Admirals Game

 

Last night, Brett, Braden, Emma and I hit the Admirals game.  It was a great time!  I really appreciate Brett coming because it certainly made handling the two kids a little easier!

We got there for warm ups, which was nice.  But within 3 seconds of sitting down, Emma was asking for soda.  I managed to hold her off until Brett showed up so that I could run up and get french fries and soda for the kids.  Emma seems to be a bottomless pit at times… she at most of the fries and drank most of the soda.  She also had most of the nachos I got and some popcorn.

We didn’t get any pucks in warm-ups, but we did get two game pucks.  The first the linesman gave to me for the kids.  The second, the backup goalie gave to Emma.  That elicited a bunch of ‘Awwww’s from behind us.  Emma was very impressed with how cold the puck was.

Both kids did very well, especially considering we didn’t get home until 2 hours after bed time.  The “I love you, Dad!” at the end of the night really capped it all off for me.

Today we head to the Mitchell Park Domes for our annual visit to see the trains there.

Monday update

Exciting title, eh?

So, we got all the mulch in this weekend and we're pretty much done landscaping! Yeah! No, I don't have pictures Sonja.

The Packers and the Admirals really, really, really stink. Admirals lose 7-1 and looked like they thought preseason went on for another month. The Packers should have won but 3 dropped interceptions and a last minute fumble kills them. That game was important as I think it was the difference between a 2-14 season and a 1-15 season.

It was great to see Kay and Stess at the Admirals game Saturday! I don't get to see them nearly enough with as busy as we and they are.

Braden has a cold and is just miserable. Well, miserable for him. He still manages to laugh and play and be generally fun, but he also has times where he just needs to rest and cuddle with his mom. Mom likes that because it's unusual for him to sit still long enough to cuddle.
