On to playoffs....

Allison is on to the playoffs tonight. On Tuesday they won their game, and if they win the first playoff game tonight they go on to play at Gustavus college next Tues. night. I think that she's in the net tonight, so everyone say a little prayer for her that she is quick on her feet tonight. :) We had a spaghetti dinner last night to get them full of energy producing carbs. Pasta is my thing, and I could have eaten the whole crock-pot!

Today, I'm home with Mitch who is sick with a really bad head cold. He woke up this morning with crusty eyes and such a full head. Poor boy. I dosed him up with meds. (cold med., eye drops, and motrin for some growing pains in one of his legs) and now he's curled up on the couch, but sniffing and clearing his throat every 2 seconds. :( We won't have Sawyer today, either, as Jonnie has strep, and Alaina threw up during the night. I'm sure Lorrie will post about that later. :)
So, I'm going to sew some hockey banners today to get ready to decorate the rink tonight for Tanner's home tournament. Most of us hockey Mom's are not crafty people, and don't have tons of extra time to make glorious decorations....BUT, at one of the practices this week I walked in on a small group of women felting, ironing, glueing their little hearts out. They were making a huge tunnel made out of pvc piping for their boys to run through on their way to the ice. Man, did I feel inferior. They asked me what our team was doing (meaning US Moms) and I whimpishly said..."cardboard pucks and banners". I felt like they were fluffing their feathers a bit...and they should, that's a lot of hard work...but, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them; in a year or two those boys are not going to want to run through a felt tunnel that their Mom's made for them. If they only knew.......I didn't have the heart to tell them....
