Memorial Day Weekend Run Down

Girls got some Heelys. Big sale at Dunham Sports and a credit for returning a softball bat that turned out to not be "up-to-snuff". They've been wearing them every where!

Friday night was relaxing. Saturday morning was Flames softball for #8, tournament in Tremont. Due to rain and the fact MTHS was graduating the games for Sunday got cancelled. #8 then decided to pick-up the soccer game on Sunday morning. It was the Morton tournament. Metro Select beat Mahomet 4-0. #8 (This is her number in soccer as well) got the final goal late in the game. Surrounded by 4 Mahomet defenders, she juked (meaning in football is: To deceive or outmaneuver a defending opponent by a feint; fake) all 4 of them and then pounded in the final goal. She kicked it so hard, no one on the sidelines knew she kicked it until it had hit the back of the goal net. She then ran out from the huddle behind her, arms raised-up in the air big ole smile on her face. One of the other parents said, "She's like a barn lit on fire." It was sure fun to watch. Sorry for no photo, it was an early morning game, not enough time to grab the camera...even though it was sitting on the kitchen counter on my way to the door.

12-year-old got in some babysitting and earned a little green. Softball practice on Sunday evening.

Monday was a graduation party for Jessica who graduated from MTHS. She's going to Eureka College on a soccer scholarship. Also on the list for Monday, mowing grass, laundry, laundry, oh and did I mention laundry?

Last 4 full days of school...then it's summah time!
