Just a Tuesday night

Tonight was a whirwind!

These two had a date night tonight.
They got to enjoy the UNI vs. ISU volleyball game.
And yes, our allegiance flips and flops between UNI and ISU.
Football - all ISU. Volleyball - we'll go UNI!

Before they could head out we needed to attend Open House night at the school.
We started in Lauren's room where she had fun showing her siblings the class pet, Rocky.

She loves school. Just loves it.
She had fun showing us her research project complete with a powerpoint.
Is she in 9th grade?

Sullivan showed us his room next.
He could not stand still or stop talking while we were there.
He's also borderline in love with his teacher!

Avery got to show Papa around her room.

When Open House was over Lauren and Jordan sprinted out of the school.
And I sprinted in the other direction with the 4 youngest.
My mom had to take the littlest three so that Avery and I could get to her soccer scrimmage and practice. Avery is the one in the purple shirt and black shorts.
We have one sub this year. Yes, ONE SUB!
Our biggest problems will be lack of stamina and that we are smaller in physical size than many of the other girls. But I was really proud of them and we 'won' the scrimmage!

Then this picture I just love.
It was Coach Mandy's way to do some conditioning.
Everyone put on a 'tail', ur I mean, bag...and run.
The person with the most 'tails' at the end wins.
But watch out!
If Coach Mandy or Coach Becky catch your tail that will earn you 10 push ups!

And now Im more than ready for bed!

Our soccer team was so worn out by the 2nd half of their first game yesterday. I may have to pass your idea on to the coach (Corey!) This is a great idea!
