend, so it's all about Lara this time...
Saturday, she went with us to Edmond to watch Little Brother (who is still measuring everyday to see if he is taller than her - he's not) squeak out a win from a terribly obnoxious team. And again - terrible officiating. They even switched out the refs at half time! Lunch at PDQ, then to Nana and Grandpa's new house in Perkins to watch OSU football. MORE bad officiating, and a LOSS, and that put a cap on our Saturday.
Sunday morning was spent doing chores and laundry until it was time for Jake to go to baseball practice. While he was in Coyle for that, Lara and I went BACK to Nana and Grandpa's new house in Perkins to spend a few minutes with my Aunt Brona as she was shuttling her grand kids from Kansas to Oklahoma to see their dad. After that practice and visit, we all went to church, After church - a fun sports baseball party for Jake's friend. Lara and I had fun wrangling Finn and his little buddies, and we played a long game of catch. We watched the bigger boys play flag football, wiffle ball, and dodge ball - as well as eat more snacks that I ever thought possible! In the middle of the party, Lara was called for a babysitting gig. Cha-ching! What a crazy evening.
So after a late-ish night on Sunday, it was a good thing there was no school on Monday! Teacher professional day. Lara stayed home with her dad and brothers and enjoyed a nice day off. Laying on the couch, watching, Netflix - and being lucky enough that since Deer Creek JV forfeited the JV game (the JV crew is now 5-0!), there was no football practice! Easy day!
Back to the grind - and it is HOMECOMING week! Good Times!
