This weekend was the last weekend for the winter break for the girls. Lara was slated to go back to school on Monday, while Emma got one more day of reprieve as was set to start back at The M-O on Tuesday. But, because winter sports never sleep, this was yet another busy sports weekend for all involved!
Emma and the Lady Panthers hosted and played in the annual Mulhall-Orlando Basketball tournament, so that kept her pretty busy Thursday through Saturday. After her last game on Saturday, she came to Stillwater to spend part of the weekend with us.
Lara and the Pioneer Wrestling team had a regularly scheduled match in Blackwell on Thursday night, then a 2-day tournament in Jenks on Friday and Saturday. Those 2 days were very VERY long!
And with all of this going on, Jake still had basketball games on Saturday as well, so it was a team effort for the Weavers as well! We always call day/weekends like that "Divide and Conquer" because between Mom, Dad, the Ricker grandparents, and the Horinek crew, we have to divide our efforts to conquer the raking to, watching, and bringing home from duties! Thankful for a big family who all live close that are able to make this happen.
Saturday night, Emma stayed in Stillwater while the 4 Weavers went to Edmond for Jake's games. She had plans with her friend Brock, and that also left them on Lara duty in case her bus got back to Stillwater before her parents did! (I will be so glad when they can drive and have reliable vehicles to do so in!) Then, all my chicks were back in the nest that night and it was glorious!
Sunday was Mom and Dad's 12th wedding anniversary, and there were lots of plans for the day, so we earned or Perfect Attendance for 2018 badge at church early. We all piled in Rip (our 1997 blue Ford Explorer) and made the trek across town for Life.Church.
The rest of the day was spent in various ways. (Mom and Dad went to see The Greatest Showman at the movies.) Lara had a fun afternoon planned with her BFF Molly, and a few other kids to go to the OSU Women's Basketball Bedlam game. The group was Lara and Molly, Molly's sister Macy and her friend, then the BOYS - Jake and Colby. They also went out to dinner together after the game - Raisin' Canes.
Emma went home to Orlando late in the afternoon, only to make plans with her friend Rhett to come back to Stillwater later in the evening for a bite of dinner and a movie - Jumanji. There were reports that they almost ran in to each other at Cane's, but it was busy with a bus load of kids, so Emma and Rhett opted for Taco Bell.
I will admit I have spent too much time thinking about when they are out on their own I will only have my boys. Stinky, loud, LOVABLE boys! And I will miss my girls. However, this new age of dating that we have entered has met me with even more BOYS! They both have chosen wisely, but, BOYS! LOL! I guess I will get over it. Boys are pretty cool. And I love meeting new people. So, I'll take it!
Here's to second semester of sophomore year, girls! Go get 'em!
